Okay, I am just starting out with my first online business and I am having horrible luck figuring out how to add my items to my website. I have made collections and have added all of my inventory but adding it to my website has been a challenge. Can someone please help me!

once you add your products to your shopify admin . To make them available to your website , you just change the status of your products to active. Good luck !

Hey, I have a similar promlem. I am starting buisness too and can’t add it to a website. And there is something else: I tried to make my website by myself but I see I’m tired. I even start to think I am burned down. Can I hire someone when my project is half-made and not te remake it?

Hey, @CRB2022 ! Welcome to Shopify Community!

One of the ways you can add products to your website is to add them (or the collection they’re in) to your navigation or your menu. Apart from that, you can add them to a section on your homepage. Feel free to refer to the following guides to add your products to your online store.

Add collection or products to your navigation or menu

  1. In your Shopify admin, go to Online Store > Navigation.
  2. Click the menu you would like to add it to (e.g. Main menu).
  3. Click Add menu item.
  4. Enter a name.
  5. Click the Link box and select Collections or Products.
  6. Click the appropriate collection or product you would like to add.
  7. Click Add.
  8. Click Save menu.

Add collection or products to a section on the homepage

  1. In your Shopify admin, go to Online Store > Themes.
  2. Click Customize beside the theme you would like to add the products to.
  3. On the left sidebar, click Add section.
  4. Click the section you wish to add.
    • Click Collection list to add a link to a collection
    • Click Featured collection to feature a selection of products in a collection
    • Click Featured product to feature one product
  5. Select the collection or product on the right sidebar.
  6. Click Save.

Make sure your products are active and have been set to be available in the online store so they appear on your website after you add them. You can follow the steps from this guide to ensure this.

While you build your website and work towards your launch, consider referring to our launch checklist. Using the checklist as a guide in working towards your launch will be an effective way to ensure you don’t forget to set up any crucial elements of your website that are needed for a successful opening day. The checklist is really helpful as it will take you through different stages of building your store–from adding sales channels to setting up your billing information.
