● Online Store: create a fully hosted website to sell anything (this article
focus on this option).

#2 Set up your domain address
● In Shopify admin dashboard, choose Online Store >> Domains to set up a
domain for your store.
● If you have not already had a domain address, you can
○ basic domain for Shopify Stores (www.yourstore.myshopify.com),
○ buy the address that you like, suits your business’ industry, or is good
for SEO purpose from domain providers such as Bluehost or
Godaddy.

The next thing is to choose a theme. On Shopify Admin Dashboard, choose Online
Store >> Theme. Here you got 2 options:
● Customize your own theme.
● Choose a pre-designed template in Shopify Themes collection (which is more
suggested if you want to give your store a professional look, save time, and
have technical support from the theme developer team).
