Welcome to publica.la!

In this article we will take a tour of the initial settings and adjustments you can make on the platform.

If you have already created your store, log in with your administrator account and stay on the main section. We will go step by step through each section of the platform so you can gradually get familiar with it.

Remember that we are always a click away from you through the Chat button available in the Control Panel, or you can contact us by email at [email protected]
