How do I edit my store before I start selling?

A checklist for reviewing your new store in Shopify: products, prices, sample content, policies and payments.

Written by Rochelle

Your new store is ready to sell from, but it's still a starting point. Some of its text was written with the help of AI, and as the seller, you're responsible for what it says. Spend a few minutes in your Shopify admin checking everything before you open your store to shoppers.

Pre-launch checklist: products, prices, sample content, store pages, policies, payments, shipping and theme look

Your pre-launch checklist

  • Products — open Products in Shopify. Check each title, description and photo, and remove anything you don't want to sell.

  • Prices — make sure your prices cover the product cost, shipping and your margin. Supplier prices can change.

  • Sample content — remove or replace anything that isn't true for your business, such as example reviews, ratings, discounts, or shipping and return promises.

  • Store name and pages — check your homepage and About page, and update the text so it sounds like you.

  • Policies — set your refund, shipping and privacy policies under Settings > Policies.

  • Payments — set up how you get paid under Settings > Payments.

  • Shipping — check your shipping rates under Settings > Shipping and delivery.

Changing your theme's look

In Shopify, go to Online Store > Themes and click Customize. You can change text, images, colors and sections without any code.

Adding more products

Open the AI Dropship app in your Shopify admin to browse its catalog and add more products. See Where do the products in my storebuilder.ai store come from?
