Some tips for setting up the online shop
Firstly, product photos imported from your Instagram page are handy. This simplifies the build and therefore keeps costs down. Secondly, a selective list of products and prices speed up the inventory catalogue. For example, import a spreadsheet to populate your shopping site. The same process will let you update the catalogue.
Shopify is very flexible.
Once the catalogue is finished, delivery options are then added. For example, “pickup” or “delivery” can be selected. In addition, you can control when the site goes live. The on line store automatically closes after business hours. This prevents customers from placing orders out of hours. There is an option to restrict orders by location.
Even more, there are options for coupons and discounts. The easy to use back end tracks the orders.
And finally, the app will notify the owner when an order arrives. Customers are notified when their order is ready.
Intuitive by design, site owners require little instruction to begin. Sit back and watch the orders come in.
