Cloning a storefront
You can clone an existing storefront to create a copy with the same design settings, product selections, and configuration. Cloning is useful when you need to create a similar storefront for a different audience or region without starting from scratch.
Prerequisites
-
An existing storefront in your organization
-
Storefront Admin role on the source storefront.
To clone a storefront
-
In the navigation pane, choose Accounts & Storefronts.
-
Locate the storefront you want to clone.
-
Choose the actions menu on the storefront card, then choose Clone.
The actions menu on a storefront card contains Edit, Clone, and Delete.
-
Enter a Name for the cloned storefront.
-
Choose Clone.
The new storefront is created in draft state with all settings copied from the source storefront. You can modify any settings before deploying.
What is cloned
The following settings are copied to the new storefront:
-
Layout type and design configuration
-
Color theme and branding
-
Product selections
-
Tag structure and filters
-
BWA (Buy With AWS) configuration
-
Vendor settings
What is not cloned

Deployment status (clone starts in draft)

Analytics data
-
Order history

Storefront SSO configuration (must be reconfigured). For setup, see Setting up single sign-on for a storefront.

Deployment
After configuring your storefront's design, products, and settings, you deploy it to make it accessible to buyers. Deployment publishes the storefront at its configured URL.
Storefront states
| State | Description |
|---|---|
| Draft | Storefront is being configured. Not accessible to buyers. |
| Deployed | Storefront is live and accessible at its URL. |
| Disabled | Storefront was previously deployed but is now taken offline. |
To deploy a storefront
-
Open the storefront and choose the Checkout & Deployment tab.
-
Turn on the Deploy your storefront toggle, then choose Save.
-
The storefront becomes accessible at
https://<name>.storefront.marketplace.aws.com.
Storefront URL
By default, your storefront is accessible at:
https://<name>.storefront.marketplace.aws.com
The subdomain is derived from the storefront name.
Use the Update domain field to change the subdomain for your storefront URL.
The following controls are available for the storefront URL:
-
Open link – Opens the storefront URL in a new browser tab.
-
Copy link – Copies the storefront URL to your clipboard.
-
Share link – Generates a shareable link for distribution to buyers or stakeholders.
Buy with AWS toggles
On the Checkout & Deployment tab, the Buy with AWS toggle enables Buy with AWS for the storefront. The Buy with AWS banner toggle controls whether the Buy with AWS banner is displayed. Both toggles default to enabled.
To disable a storefront
-
Open the storefront and choose the Checkout & Deployment tab.
-
Turn off the Deploy your storefront toggle, then choose Save.
-
The storefront is taken offline. Buyers who visit the URL see an unavailable message.
You can re-deploy a disabled storefront at any time without losing configuration.
Updating a live storefront
Changes made to a deployed storefront (design, products, tags) take effect immediately after saving. There is no separate re-deploy step. Buyers see updates as soon as you save them.
