Hi @Pabik,

Thanks for reaching out. You'll first want to establish if you're ready to launch your store yet, and you can do this by referring to our general checklist for starting a new Shopify store. This outlines the basic components of an online store that's ready to accept sales, and is worth referring to before you start selling. Our blog post on this topic is also a great reference for new merchants looking to get started.

Once you're confident that you're ready to start selling, you can remove the password page from your online store so that customers can visit the storefront and the checkout. It's good to place a test order to make sure the checkout is working as it should.

You'll then want to start marketing your store in order to drive traffic to your storefront, and focus on other ways in which you can attract potential customers. I'd recommend focusing on improving your store's SEO, focusing on building your social media presence on sites such as Facebook and Instagram, and using tools such as Shopify Email and Shopify Inbox to get in touch with customers.

I hope this helps but please do let me know if you have any specific questions about launching your store.
