Before we dive into setting up your project, let's do a quick overview of Shopify and its key areas. If you're a freelancer, agency, or simply manage multiple stores for clients, we recommend creating a Shopify partner account. With a partner account, you can manage all your stores from a single login and of course, test Smooify for free by creating a development store.
Just click the "Join" button to create an account or log in if you already have one.
Once logged into your Shopify partner account, to start a new store, click the "Add store" button in the top right corner and then create a development store. On this new screen, you'll choose whether to create a store for a client, your own store, or simply a testing store to try out the Smooify app and all its features.
Add all the store details: name, location, whether it's an online-only or physical store. Once you've added all the details, just click the green "Create development store" button.
After clicking, you'll be redirected to your store's dashboard. The Shopify dashboard is very simple to use and is divided into two main areas:
- The settings section contains a series of sections related to your business: general data, subscription plans, payment systems, taxation, markets, domain management, and much more.
- The top left part of the dashboard contains all the menu items related to online sales, such as:
- Orders
- Products (where you can create individual product sheets with variants, options, meta fields, and much more)
- Customers
- Content
- Analytics (for monitoring all your store data)
- Marketing (for creating personalized campaigns)
Remember, with Shopify's email app, you have up to 10,000 free email sends per month. You can also configure all automations like abandoned checkouts, manage discounts and gift cards, connect your social media, and much, much more.
