How to Set Up Your E- commerce Site In 24 Hours Or Less
If youāre just starting to build your e-commerce website, one of the easiest ways to get started is by creating a Shopify account, and building your e-commerce store on their platform.
Ā
Shopify is very flexible, allowing you to sell both physical and digital items, and best of all you donāt need to have experience in design, coding or development to build a mobile-friendly, full-featured e- commerce website.
Ā
Letās go through the steps of setting up an e-commerce website using Shopify:
Ā
Step 1: Create your Shopify Account
Shopify offers a free 14-day trial with no need for a credit card.
Ā
To start, head over to the Shopify website at https://www.shopify.ca/
and create your account. Youāll need to enter an email address, password and choose a name for your storefront.
Ā
Youāll also be asked for a bit more information about your business, including how much you plan to sell and if youāre already selling products.
Ā
Ā
If you arenāt sure what youāre going to sell, or what your current revenue is, just choose āIām just getting startedā.
Ā
Step 2: Customize the Look of your Website
This is where youāll want to spend some time so that youāre able to create a website that truly stands out and reflects your brand. Consider hiring a graphic designer to create a logo that defines the type of products you plan to sell.
Ā
Youāll also want to choose a theme for your website and thankfully Shopify provides hundreds of free themes that you can use as well as premium ones that offer a bit more functionality.
Ā
You can browse the theme store at: http://themes.shopify.com/
Ā
When looking for a theme that fits your website, you can filter based on premium themes or free ones as well as based on industry, popularity, most recently added and even by features.
Ā
Once youāve selected a theme, return to your admin panel and choose āThemesā from the navigation menu. This will allow you to preview your theme live as well as further customize settings and overall appearance. Just because itās a free theme used by others doesnāt mean you canāt make it unique!
Ā
Click on āCustomize Themeā to play around with the available options and test out the different features to see what the theme is capable of and how you can make it your own.
Ā
This typically includes: adding your own logo, uploading images into a product display carousel, modifying the color scheme and utilizing different font styles to highlight product titles and descriptions. You can also choose whether you wish to feature social media buttons including twitter, Pinterest and Instagram.
Ā
Step 3: Choose A Product to Sell
If you have your own products then you can skip this step, however if you are looking for products that are in-demand, youāll want to check out the Oberlo marketplace at: https://www.shopify.ca/oberlo
Ā
Oberlo help you quickly find and add products directly to your Shopify store, meaning you can get up and running in just a couple of hours.
Whenever you find products, youāll never have to worry about inventory or shipping because Oberlo does all of that for you on a drop- shipping basis.
Ā
If you have your own products, youāll be able to quickly add them to your shop just by going through the āAdd Productā step-by-step guide. Enter in the product name, description and price. Youāll be able to edit your product pages any time should you wish to revise the description, or adjust the price.
Ā
One thing to keep in mind when adding products to your Shopify store is that itās important to use keywords whenever possible in order to boost SEO. This includes product names, description and page URLās. Include as much information as possible to inform customers about the different products available to them.
Ā
You also want to pay close attention to the product images you use. Upload high-quality images that truly highlight your products in the best possible way, including any special features or unique factors that could persuade a potential customer into purchasing your product.
Ā
Step 4: Group Your Products into Collections
To provide better navigation and to help connect customers with various products, consider creating a collection of products based on common features.
Ā
For example, if you are selling clothing you would want to create collections or groups based on sizes, colors or items on sale. Collections will help your customer find what theyāre looking for quickly without having to browse through all your inventory.
Step 5: Register a Domain Name
Youāll want to register your own domain at a service like http://www.NameCheap.com or http://www.GoDaddy.com after setting up your Shopify shop so that you can direct the domain to your Shopify URL.
Having your own domain is important because it helps you build a recognized brand and makes it easier for consumers to remember where to find your storefront.
Ā
Once you have registered a domain, return to your Shopify dashboard, click on Settings and add it to your account using the āAdd an existing domainā button.
Ā
Donāt forget to update your DNS with your domain registrar so that it directs people to your Shopify website. You can contact your domain registrarās support team if you arenāt sure how to set this up.
Step 6: Choose Your Payment Processors
From within your Shopify account, click on the tab to the left of the dashboard called Payments. This area allows you to choose from dozens of available payment processors such as Paypal, Stripe and Authorize.net.
Ā
Shopify also has its own payment processor which is super easy to implement should you wish to give it a try. Simply walk through the steps to activate your payment processor so that your website can accept payments.
Ā
Thatās it! You can tweak your website as needed, play around with different themes and continue to customize your website however you see fit!
Ā
Taking Advantage of the Javascript Buy SDK
One of the great things about Shopify is that you no longer need to migrate your entire website to take advantage of Shopifyās features and security. With the JavaScript Buy SDK, you can easily add e-commerce functionality to your website while still being able to host your storefront on your own server.
Ā
Selling Digital Products with Shopify:
If you plan to sell digital products through Shopify, check out SendOwl. SendOwl is a third-party application designed to protect content and deliver digital goods immediately after payment verification. Visit: https://apps.shopify.com/sendowl for details.
Ā
Final Words
I hope this guide has given you the information you need to zero in on the mobile shopping market in order to maximize sales and build a business based on long-term success.
Ā
Start off by making sure any existing websites you own are mobile friendly. Preview them on any mobile device to confirm that they expand and contract based on the size of the screen. Then, look for ways to improve engagement by developing an intuitive, user-friendly e-commerce website that appeals to mobile users.
Ā
Use clear navigation to direct and guide them through your website. Simplify the checkout process, keeping in mind that people donāt want to spend as much time filling out forms on a mobile device as they may on a computer.
Ā
And finally, expand your outreach by getting ahead of the curve and setting yourself up for ongoing success as the mobile shopper market continues to grow.
Ā
I wish you the very best of success!
