Brand Identity
Give your store a personal touch by specifying your institution or brand name. It will appear on the landing page and select pages throughout the experience.
Logo Placement
Place your logo where it matters most—on login screens, landing pages, navigation menus, and emails. Send us a horizontal logo, and we’ll integrate it seamlessly.
Primary Brand Colour
Select a highlight colour that best matches your brand to use for buttons and accents. Options include blue, red, green, orange, purple, gold, and silver. All are tested for accessibility.
Welcome Page Customisation
Make your storefront feel inviting and on-brand:
- Custom Header: e.g., "Welcome to the [School Name] Virtual Bookstore"
- Branded Messaging: Replace default text with your tone and language
- Hero Image: Feature a banner image that sets the visual tone
Promotional Panels (Up to 3)
Feature key services or promotions using these flexible content blocks:
- Image Upload: Add a custom visual for each panel
- Header + Body: Short text that draws attention
- Button: Include a link (e.g., “Shop Now” or “Explore Programs”)
Use these panels to guide students and staff toward bookstore promotions, digital access options, or institutional resources.
Navigation Personalisation

- Sell Books
- Footer Link: Link to your institution’s site (e.g., http://your.edu)
