I’m new here and honestly trying to figure how to start I’m at the point where it’s asking me to my first product. Do I just choose what I want to sell from a website or is there another process I gotta go through?

Hi, @Marshmallow02 .

Welcome to the Shopify Community.

Starting your own online store is an exciting journey and we’re here to help! I understand you’re in the process of deciding on what to sell and the next steps. Have you already thought about what you’d like to sell?

When it comes to what you’d like to sell on your online store, it’s totally up to you! If you have your own product to sell, you can set up your store to start selling your products. You can also customize your Shopify store with your branding, design, and other features to make it unique and engaging to your customers. Whether you already have a product to sell or are planning to create one, we provide a user-friendly platform to launch and scale your online business.

Additionally, you can sell products from other websites on Shopify through a process known as drop shipping. Dropshipping allows you to create an online store and sell products without holding them in inventory. Instead, when a customer places an order for a product, you order the product from a third-party supplier or manufacturer, who then ships the product directly to the customer. You can learn more about the dropshipping process through our What Is Dropshipping and How Does It Work resource.

I’d like to share some getting-started resources as you work on building and creating your online store to assist you during the process.

Let us know if you have any questions about the information shared.

I hope this helps!
