Step by step guide to create Shopify Store for beginners with Image explanation.

It is undoubtedly true that Shopify is the biggest e-commerce platform. It has gained immense popularity within short time.  Over 500000 business is running in this platform and increasing day by day.  Why?  Because this platform is super easy and even a new user can run/operate/maintain his/her store easily. To start business in this field is very easy and it is very cost effective. With a lowest budget you can be a mega store owner. How? Yes, I am going to provide here a step by step guide to do it easily.

Step # 1:   Sign Up in Shopify.

Go to Shopify.com and put your email here and click “get started”

Then a new window comes.  Put password and write your store name and click next. After that you will get a new window and put your address and click “enter my store”

Step # 2:  Online store setting:

Now you have to choose a theme to make your store beautiful. Now go to the dashboard of your store and click “online store”

Now scroll down and you will see three options here.

 Option one:

 If you want to use free theme, click “explore free themes” and you will get option to select on theme and publish it.  You can choose Narrative, debut or Brooklyn

Option two: 

You can choose free or paid theme from this option by search.  Match your category and choose a theme.

Option Three: 

This option is only for custom theme or Shopify theme bought from another place. You can also use custom theme or third party Shopify Theme such as “ YourStore” shopify theme from themeforest

Now customize your theme like header, slideshow, footer, collection list, newsletter etc.

After clicking “customize” you can see options to edit it. Such as, if you want to add logo, click “header’ and add logo.

Step # 3: domain Setting:

Now it’s time to set up domain to give your store a professional look.  Yes, https://yourname.myshopify.com  is not a professional domain. This sub domain is provided when you are under trial. You have to purchase domain.  To set up your domain, click “domain” option under ‘online store” and you will find options to purchase domain or set up your existing domain.

If you want to buy your domain from Shopify click “buy new domain”.  If you want to buy it from another place or if you have bought it already, click “connect existing domain”

Step # 4: Payment Setting:

This is one of the most important parts of setting up a Shopify store.  PayPal is the flexible and standard form of payment.  To set up payment method click “setting” under “online store”. 

Now, you can see many tabs to set up. Click “payment” and set up your desired method to get payment.

 Step # 5: Shipment Setting:

Shipping is an important part of an ecommerce store. You have to write a reasonable and acceptable shipping policy. People always want to get product at free shipping. As a newcomer you can’t afford to give free shipping. So, it is better idea to mention and conditional shipment policy like “ free shipping for price over $ 300” or “ order 5 products together to get free shipping”.

You will get “shipping tab” just beside of “payment”. Now, click on “shipping tab” and configure it.

You are almost done. Now, import products and start campaign.  

You will get 14 days trial and after this or in the meanwhile you have to choose a plan. I recommended you to choose basic plan as you are newbie here.
