Also I don’t want my domain name to say that shopify.comI don’t want Shopify name on my domain name but anyway can someone tell me the first steps I need to do to get this started and do they have a website designers that can do this for me
If someone else is taking care of uploading the products for you, I’d say your first step is to purchase a domain to take the place of the myshopify URL. You can either buy a domain directly from your Shopify admin, or connect a third-party domain if you’ve bought one outside of Shopify.
You can also set up your billing information, tax, and shipping settings to make sure that your store is ready to process transactions. Other setup steps depend on your marketing plan and where you’ll be selling if anywhere outside of your website (for example, social media channels like Facebook and Instagram).
