If you don't have a platform login yet, add the store with **Username** and **Password** left empty, register in the store browser, then come back and fill them in. If you already have a login, enter it when you [add a store](https://merca.getchrovia.com/en/docs/add-store).

Only the owner or an admin can add stores. Launch the store in the desktop app. This example uses Amazon, United States, and store name **新店铺环境**.

## Add the store without a login

1. Open the Merca desktop app, sign in, and go to **My stores**.
2. Click **Add store** at the top right.
3. Enter a **Store name**.
4. Set **Platform** to **Amazon**, then check **United States** under **Sites**.
5. Leave **Username** and **Password** empty. Both are marked **Optional**.
6. For **Node**, pick one that no other store on this platform has used. You need a node to launch. If you don't have one, see [Add a node](https://merca.getchrovia.com/en/docs/import-node).
7. Click **Add store**.

Other platforms and sites work the same way.

## Launch and register

The new store appears in the list. **Username** shows **Not set**.

Click **Launch** on that store. When the store window opens, complete registration there. Don't use the system browser.

The next time you click **Launch**, they'll autofill on the sign-in page. See [How password autofill works](https://merca.getchrovia.com/en/docs/password-autofill).
