General Questions
What is MyMinto?
MyMinto is a simple web app that enables you to build an online store. It's easy to use and you don't have to be a design whiz to figure it out. In fact, it's the simplest shopping cart on the web. For more info, take a look at the features of MyMinto.
How much does it cost?
Well, we have a range of affordable, monthly plans. Why not get started with one of our FREE Accounts?
Do you take a percentage of what I make?
No way. Not all all. The only percentages you pay from your sales are the PayPal fees. These are associated with your PayPal seller account and you are charged by PayPal. MyMinto stores use PayPal for payment processing. We don't add any additional fees.
Is the free account really free?
Yes, the free account really is free. There aren't any hidden costs or stuff like that. Use it for as long as you wish.
Are there contracts?
Nope. Never. You can enroll into a monthly plan and also cancel at any time.
What kind of stuff can I sell?
You can sell anything you want as long as it's legal and also doesn't violate our terms of service. You can't sell any alcohol, drugs, firearms/weapons, tobacco, pornography, recalled items, real estate, motor vehicles, or any items that promote hatred. You are responsible for all of the items that you sell in your store.
Is there a limit to the size of my store?
Limits are based on the monthly plan that you subscribe to. Take a look at our pricing plans to see which one is right for your business.
Do my customers need a PayPal account to purchase my products?
Nope. Just make sure that your PayPal settings allow someone to pay with a credit card and you're good to go. However, it's probably easiest to give your customers both options.
Are there any other layouts/customizations that I can make to my page?
Yeah! Just look under the "Themes" section when you're logged into your account. You can change the colors of the page to match your store colors. Also, you can upload a custom header or logo.
Can I use a custom domain?
Yep. However, you'll need to purchase a domain and change your DNS settings. Check with your provider about custom domain settings.
PayPal Integration
Do I need PayPal to use MyMinto?
Yes, you must have a PayPal seller account. It makes getting paid a breeze.
What kind of PayPal account do I need?

Using MyMinto
What are categories?
Categories are the groups that your products belong to on your storefront pages. These categories make it easier for your customers to find what they need. Example - If you sell a wide variety of shirts, you might want to have a category for Men's Shirts, one for Women's Shirts, one for Children's Shirts, etc.
What is product quantity?
MyMinto keeps track of your inventory. For example, if you have 10 of the same exact item, just enter "10" in the quantity field. When you sell all 10, we'll automatically display your item as "Sold Out."
How do I use Google Analytics with MyMinto?
Signup for a Google Analytics account and you can start tracking where your visitors are coming from. It's free! After signing up copy your Google Analytics account number (you don't need all of the tracking code, just the account number) and paste it into the "Google Analytics" field under the "Account" tab.
What are promo codes?
Promo codes are for when you want to run sales on items. Just create a code and send it out to who you want. When your customers enter the code in the shopping cart, the discount you specify will be applied. Note: Promotions stop exactly on the date you specify. They do not run through the end date.
What about shipping and taxes?
PayPal handles all shipping and taxes. This makes it easy for you to manage your storefront without having to get into the nitty gritty stuff. Just make sure to confirm your shipping and tax settings within your PayPal account.
How do I upload a custom logo or header?
Go to the "Theme" tab within your account and choose an image you would like to upload. We recommend a JPG or GIF.
Where can I display information about my company/business?
Under the "Theme" section of MyMinto, you'll find an area called "Custom Pages." Feel free to include information about your company in this section. Whatever you include here will show up in your storefront to your customers.
