Conclusion
That’s all there is to it! By following these simple steps, you can easily enable sales on your Shopify store so that you can start selling products or services online.
First and foremost, please be aware that Shopify is a platform for online stores, and as such, all transactions are processed through the Shopify platform. This means that your personal and financial information will be stored on Shopify’s servers, and you will be responsible for keeping this information safe and secure.
Secondly, please be aware that when you enable sales on Shopify, you are responsible for all aspects of the sale, including processing payments, shipping products, and customer service. If you are not prepared to handle these responsibilities, it is best to not enable sales on Shopify.
Lastly, please be aware that enabling sales on Shopify will require you to pay Shopify’s fees. These fees can vary depending on the plan you choose, but they are typically 2-3% of the total sale price.
