Part 5: final edits and taking the Shopify store live

Part 5: final edits and launching the store Play video
9:03 Published July 2022 Watch on YouTube

With products in place, this part takes the store from draft to live. It covers the final adjustments to product page content, navigation and store policies, plus the practical checks that stop a launch going wrong, including placing a test order end to end.

It is also the last part before marketplaces enter the picture. From here on, the store holds the master data that Amazon, eBay and Etsy get fed from, so having it finished pays off.

What you will learn

  • What to finish before a store goes live, and what can wait.
  • How to test the full order path including Printify fulfilment.
  • Why the store should be complete before you create marketplace listings.
  • Which store content gets reused when marketplace listings are generated.

Steps shown in the video

  1. Review and finish the product pages.
  2. Set up navigation and the store's main pages.
  3. Add the required store policies.
  4. Run a test order through checkout and Printify.
  5. Remove the password page and take the store live.
