Shopify basics & account setup

  • What is Shopify and how does it work for online stores?
    Hopify is an all-in-one ecommerce platform that lets a business build a storefront, accept payments, manage inventory, and sell across online, social, and in-person channels from one dashboard. It runs on hosted infrastructure, so store owners do not manage servers, security patches, or PCI compliance themselves. Pricing starts with the Basic plan at $39 a month ($29 a month billed annually) and scales up through Grow at $105 a month and Advanced at $399 a month, with Shopify Plus starting at $2,300 a month for high volume or B2B businesses.
  • How do I start a Shopify store from scratch step by step?
    To start a Shopify store from scratch, sign up for a Shopify account, choose a plan, pick and customize a theme, add your products, connect a payment method, and set shipping and tax rules. Add required pages like a refund and shipping policy, then place a test order to confirm checkout works before removing the storefront password to go live. There’s no fixed timeline, since catalog size and custom design work both affect how long setup takes.
