Description

Shopify: Launch Your Store, Publish Your Catalogue and Take Online Payments

Launch a fully operational Shopify store with your catalogue, delivery options and payment methods

  • 1 day — 7 h
  • In-person or virtual
  • Foundation
  • Up to 6 participants

Selling online often stalls in the first few hours: which theme to choose, how to describe products, which delivery options to offer, how to take payments without VAT errors. Projects stay in draft for weeks simply because there is no clear set-up path.

One day to build a Shopify store end to end: store configuration, product pages, information pages, delivery and payment methods, then go-live and a first test order. Each participant works on their own trial store.

Learning objectives

  • Configure a Shopify store and customise its theme
  • Create product pages with variants and stock management
  • Set up delivery methods and shipping zones
  • Activate payment methods and verify a test order
  • Write the information pages buyers expect

What makes this programme different

Each participant publishes a trial store during the day
A test order is placed and tracked through to fulfilment
Product pages are reviewed as a group before publication
