Hey @joshua29 ,

Thanks for reaching out! This is Luna from Shopify. I’m so excited to hear that you’re considering opening a business with us. We’d love to have you on board. Please also know that we’re here to help you through each step of this journey.

To share a little bit of context about Shopify, we are a subscription-based software that allows anyone to set up an online store and sell their products. Shopify is a commerce platform that offers a way to quickly launch your dream business and start selling to your customers, anywhere in the world. I will admit that starting out can be overwhelming at times. However, Shopify offers you all the tools you need to get started and grow your business successfully. Some of Shopify’s features include templates for the look and feel of your store, tools to sell in multiple places online and in-person, integrated payment processing, the best-converting checkout on the internet, SEO, and marketing tools. For more context, check out our blog: What is Shopify?

In order to get started, you can sign up for our free 14-day trial*.* This offer is a great way to learn more about our platform while starting to create your website. You can sign up on our website here: Free trial. After your trial ends, you can pick a plan and start selling right away. We offer three-tier subscription plans. Most merchants decide to start with the Basic Shopify plan (29 USD/month). However, you can always upgrade your plan to add new features and functionality to your store as needed. Check out our Pricing plan options for more information.

Lastly, I want to share a couple of resources I highly recommend for learning how to get started with Shopify.

  1. Getting Started: This resource outlines some important things to take into consideration when building your store.
  2. Shopify Youtube: The Shopify Help Center Youtube center is also a great resource. Each video is created by our team here and provides lots of information along with visual guides for different aspects of store setup. Including this video: What is Shopify?
  3. Shopify Compass: Compass helps entrepreneurs start and run businesses on Shopify by giving them access to the guidance, resources, and community they need to be successful. This is a great place to learn more about creating your online business.

I’d love to hear more about your business idea! What type of products will you be selling?
