How To Build an Online Store?

 Reading Time: 5 minutes

Building an online store is made very easy with the help of  Shopify. What is Shopify? 

According to Winter (2024), Shopify is a complete commerce platform that lets anyone start, manage, and grow a business. You can use Shopify to build an online store, manage sales, market to customers, and accept payments in digital and physical locations.

Shopify’s reputation as a commerce leader comes from listening to the experiences of millions of business owners. By supporting solopreneurs and enterprise brands, Shopify has built the features and products that power today’s businesses and will shape the future of commerce( Winter, 2024). 

Shopify is a buildable product that includes a core offering across several plans. Store owners can stack additional products on that base layer, customizing components and integrating apps to create a personalized experience for their business’s needs (Winter, 2024). 

Every Shopify plan* comes with everything you need to turn your idea into a business and start selling: an online store with customizable templates, tools to sell across channels, Shopify’s fast and secure checkout, and built-in marketing features. This is the foundation upon which Shopify’s other products and applications are built (Winter, 2024).

Some of the features included with a Shopify subscription:

• Customizable themes. Shopify’s free online store themes have built-in support for animations, including dynamic scrolling and hover effects.
• AI features to help you get more done. Generate on-brand content, set up auto-reply, and write product descriptions with Shopify Magic.
• Access to millions of mobile shoppers on the Shop app. Personalize your mobile store and extend your brand in a matter of clicks. Shop Stores includes customizable collections, categories, and navigation—just like your online store.
• The world’s best checkout. Shopify plans come with the world’s highest-converting one-click checkout that’s trusted by the biggest brands.
• A custom domain on Shopify. Select and host your domain securely with Shopify, with full control and configuration to customize easily.
