Question 1

How is MiniMax Code different from a template-based ecommerce builder?

Accepted Answer

MiniMax Code is an AI development workspace that works with your project context, code, and browser previews. You can ask an Agent team to plan pages, implement changes, and review the result instead of limiting every request to a theme's settings. Generated code still needs testing, especially around cart behavior, checkout, and integrations.

Question 2

Can I start an ecommerce website without coding or design experience?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Start by describing your products, audience, and visual style in plain language, then review the storefront and ask for changes. Clear reference material helps. You should still review product information, accessibility, mobile behavior, and any custom code; complex integrations may need technical support.

Question 3

Can I check the build from my phone using Remote Control?

Accepted Answer

Remote Control connects your phone to a running MiniMax Code desktop app. After following the pairing instructions, you can check progress, add requirements, approve permission requests, and view task outputs. Keep the desktop app running; remote access does not replace the desktop workspace.

Question 4

How do I keep the store aligned with my brand guidelines?

Accepted Answer

Provide a clear brand guide covering colors, typography, imagery, tone, and product layouts in your project. MiniMax Code can use project context and remember useful preferences for later tasks. Memory supports consistency but does not replace the brand guide, so review each new page against your requirements.

Question 5

Can I connect a custom domain and payment provider?

Accepted Answer

MiniMax Code can help you implement and review integration code for the hosting and payment services you choose. A generated storefront does not automatically activate a custom domain, checkout, or payment account. You must configure the relevant accounts, DNS, credentials, and service settings, then test the complete order flow before launch.
