Creating An Online Store With Shopify

A top e-commerce website builder, the Shopify platform makes it simple for users to start and grow an online store or sell services.

Starting at around $35/month, Shopify offers a free domain (although not custom) with its hosting plans. It has plenty of code free app extensions but they can get expensive so it’s important to plan and budget ahead to avoid surprises and minimize expenses.

Build On Shopify

A long weekend or any reason to take a day or two off is enough time to set up a shop with 3-5 search engine-optimized products when prepared with the tools below. Before beginning, break the following steps down into as many “blocks” as needed, then batch time each week (or month) to work on launching or expanding the store.

Selling Business Services and Products on Shopify

Other than the commonly and legally banned items on most e-commerce sites, Shopify accommodates services, and print-on-demand, ready-made, or made-to-order products of all kinds.

With Shopify no-code apps, sellers can provide online and offline pickup, plus automate and integrate with popular sale’s channels, including Google, Meta (Facebook and Instagram), and Pinterest – often for free. Meaning, sellers are less likely to have to limit strategic planning.

Start small to limit overwhelm while adjusting to the platform. A store can be launched with a single product or service and mastering a single item makes it easier to duplicate successes. Remember each item will need a description, price, and media (photos, videos, etc.) so fewer items mean less work.

Finally, be sure to leave enough time to market, deliver and maintain each inventory item and customer relationship. This part always takes more time than anyone expects so consider doubling or even tripling initial estimates.
