You can easily determine if your store is open for business based on whether or not you see the Open for Business Control Panel when you sign in to your My Services page and click the Store link. When you first sign up for and access your store, you will see the Open for Business Control Panel.
After you complete all the necessary tasks, the Open for Business Control Panel will show you a button to open your store for business. Click the Open for Business button in order to open your store. Note: This button does not appear until you have completed all tasks.
Once your store is open, you will always see the Store Manager which provides links into all of the functionality for your store.
