Hey @Investment_2025

Welcome! You’re definitely in the right place — and it’s great that you’re asking the right questions early on. Here’s a quick and practical breakdown to get started and avoid common mistakes:

1. Customer Payment Methods

  • Shopify Payments is easy and covers major cards.
  • Also enable PayPal, Apple Pay, and Shop Pay for faster checkouts.
  • Offer multiple options to reduce abandoned carts.

2. Global Shipping

  • Use Shopify Markets to manage different countries/zones.
  • Start with Printful, CJdropshipping, or Zendrop — they offer international fulfillment and shipping estimates.
  • Keep shipping info clear on your product pages.

3. Best Free Theme

  • Dawn theme (Shopify’s default theme): clean, fast, mobile-optimized.
  • Add sections, product upsells, and customize without code.

4. Best Free Upsells

  • Try iCart Cart Drawer Cart Upsell (free plan available) – lets you show upsells, cross-sells, and add urgency before checkout to boost AOV.
  • It works in the cart drawer, so it won’t interfere with checkout restrictions.

5. Free CRM Option

  • Shopify Email is good for basic email flows.
  • For more power, try Klaviyo (free for small lists) – it tracks customer behavior and lets you build abandoned cart emails, win-back flows, etc.

6. Find Top-Selling High-Ticket Items (Non-Brand Name)

  • Use AliExpress Dropshipping Center, TikTok Creative Center, or Google Trends to find what’s hot.
  • Look for products with high perceived value like:
    • Fitness gear
    • Home improvement tools
    • Car accessories
    • Pet tech
