Launching a Shopify store goes smoothly when the work is done in the right order. Here is a simple plan.
1. Decide the catalogue
List your products with clear names, photos, prices and the facts a buyer needs, such as size and materials. Group them into collections that match how people shop.
2. Set up payments, shipping and tax
Choose the payment methods available in your country, set shipping rates and regions, and configure tax from your accountant’s guidance.
3. Add the policies
Write clear returns, shipping and privacy policies. Shoppers look for them before buying.
4. Test before opening
Place test orders on a phone and on a computer, and check the emails customers receive.
5. Plan the first marketing
Decide how the first visitors will arrive: search, ads, email or social media. Our Shopify service covers setup and the marketing that follows.
