so this is a newbie question, but how do i launch my store? i just finished my site and need help.
Just remove the password and that’s it! I’ve long thought there needs to be a big Go Live button at least the first time you remove the password, but oh well.
Launching is however you define it. I took the password off my new store recently but I’m not considering it launched until I put up a few more designs and start advertising.

Hi there, @MommaMama .
Welcome to the Shopify Community and thank you for sharing your question here.
We hope you’re enjoying the platform so far. I understand that you’re inquiring about how to launch your store. As @casey-customs has mentioned, when you’re ready to launch your store you can disable the password page to allow customers to view and shop your products.
However, prior to launch, I recommend checking out our resource on preparing your Shopify store for launch to ensure it runs smoothly. Here are some important points to note prior to launch:
- Testing your checkout in test mode
- Order processing
- Preparing your inventory
- Enabling your shipping rates and settings
- Setting up your taxes
Prior to launch I also recommend utilizing social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and Pinterest to advertise your business and help bring traction to your page the day you launch. I’ll share our resource to get you started on creating a Social Media Marketing Strategy.
If you’d like, you can share your store URL here once you’ve launched so we can provide tailored feedback.
Good luck on your launch and I look forward to hearing back!
