The Store’s Status will be set to “Draft” until you are ready to make your Store public.

The Store's Store Page URL will be generated with the Store Name instead of the Salesforce Record ID. If a Store has a duplicate name, the system will add a -2, -3, -4, and so on at the end of the URL.

Did you update your Store?
If anything connected to a Store is changed, you must click the Update button on the Store record for the changes to take effect and the cache to be cleared.
