Before you start
Before you start setting up your Shopify store, it's important to understand your goals. Ask yourself basic questions about your store. This can help you to focus your attention and speed up your setup process. You might also want to think about which pricing plan meets your needs. However, you don't need to choose a plan until the end of your free trial.
First steps
Before you stock your Shopify store with products, you need to enter some information about yourself and your store. You need to decide on some basic standards for your product listings and customer transactions. Also, you need to set up your domain to make sure that your customers can find your store online.
Organize your store
The way that your store is designed and the kinds of products that you're going to sell are two of the most important parts of your online store. Try a few different themes to confirm which one best represents your business, and then add some products to sell.
Depending on how many products you plan to offer, adding and organizing your product listings can be the most time-consuming step of setting up a Shopify store. Be sure to give yourself plenty of time to add your products, to organize them into logical groups, and to set the necessary tax and shipping information.
Test your store
Before you launch your online store, place some test orders to preview how the checkout process works.
Launch your online store
After you've picked a plan and tested your online store, you're ready for people to use it.
Add other online sales channels
After you launch your online store, your business might benefit from adding some other online channels to your Shopify store. There are several optional online channels that you can add to your Shopify admin when selling online.
Promote your business
After you launch your online store, you need to promote it. You can improve your store's visibility by thoughtfully defining your home page metadata and by promoting your store in all of the appropriate spaces.
