Thank you for choosing to work with us. If you haven’t scheduled your initial free consultation, please do so now so we can discuss your ecommerce needs.  (Form below)

 

 

Here are the next steps we’ll be taking together. If you have any questions at any time, please do not hesitate to get in touch with us either via email, chat or phone call. We want you to be 100% delighted with your new ecommerce Shopify site!

There will be affiliate links here – it won’t cost you any more, but it does give us a small percentage of your purchase price, paid by the company your purchase from. Nothing extra out of your pocket!

 

Here are the steps we’ll be taking with you.

  • Signup for Shopify here. This is for a free trial. (At the time of this writing, Shopify was offering a 3 months trial period, but it could be one week or one month. It changes.). After your free trial has ended, you will be paying monthly for using Shopify’s ecommerce platform. ($29/month for a basic account). You will need: your address, phone number; Social Security number (if in the USA), your bank routing number and account number, and a credit/debit card. If you need help signing up, let me know. Please record your email and password used to sign up. We will need it to build your ecommerce site. Record it on the checklist you’ll receive when you hire us to build your ecommerce site.
  • Optional ($) You can purchase a domain name on the Shopify platform. <—-Check to see if it’s available.  It’s best to have a dot com address, and if you purchase through Shopify, it’s around $10 – $15/year. You don’t have to make that decision now. You can buy a domain name anytime.
  • Signup for PayPal here if you don’t already have an account. It is a popular option for your customers to pay. If your country does not offer the option of PayPal, don’t worry. Just skip this step. If you are going to signup for PayPal, you will need: your address, phone number; Social Security number (if in the USA), your bank routing number and account number, and a credit/debit card. If you need help signing up, let me know. Please record your email used to sign up. We will need it to build your ecommerce site. Record it on your checklist.
  • Pick a theme for your ecommerce site. There are plenty of really good free ones to get started. If you need help deciding, please get in touch with me and we can chat about what would work best for you at this time.  You can change your theme at any time.
  • Optional ($) You can purchase a premium theme.
  • Next, you’ll need to gather your products and photographs of your products and other graphic media you plan to use on your ecommerce site. How many products/photographs will depend on which package deal you purchase.  You will be sending your photographs to us via Wetransfer.  This keeps the files from losing quality when transferred, so be sure to send your best quality photographs.  Ideally one with a white background and one that shows your product in action (a lifestyle photograph).  Please send two photographs per product.  You can purchase (Optional $) more, but two photographs per product are included with your package.
  • We will be setting up your home page, collections, products, menus, blog, shipping rates and any other pages we’ve discussed setting up.
  • Applications (Apps/plugins) to run your shop will be added based on our initial discussion with you, but will include SEO, Aweber.
