This tutorial is so good, thank you. Quick question, how did you add those icons in the FAQ part? It looks really nice!

[@Shopify-Success]

Hey there, you're welcome! Under the 'collapsible content' section I added at 26:15 in the video, you need to click on 'collapsible row'. Now, on the right side, there will be an icon dropdown menu where you have many different icons to choose from. I'm glad you liked it! If you have any other questions, feel free to let me know :)

[@francescafronczak]

Awesome video, Julia! I just have one question, do I need to add the search bar for my store or is that there automatically? 😄

[@Shopify-Success]

Hey, thank you! To have a search bar, you need to install a free Shopify app called 'Shopify search and discovery'. To install the app through the Shopify App Store, here are step-by-step instructions: 1. Log in to the Shopify App Store 2. Find the app that you want to install, in this case 'Shopify search and discovery' and then click it 3. On the app listing page, click 'Add app' 4. In your Shopify admin, to authorize the use of the app, click 'Install app' Hope this helps! If you have any other questions, feel free to let me know :)

[@harrietg3446]

When I click on my collection, I expect products from that collection to appear but it doesn’t. It only shows all the multi rows I created. How do I please fix this

[@Shopify-Success]

Hey, just to clarify, are you inside the theme editor?

[@LeoBaumgartneu]

Could you give tips on how to avoid cart abandonment?

[@Shopify-Success]

Hey there! To minimize cart abandonment in your online store, you can: 1. Make the checkout process and simple and user-friendly as possible. Minimize the number of steps required to complete a purchase and avoid asking for unnecessary information. You can add guest checkout, so customers can buy without creating an account. 2. Display clear shipping costs upfront and consider offering free shipping to incentivize purchases 3. Provide multiple payment options to cater to different customer preferences. Include popular methods such as credit/debit cards, PayPal and popular digital wallets like Apple Pay and Google Pay 4. You can use Exit-Intent Popups offering discounts or incentives to capture the attention of customers who are about to abandon their cart. 5. Provide clear return and refund policies 6. Use high-quality images and provide multiple angles of your products. Clear and detailed images help customers make informed purchase decision and reduce cart-abandonment Hope this helps! If you have any other questions, feel free to let me know :)

[@JohannesStrassei]

What else can we use the collapsible content feature for apart from FAQ’s?

[@Shopify-Success]

Hey there! Aside from FAQ's, you can use the collapsible content section to showcase size guides, unique product features, assembly instructions, and any other relevant information that you want to present in an organized way and engaging way! If you have any other questions, feel free to let me know :)

[@browersport3131]

I used your video to set up my shop...Thank you 😎 Collecting emails is important to building ones own business. What email collecting app do you suggest or use? Thanks again....

[@Shopify-Success]

Hey, congratulations on setting up your store! Yes, definitely, collecting emails is crucial for collecting leads and building your business. You can use Shopify built-in marketing tools for this purpose, you can create landing pages with lead capture forms. It's very effective Other good options for capturing emails are Mailchimp or Omnisend. If you have any other questions, feel free to let me know :)

Hey! I'm glad you liked video and thanks for watching!

[@misterKavon]

do you recommend investing in paid templates? Or are the free ones good to go?

[@Shopify-Success]

Hey! It's not necessary to invest in a paid theme, as there are many highly successful Shopify stores created using free themes- they're excellent! My personal favorites are Dawn, Senses and Refresh. I'd recommend going with a paid theme if the aesthetic and functionality align with what you're seeking for your specific store. If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask :) Thanks for watching!

Hello, can you tell a better workaorun for the Payment Process? I mean whn i get Order and Payment in shopify, is there a way to automatic Fill up my Prinitfy WAllet? Thank you

[@Shopify-Success]

Hey there! As Printify and Shopify are linked, when you receive an order, Printify automatically charges your linked credit card or uses your Printify balance if you've topped it up beforehand. Here are step-by-step instructions for adding debit/credit card to your Printify wallet: 1. Go to Wallet section in your Printify account > Payments 2. Choose Add credit/debit card 3. Enter your card details 4. Click on Add card If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out :)

Does it cost something on shopify for Export or Import products on shopify? because when im trying to do it it says a price on the bottom thats why i havent tried didnt wanted to do it in case it costs?

[@Shopify-Success]

Hey there! Exporting or importing products on Shopify doesn't cost anything if you do it directly through Shopify. The feature to import and export products using CSV files is included for free in all Shopify plans. However, if you're using a third-party app or service to handle the import or export process, there may be fees associated with those tools.

[@naqashshaikh2832]

for variants, how can we create a compared at price?

[@Shopify-Success]

Hey there! You need to click on the product variant. That will take you to another page with 'price' and 'compare-at price' settings for the variant you selected.

I'm following the tutorials but I'm having a little challenge with the creation of the logos

[@Shopify-Success]

Hey! Are you using Kittl? is pretty easy to use and they have templates. You can also get started for free, here's a link: kittl.pxf.io/createdesigns The key to logos is to keep it simple; don't try to overcomplicate it. If you have a budget, you can also consider paying someone to make a logo for you. You can try finding someone on Fiverr; that would be the cheapest option. I have also heard good things about 99designs.com.

[@ackeemfyffe3091]

One major question I have is, would I require a credit card or debit to purchase and ship the product to the customer or is it automatic? Does the money required to purchase and ship the product to the customer automatically taken out of the payment the customer made on your shopify store?

[@Shopify-Success]

Hey there! Yes, you would need a debit or credit card to pay your supplier so they can fulfill the order and ship it to your customer. Usually, with most suppliers, this process needs to be done manually, and you would need to pay for each order that comes in. If you'd like this process to be automatic, I'd recommend checking out Zendrop. Their platform is easy to use, and they have amazing products you could add to your store. If there's a specific product you want to sell that isn't on their platform, you can also submit a request, and their team in China will source it for you within 24 hours. I have an exclusive deal you can use to get $200 of free order credits! Here's a link to it: zendrop.sjv.io/shopify-success Regarding your second question, the money to purchase the product from your supplier will not be taken from the customer's payment; there will be two separate transactions. This is how it works: Once a customer places an order on your Shopify store, you will receive the full retail price from the customer via whatever payment gateway you set up inside Shopify. So from the price you set in your store, you will receive everything. Then, in your supplier's platform, you will be charged separately only for the product supply and shipping. The profit will be left in your bank account once both transactions are completed. Hope this clarifies things! If you have any other questions, feel free to let me know :)

I dont have any social media following. Am I going to be able to do shopify?

[@Shopify-Success]

Hey there, absolutely! you can still succeed with Shopify even if you don't have any social media following. Here are a few strategies to help you get started: You can use social media platforms like TikTok, Facebook, Instagram to run targeted ads. These platforms allow you to reach specific audiences based on demographics, interests and behaviors, helping you to drive traffic to your store without an existing following. Here's a video on how to run TikTok ads for beginners: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3rUkIqPp5ytrs0 You can also optimize for SEO using relevant keywords across all your product titles, descriptions to improve your store's visibility in search engines results like Google. This method is completely free and if done correctly, it will drive organic traffic to your store. I actually have a SEO course in the making, you can get notified when the course is out here: www.digitalsuccessjourney.com/signup Another option is to partner with influencers in your niche to promote your products, so even if you don't have a following, influencers can help you reach their established audiences.

Hey there! Technically just $1, you can get Shopify for $1 for the first month. Here's the best current deal: bit.ly/3UEPjW8 After that, the subscription will depend on the plan you choose, averaging from $5 to $25. If you're dropshipping, you also won't need to invest any money in inventory, so you would only need a small amount of money in your bank account, like for example, $30 to pay for the supply of the product when an order comes in. Here's a video on how to set up a one-product Shopify store with dropshipping: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHa6mpaMmKeVm68
