Hi, @AbwaErice!

It's super exciting to hear that you're launching your store soon! I want to ensure you have a couple of resources on hand to help you out when setting it up -

We have a Set Up Checklist that you can refer to and make sure all the essential areas of your store are set-up. I also want to provide you with our Intro to Shopify guide as well which gives a clear, in-depth explanation of each functionality within the store. With these two resources you'll have a great store up and running in no time!

Now, driving traffic to your store is very important when launching so I want to ensure you've got a plan in place. What are your current marketing strategies for your launch?
I would recommend taking a look at Social Media Marketing if you haven't already. Social Media Marketing is an effective strategy to have in place. This helps increase brand awareness, which in return, drives customers to your online store. We have a great resource on How to Create a Social Media Strategy That sells, so definitely take some time to read through it!
