Just starting but don’t know how to begin any resources?

Hi, @NanaAnna.

Thank you for reaching out and welcome to Shopify!

We have a ton of really great resources for you. Shopify Learn is filled with courses on pretty much everything Shopify from Getting started to fulfillment to finances, etc. I recommend the Getting Started tutorial as this video goes over designing your online store, shipping your product, getting paid, growing your business, launching your store and more. Once you have completed that course, you can look into more specific areas of what you want to work on within your store. 

Please let me know if you have any further questions! I would love to learn more about your business. What type of products do you sell? 
 
Talk soon,
