Find the best Shopify theme for your store
As we mentioned earlier, there is a wide range of topics to choose from for your Shopify store. While premium issues can cost up to $ 500 (around £ 400), there are many free issues to choose from.
Think about the general style and target audience of your brand. And if you can, try to find one that is consistent with its visual content on social networks.
You do not necessarily need to spend a fortune to get an elegant. Only a simple (and free) design can be enough to take off your new store.
Get Shopify applications to improve your store
Screen capture: Shopify
There are so many applications available for Shopify members. Some are general, but others are specifically designed for the platform.
For example, there is an application with a free plan called Instagoed. It is built for Shopify, and allows you to add Instagram content to your online store, with your products labeled in publications.
Instagram’s reels and photos will not only look great, but will also lead more people to their social channels and increase the social test of their business. In case it is not familiar with the social test, it is a concept that suggests that people are more likely to trust and interact with brands that already have a audience.
Another example of a Shopify application is vital. It has a free test for up to 30 days, but it costs $ 29.99+ (around £ 24) per month after that. The application aims to increase conversions in several ways, such as helping you get more records for your newsletter with emerging windows.
Consider dropshipping through Shopify
Fighting to find storage space for your products? The dropshipp could be a good solution.
Essentially, Dropshipping is a order compliance method that implies the outsourcing of administration and the sending of products. This means that you, as owner of the store, do not need to store any of the stock yourself, handle everything for a third party.
The extent to which the dropshipper manages the process varies according to their agreement with them. They may be in charge of storage and shipping, or could go beyond that to handle things like taking actions.
Make some sums to find out if dropshipping costs make it worth administering your Shopify store. Particularly when you are starting for the first time, you may find the stock yourself to maximize your profits.
Improve your Shopify SEO
SEO (search engines optimization) is a vital skill for anyone with an online business.
When their web pages are highly classified in the relevant keywords on Google or Bing, people looking for those phrases will meet their site. And, of course, the more visitors have in your online store, the more sales you can do, so SEO is very valuable.
Shopify automatically handles some aspects of the technical SEO, such as adding canonical labels generated automatically to their pages (to avoid duplicate content problems), as well as add title labels to the topics to include the name of your store.
But, although technical SEO is generally related to the posterior end of a website, there are also things that can be done at the front end of the site to improve its classification.
In particular, the key objective in your copy. With this, we do not refer to excessively use certain words or phrases, this is not useful. Instead, think about what people will look for when looking for keywords and focus on creating content that answers your questions.
Again, read Shopify’s advice to optimize your product listings at the beginning of your store.
You can also use SEO tools to improve your keyword research and competition analysis. Semrush is a good example, and they offer a free test for students.
Also, if you haven’t done it yet, read Google SEO Start Guide.
Optimize your POS system with Shopify
The point of sale (POS) is a crucial aspect of any electronic commerce business. If the payment is too slow, or if unnecessary problems arise, that may be the difference between a sale that passes or not.
An easy and easy payment can also encourage buyers to return to their online store again in the future.
In Shopify, you can customize your post using applications to improve the process, and your customer service is there if you need help with something.
Join Shopify Collabs
Shopify Collabs is an application that simplifies the process of finding influential people and creators of content to work.
Influencers marketing can be an incredibly powerful way to boost sales and increase their online presence. If it is an approach that you would like to try, it is worth investigating this application.
As owner of the store, you can promote your products to the network, and then the creators can request to work with you. The application also helps you monitor items equipped, offers of affiliates and commission payments.
You can download the application for free, but there is a commission processing rate of 2.9% in automatic payments.
While this application has some excellent features, reviews are mixed. At the time of writing, the general qualification in Shopify App Store is 3.3/5. However, about 40% of the grades are five stars, so there are still a good number of positive reviews.
Take time to read the reviews before obtaining the application to decide if it is suitable for you.
Join the Shopify Affiliate Program
Do you know other entrepreneurs who could be interested in starting a Shopify store? If he becomes a affiliated partner of Shopify, he has the opportunity to win a commission every time someone who has referred to becomes a merchant on the platform.
You must request to join the affiliate program on the Shopify website.

Become a Shopify partner
If you want to look beyond your own Shopify store, you could become a partner and work with other business leaders to help them develop.
There are some ways to work as a Shopify partner, such as:
- Create an application – Did you see a gap in the market? Start your own Shopify application that will help improve processes and save time for other merchants.
- Become a Shopify consultant – If you have created a successful online store yourself, you will be in an excellent position to advise others about your commercial electronic commerce strategy.
- See new merchants to Shopify – Once the Shopify Partner program has joined, you can obtain a 20% commission on the merchant subscriber rates presented to the platform.
Expand your store with Shopify Plus
For large -scale online stores, Shopify Plus can be an excellent way to grow your business.
Do you remember before when we gave the examples of Gymshark and Kylie Cosmetics as stores that have used the platform? Shopify Plus is the side of the platform aimed at huge electronic commerce sites like these.
If you are just beginning with electronic commerce, this Council will not apply to you … yet. But we would never prevent you from pointing to great.
For anyone with dreams of creating an international online store, Shopify could be a good platform for you throughout the trip to cultivate your brand.
As expected, it is expensive. Prices start at $ 2,300/month (around £ 1,835) within three years.
It is probably worth starting with a basic plan and updating when your business takes off.
Who knows, in a few years we could be mentioning their store along with Gymshark and Kylie Cosmetics as an example of a super successful business in Shopify.
