I purchased a premade Shopify store and it was done and the items for sale were loaded and everything. My question is how do I make money with this store? The prices were already on when I purchased the store but I have no idea if I need to change them or how much money I make from a product. Can anyone help me to understand this aspect?
Hi @kplis ,
Congratulations on getting started with your online store!
It’s great that you found a store you liked and bought it. However, you will need to fully understand how it was made and all the different component parts to it in order to be able to run it successfully.
For example, you need to know where the products are coming from and how to fulfill the orders when they come in. Are you dropshipping? Are your products being stocked and shipped by suppliers?
If you do not have your own physical product inventory to sell then it is likely that the store you bought will have a dropshipping app of some kind attached to it. Dropshipping is a retail fulfillment method where a store doesn’t keep the products it sells in stock. Instead, when a store sells a product, it purchases the item from a third party and has it shipped directly to the customer. As a result, the merchant never sees or handles the product. You can take a look at our Intro to Dropshipping for more oversight.
You can check if you have such an app attached to this store by signing in, going to “Apps” in the top left, and having a look.
Also, are you familiar with how to manage your Shopify store? Or customize it if needs be? The more context you can give me the better I can help you. In fact, if you replied to me here with that information I could advise you further with more tailored guidance, rather than inundate you with lots of irrelevant information now.
I look forward to hearing from you!
