      I will try to make it simpler so if you are familiar with Amazon you will visit their site then look for things right? but those products are from different sellers but you are searching in Amazon so to relate it to Shopify
      You are the owner of the Amazon website and whatever they search on that website is all your products and not from other sellers.
      Shopify helps you build your online store/website without needing you to study about web development so you don't need to study programming and coding to build your online store however the advertising part and marketing is all depends on you, shopify just helps you establish your online store without them being the forefront unlike Amazon where they sell their products under their name.

    • @MerchantMaverick
      @MerchantMaverick  11 місяців тому

      Hey there! If you want to sell your own original products, you can set up a traditional online store through Shopify. Or you can look into dropshipping where you will need to partner with a supplier (AliExpress, Alibaba, and SaleHoo). From there you'll be able to choose what items you want to make available in your store from their inventory and they'll ship the products to your customers for you! We hope this helps. Best of luck! 😊

    • @MerchantMaverick
      @MerchantMaverick  2 роки тому

      Hi Chees Box!
      Shopify is a software as a service (SaaS) eCommerce platform that allows you to build your own online store. Or, you can use Shopify's software to add online shopping and checkout functions to an existing website or social media account.
      You get customers by listing your products on your online store, advertising your digital or physical products or services online, and then using Shopify's checkout functions to let visitors purchase items from your website.
      Shopify does not directly advertise for you, but you can connect your Shopify inventory with your business's social media accounts. Then, people can shop through your social media posts.
      The Shopify App Store has apps specifically made to connect your social media to your store. You can access advertising apps for Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and other social media platforms beginning with the Shopify Lite plan ($9/month.) You do not need a fully-built Shopify online store to advertise on social media.
      We hope that answers your question! Thanks so much for watching and posting!

      Great question. It depends! Some merchants hold their own product inventory while others sell directly through a third-party supplier who takes care of the inventory, order fulfillment, and shipping. If you decide to go the dropshipping route, it's important to do your research when choosing a vendor since you don't have any say over quality control. Some popular suppliers you can partner with are AliExpress, Alibaba, and SaleHoo. To learn more about dropshipping, check out our video. We hope this helps!

      1. Yes, you use Shopify's software to build a new website. It is possible to use a custom URL, if you have an existing website and want to maintain your audience.
      2. You can remove "Powered by Shopify" from your store through the Shopify admin. From Shopify Help Center: From your Shopify admin, go to Online Store > Themes and choose the theme you want to edit and click Actions > Edit languages. ... In the Powered by Shopify HTML box, use the space bar on your keyboard to type a single space. help.shopify.com/en/manual/online-store/themes/remove-powered-by-shopify-message
      Hope that helps!

      Yes, you can! According to Shopify, you can actually use their app called Shopcode which allows you to generate QR codes for your products that you can then add to your Shopify store.

      Hi Cory! Shopify automatically assigns you a domain that will read YourStoreName.myshopify.com. Although that will technically work, you’re going to want to link to a different domain name, if you have one already, or purchase a domain name that omits the “myshopify.com” element to create a more professional-looking URL.

    • @MerchantMaverick
      @MerchantMaverick  2 роки тому

      Hi Ilena,
      Our understanding is that Disney is VERY aggressive in protecting its brand and characters, even from seemingly minuscule threats. Here is a helpful article we found on Disney copyrights: info.legalzoom.com/article/legal-use-of-the-disney-characters
      Key takeaways: "There are two areas where characters could potentially be used without a license. First, expired copyrights can generally be used after expiration. For instance, the copyright on Mickey Mouse expires in 2024. Secondly, you can use protected material as inspiration for your own clearly different creation (called transformative use-it must be clearly different and cannot appear to be a copy or representation)."
      So, ultimately, unless you're selling under those narrow allowances, you could be looking at legal threats. Hope that helps!

      Hi, Jon! For dropshipping you will need to partner with a supplier which you can research but some of the most popular ones are AliExpress, Alibaba, and SaleHoo. You will be able to choose what items you want to make available in your store from their inventory. If you want to sell your own original products, you can set up a traditional online store through Shopify. Best of luck!

    Is it a store, Or is it a place to create a website? How does it get you customers? Does it post ads for your store on Facebook, Instagram, tiktok for you. Is any of that included in their subscriptions? Do you have legal domain over your website if you cancel your subscription? So many more questions

    • @MerchantMaverick
      @MerchantMaverick  2 роки тому

      Hi Keith! That's a lot to unpack, so we will do our best to get your questions answered!
      Shopify is a software as a service (SaaS) eCommerce platform that allows you to build your own online store. Or, you can use Shopify's software to add online shopping and checkout functions to an existing website or social media account.
      You get customers by listing your products on your online store, advertising your digital or physical products or services online, and then using Shopify's checkout functions to let visitors purchase items from your website.
      Shopify does not directly advertise for you, but you can connect your Shopify inventory with your business's social media accounts. Then, people can shop through your social media posts.
      The Shopify App Store has apps specifically made to connect your social media to your store. You can access advertising apps for Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and other social media platforms beginning with the Shopify Lite plan ($9/month.) You do not need a fully-built Shopify online store to advertise on social media.
      If you purchase a domain through Shopify but would like to cancel your subscription, you may move it to a third-party domain registrar at any time. Just be sure to transfer your domain before canceling your subscription!
      Hope that covers everything! Thanks so much for stopping by and posting your question here!

    • @MerchantMaverick
      @MerchantMaverick  2 роки тому

      Hey there! Yes, we encourage you to link your store to all your channels. If you already have a presence on or sell through eBay, Amazon, Instagram, Facebook, Google Shopping or Pinterest, you can download an app that lets you link it to your Shopify store. But we highly recommend that you focus on SEO! It will be your bread and butter for driving traffic to your store! Setting up Google Search Console is a great way to start improving your SEO performance and drawing more customers to your Shopify store. For more tips, check out our article!

    • @MerchantMaverick
      @MerchantMaverick  2 роки тому

      Hey Open Canvas! Each of your different gigs takes a different approach and it would probably be best to put major effort into making one successful at a time. However, if your intention is to keep all three lines going, Shopify is definitely the best bet. Shopify offers great integrations with print-on-demand services that might make the clothing line easier, via dropshipping. Homemade food items would not be allowed on Amazon for sure and are also unlikely to be allowed on eBay either. However, if you want to sell things in person (food items at farmers markets, for example, or take payment for a photography session) then Square might be a good way to go, because of its strong POS. It just depends on how you want to develop your business! We wish you much success in whatever do you do!

      Hi M4nu_KZ! You can add a product to your Shopify store without sending it to anyone. If you are working with a dropshipping partner, the partner will send products directly to your customers once they place orders. But, if you're working with a fulfillment service, like Shopify Fulfillment Network, you will need to send products to your fulfillment warehouse so they can fill customers' orders once they start to order products from your Shopify store.

      Hi aquarels! If you purchase a domain through Shopify, and later decide to cancel your subscription, you are welcome to move it to a third-party domain registrar at any time. Just be sure to transfer your domain BEFORE canceling your subscription.
      If you decide to transfer your domain, you'll have to do so within 30 days of initiating the transfer process.
      Note: If your new domain registrar does not meet Shopify's domain security standards, users will see an error message in their browser saying that the site is not trusted or that the certificate is not valid for 90 days after you transfer. To avoid this, be sure to choose a domain platform that supports HTTPS.
