Hey! So you’re saying that the starter plan isn’t able to be “blog only”? Maybe that’s why Add Pages and Organize Navigation options did not come up in the Setup Guide. Those options are totally missing
Topic summary
Main issue: whether Shopify’s Starter Plan can support user logins and posting blog-only content.
-
Shopify response: The Starter Plan is designed for sharing product links and selling via social channels, not for a content-focused site. Blogging features are available on other subscription plans, not on Starter.
-
Follow-up: The poster notes “Add Pages” and “Organize Navigation” options are missing in the Starter setup guide, consistent with limited site-building features. They conclude Starter cannot be used as a “blog-only” plan.
-
Customer feedback: Another participant requests a blog-first plan that could upgrade later to a full store. They say requiring a full plan for each content site is a barrier and will consider WordPress instead, urging Shopify to address this segment.
-
Outcome: No decisions or changes announced. The discussion clarifies that Starter does not support blog-only functionality and remains open with a feature request noted.
