# Creating and publishing

There are two parts to setting up a function on your store:

1. **Creating the function**: You create the conditions required for each function to work. You can find specific function setup instructions in the **Templates** and **Function types** sections of the Help Center. 
2. **Publishing a widget on your storefront**: This is important if you want to advertise the function, like in the case of discounts, sales, or free shipping promos.
