1. Sign Up with Shopify

Visit Shopify.com. Use the signup form to create an account.

Your store name needs to be unique or Shopify will ask you to choose something else.

After this initial screen, you’ll be asked for a few more details, including your name, address, country, and contact number.

You will also be asked if you have products and, if so, what you aim to sell. If you’re just trying out Shopify to see if it works for you, you can select ‘I’m just playing around’ in the ‘Do you have products?’ dropdown, and ‘I’m not sure’ in the ‘What will you sell?’ section.

2. Choose a Theme

Shopify has its own official theme store. These themes are all guaranteed to have full support from the designers so you know that your store is in good hands.

There are free and paid themes. All of them come with a comprehensive list of modifications you can make without having to touch a line of code. However, premium themes usually offer more modification options and slicker design.

If you decide to opt for a premium theme, it will set you back between $100 and $180. However, they are a good investment especially since there are many themes aimed at certain industries or products. So, you get a fitting look instantly at a reasonable price

Product Descriptions tell to customers that what you selling on your store. you need to use keywords related to your product that will help a website to rank fast in google.

• Think about what your customer needs to know to feel confident buying your product and try to communicate it in your description.
• Highlight incentives. Do you offer free shipping? Are your products eco-friendly? Consider what features, benefits, and offers really matter.

• Make your text easy to read. Make your descriptions easier to read with short paragraphs, bullet points, subheadings, bolded text, etc.
• Help customers see themselves using your product. Customers can’t taste, feel, touch, or try on your products. Outside of product photos, you can bring your products to life by listing the materials you use, including a sizing chart, or sharing the story about how they’re made—it all depends on your product.

Product photos and videos

• Use high-quality photos
• Avoid blurry or low-resolution images
• Maintain the same aspect ratio

Set your price

• Inventory
• Shipping
• Variants

Enter the price of your product and be sure to tick the ‘charge taxes’ box. Shopify will automatically add the correct sales tax based on your location.

Enter an ‘SKU’ (stock-keeping unit) which is simply a number to identify each product. IMPORTANTLY, change the ‘inventory policy’ to ‘Shopify tracks this product’s inventory’ and enter the number of products you have available.

4. Create A Custom Domain Name

A custom domain name makes your online store look slick and professional. Shopify makes it easy, so let’s click ‘set up a custom domain.

If you don’t yet own a domain name, Shopify allows you to see what’s available and buy it right there and then. If you already have a domain name through another seller (like GoDaddy), you can easily add that instead.

5. Add Your Payment Mechanism

For many, the simplest option is Paypal, but you can also choose ‘Shopify Payments’ which allows you to accept credit cards directly (without using PayPal as a middle man). You’ll just need to connect your bank account with Shopify. If you have another payment method in mind, you can choose from a dozen or more ‘alternative payments’ including Amazon, BitPay and CoinBase.
