First Setup
Choose business type, name, and subdomain
Welcome screen
When you first log into the admin panel, a setup window (WelcomeModal) appears. Here you configure three key parameters for your business: type, name, and subdomain. These settings determine how your admin panel looks and where your site will be accessible.
1Choose your business type
The business type affects the admin panel interface — section labels, recommendations, and templates adapt to your choice. Six types are available:
- Restaurant — full menu with modifiers, delivery, reservations
- Cafe — quick orders, daily specials, loyalty
- Bakery — baked goods catalog, pre-orders
- Store — product catalog with variants, categories, and stock levels
- Personal brand — services, portfolio, online booking
- Portfolio — project gallery, contact forms, reviews
The first three types (restaurant, cafe, bakery) fall under the food service category — POS integrations and stop-list management tools are available for them. Store is for retail. Personal brand and portfolio are for services and creative professions.
2Enter your business name
Provide the real name of your business. It will be displayed in the site header, the browser tab title, and on order receipts.
During registration the system creates a temporary name like "John's Site" — be sure to replace it with your actual business name.
3Set up your subdomain
The subdomain is your site address in the format your-name.bazex.co. The system automatically generates it from your business name, transliterating Cyrillic characters to Latin.
For example, if your business is called "Sunny Bakery", the subdomain will be suggested as sunny-bakery.bazex.co. You can edit it manually.
The subdomain is hard to change later
How business type affects the interface
The chosen type determines which labels you see in the admin panel:
- The products section is always called "Products" — for all business types
- The sidebar badge adapts: "Restaurant", "Cafe", "Store", "Brand", or "Portfolio"
- The profile heading changes: "My venue", "My store", "My brand", or "My portfolio"
You can choose any type
Next step
Setup is complete! Now head over to Adding your first products — create a few products so your site starts looking like a real catalog.
