<\/span><\/h3>\nYou will be taken to your store admin page after completing the signing up process.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span>Establishing How Your Online Store will Look<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\nYou will like your store to stand out from the others and reflect your personality, right? You can do this with themes that will allow you to personalize it the way you want. These themes are available at the official Shopify theme store.<\/span><\/p>\nEvery theme got a list of modifications that can be applied to it, but, you don\u2019t have to be a tech wiz or coder as the modifications list for the themes are user-friendly and simple to use. More modifications are available with premium themes but your site will still look great with free themes.<\/span><\/p>\nAnd just in case you want to deeply change your online store theme, it\u2019s very simple by using HTML and CSS which gives you a lot of options to work with. Like we implied earlier, you don\u2019t have to be a software guru to be able to do this as you can call on a lineup of design agencies also known as \u2018Shopify experts\u2019 to personalize your site to your taste.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span>Changing Your Shopify Settings<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\nMost of the themes on Shopify will allow you to personalize your site anytime you want by making changes on how it looks, so your store can be unique.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span>Uploading Products onto Your Store<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\nGo to the bar on the left and select \u2018Products\u2019. On that page\u2019s top right-hand corner is a blue \u2018Add a product\u2019 button. Use that page to provide as many details as possible of your products, most especially those that will aid your SEO campaigns like name, description, and URL. Provide details about the variations of your products in order to better inform your customers.<\/span><\/p>\nYou will also upload your product pictures on this page. Once all your products are uploaded, click on the \u2018Save product\u2019 button at the right-hand corners at either the top or bottom of the page.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span>Setting up Product Collections on Your Store<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\nCollection refers to a group of products with similar features that customers might want when they visit your store.<\/span><\/p>\nCollections can be made of any combination of products. Make sure you display your collections on your home page and the navigation bar. This will make it easier for customers to find what they are looking for and avoid the stress of going through the whole catalog.<\/span><\/p>\nThere are two options to select when adding products to a new collection in your store. The first option involves listing the products by hand while the second option involves doing it in an automated manner. This is done by establishing a setlist of conditions for products to be listed. Once a product fulfills these conditions, it\u2019s automatically listed in the collection.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span>Collecting Payments<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\nCustomers will pay for the products on your site through a payment gateway which will be integrated into your site. Not all payment gateways have the same offerings so you have to scrutinize their features carefully.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span>Going Live with Your Online Store<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\nThere are still some more details to be sorted out like adding some more information about your company, how you intend to deliver customers\u2019 purchases and your tax payment structure.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span>Shopify\u2019s Major Pros and Cons<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\nPros<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n\n- Simplicity\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
