Hello [email removed]

Glad to see that you’re ready to really get started, I would be happy to help with that here.

From what you’re saying here, I understand you already have an account, - or are you still creating one?

Just in case, you can take a look at our FAQ page here to learn more.

Next, what are the products that you’re looking to sell? Are they your own products, or are you looking to source them from a supplier and do dropshipping?

If the products are your own, I have a full guide for you here on uploading products to get started with.

If you would like to dropship instead, we have an array of fantastic resources to help you get on track to starting your Dropshipping business, and below I will share some of my personal favourites:

Have a look through all of those depending on what you would like to do!

I have also included our Shopify Blog guide here on How to Start an Online Store - this is a great step by step guide that you can take your time with while you’re learning.

Hi,

Shopify Customer Support would be your last resort, as they are not very keen on helping & fast replies. Create a new post here with what issues you have & community will try to help you.

Good luck! :slightly_smiling_face:
