I’m a bit confused on what are the steps I have to take before having my Shopify store turned on.
I suggest you follow Shopify’s checklist to launch a new store.
Hey @chaschas !
Welcome to the Shopify Community and I’m glad you asked!
As mentioned by @Josh_Uebergang the General checklist for starting a new Shopify store is a great starting point!
This checklist outlines all the steps that you need to take in order to get started with Shopify. This checklist will help guide you create, open, and promote your online store. You’ll need to enter some information about yourself and your store, decide on some basic standards for your product listings and customer transactions, and set up your domain to make sure that your customers can find your store online.
Additionally, you’ll need to think about which pricing plan meets your needs, choose which sales channels you want to use, and explore the Shopify App store to see which apps could help you with your business.
I’d also like to share this 14 step pre-launch checklist link with you, which I think you’ll find most helpful too. If you are more of a visual learner then you can always check out our YouTube channel which has heaps of tutorials and helpful information. Here is a video on getting things set up for your store!
