How do I start a Shopify store from scratch step by step?
First, create a Shopify account and choose your store name. This will be your online shop address where people will come to buy your products.
Next, choose a store design that matches your business. Shopify gives many ready designs that already look good on mobile and desktop, so your store looks professional from day one.
Then, add your products. Upload clear photos, write simple product details, and set your prices so customers clearly know what they are buying.
After adding products, connect your payment method. This allows customers to pay you using cards, UPI, or online banking, depending on your country.
Now set your delivery options. Add your shipping areas, charges, and delivery time so customers know when their orders will arrive.
Before going live, test your store by placing a sample order. This helps you check that payments, emails, and delivery settings are working properly.
Finally, make your store live and start sharing your store link on WhatsApp, Instagram, Google, and other platforms to get visitors and sales.
