Shopify

Shopify is a subscription-based software that allows anyone to set up an online store and sell their products. It powers millions of businesses worldwide. Unlike marketplaces like Amazon, Shopify lets you build your own brand with your own website.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How much does it cost?

Plans start around $29/month for the Basic plan. This includes hosting, the website builder, and payment processing tools.

2. Do I need to know coding?

No. Shopify uses a drag-and-drop builder with professionally designed themes, so you can build a beautiful store without writing a single line of code.

3. Can I do dropshipping?

Yes. Shopify integrates perfectly with dropshipping apps like DSers and Spocket, allowing you to sell products without ever holding inventory.

4. What are the transaction fees?

If you use 'Shopify Payments', there are no transaction fees (only standard credit card processing rates). If you use a 3rd party gateway like PayPal, Shopify charges an extra fee (0.5% - 2%).

5. How do I get paid?

Shopify Payments deposits your sales earnings directly into your bank account. Payout schedules vary by country but are typically every few days.
