How many stores can be opened on one account?
Currently we do not limit the number of stores for a single user, but we recommend focusing on the quality of content in each of them.
Do customers see a connection between my stores?
No, unless you specify links to your other stores yourself. For a customer, each store on Lavky.com appears as an independent retail outlet.
How does SEO work for additional stores?
Each store has its own unique URL, which allows Google to index them as separate pages. We recommend using different keywords for each store.

No, all stores on Lavky, attached to your Western Bid personal account, use a single Western Bid payment gateway. This greatly simplifies reporting for individual entrepreneurs.
How to close an additional store if it is no longer needed?
You can deactivate the store in the Western Bid account settings or simply hide all listings. This will not affect the operation of your other stores.
