  2. Short description. This description will be seen by site visitors.
  3. Site technical domain. Write the account domain using the English alphabet. Domain is the address of a website on the Internet, consisting of a set of letters and numbers. Each domain name is unique. A subdomain (or subdomain from the English subdomain) is a domain that is part of a higher-level domain. For example admin.accelsite.io is a subdomain and the higher level domain would be accelsite.io.

  4. Domain. You can also attach your existing domain to the AXL platform in order to sell your product through AXL. How to create a domain is described in the article "Sites".

Now you have a website card in the “Sites” field.
You can see the name of the site and the address of the page. As well as site statistics: visits for today, for 7 days and for 30 days.

There is a three dots icon in the upper right corner of the card. Click on the icon and select:
