New Store configuration challenges

Shopify Discussion

Topic summary

A new store owner completed a free Shopify build, watched setup videos, and remains confused because her interface looks different. She’s also having trouble importing products to Zendrop (a dropshipping app), noting its screens differ from the tutorials.

Community responses include: an offer to help and a request for the store URL; general tips to use Shopify guides, verify payment/shipping settings, ask specific questions, and run a test order. Another participant encourages asking more specific, task-level questions for better support.

The store owner thanked responders and shared what she believes is her URL, which is an admin link (https://admin.shopify.com/store/mpxacy-ej). She reiterated confusion about both Shopify setup and Zendrop importing and followed up asking for assistance.

No resolution yet. Next steps suggested by context: share the public storefront URL, specify which steps/screens differ, and detail the exact Zendrop import errors or points of failure. The thread remains open with pending guidance on Zendrop integration and interface discrepancies.

It sounds like you are very new to this, thankfully Shopify makes it easy!

The more specific your question on this forum, the better help you’ll get.

For instance - I need help setting up shipping zones VS My store is not working.
