I need a business partner

Hi @Somroyals ,

Thank you for reaching out to the Community! I’m glad to hear you’re interested in opening an online shop and would be happy to provide some guidance on getting started.

To provide some context, Shopify is an e-commerce platform merchants use to sell both online and in-person. We have a great FAQ Page you can check out for a complete breakdown of the platform, how it works, pricing, etc.

If you have not already, please feel free to sign up for our Trial Period to begin testing out the platform to ensure it works for your business needs. I also encourage you to check out our Starting An Online Store Guide for step-by-step instructions on how to build your online shop.

Do you however, have any ideas on what you’d like to start selling just yet?

Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I look forward to hearing from you!
