      @johncedricksantos4419 7 месяцев назад

      I will try to make it simpler so if you are familiar with Amazon you will visit their site then look for things right? but those products are from different sellers but you are searching in Amazon so to relate it to Shopify
      You are the owner of the Amazon website and whatever they search on that website is all your products and not from other sellers.
      Shopify helps you build your online store/website without needing you to study about web development so you don't need to study programming and coding to build your online store however the advertising part and marketing is all depends on you, shopify just helps you establish your online store without them being the forefront unlike Amazon where they sell their products under their name.

    • @MerchantMaverick
      @MerchantMaverick  9 месяцев назад

      Great question. It depends! Some merchants hold their own product inventory while others sell directly through a third-party supplier who takes care of the inventory, order fulfillment, and shipping. If you decide to go the dropshipping route, it's important to do your research when choosing a vendor since you don't have any say over quality control. Some popular suppliers you can partner with are AliExpress, Alibaba, and SaleHoo. To learn more about dropshipping, check out our video. We hope this helps!

      Hi there! Shopify makes it easy to sell digital products, though you'll have to download an app to do it. Shopify has a native Digital Downloads app that is free and easy to use, or you can choose a third-party app if you find one you like better.

      Hey there! If you want to sell your own original products, you can set up a traditional online store through Shopify. Or you can look into dropshipping where you will need to partner with a supplier (AliExpress, Alibaba, and SaleHoo). From there you'll be able to choose what items you want to make available in your store from their inventory and they'll ship the products to your customers for you! We hope this helps. Best of luck! 😊

      @MerchantMaverick  2 года назад

      Hi Chees Box!
      Shopify is a software as a service (SaaS) eCommerce platform that allows you to build your own online store. Or, you can use Shopify's software to add online shopping and checkout functions to an existing website or social media account.
      You get customers by listing your products on your online store, advertising your digital or physical products or services online, and then using Shopify's checkout functions to let visitors purchase items from your website.
      Shopify does not directly advertise for you, but you can connect your Shopify inventory with your business's social media accounts. Then, people can shop through your social media posts.
      The Shopify App Store has apps specifically made to connect your social media to your store. You can access advertising apps for Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and other social media platforms beginning with the Shopify Lite plan ($9/month.) You do not need a fully-built Shopify online store to advertise on social media.
      We hope that answers your question! Thanks so much for watching and posting!

      2. You can remove "Powered by Shopify" from your store through the Shopify admin.

    Where do the products come from once you start your store . That's my question

    • @MerchantMaverick
      @MerchantMaverick  11 месяцев назад

      Hi, Jon! For dropshipping you will need to partner with a supplier which you can research but some of the most popular ones are AliExpress, Alibaba, and SaleHoo. You will be able to choose what items you want to make available in your store from their inventory. If you want to sell your own original products, you can set up a traditional online store through Shopify. Best of luck!

    You don't explain "how it works", you explain how you as a user can navigate and operate its features. I'm specifically looking for information on how Shopify actually functions, how it produces products and how the system works between myself and the website.
    I'm confused because I can "create a product" with nothing but an image file, say whatever I want in the description of the product, and somehow that becomes a product someone can buy.
    How does Shopify function?

I’m confused pls contact me 🙏

    • @MerchantMaverick
      @MerchantMaverick  10 месяцев назад

      Hey, Victor! If you are selling goods that are available to be dropshipped, then yes, you can cut out part where the item is shipped to you first. That will depend on what you're selling and if there are dropshippers available. You can watch this video: ruclips.net/video/C5CdlxOzTPs/видео.html. Hope this helps. Best of luck!

    • @MerchantMaverick
      @MerchantMaverick  3 года назад +5

      Hi Cory! Shopify automatically assigns you a domain that will read YourStoreName.myshopify.com. Although that will technically work, you’re going to want to link to a different domain name, if you have one already, or purchase a domain name that omits the “myshopify.com” element to create a more professional-looking URL.

    As a millennial I have been a victim of gig economy, I can print Vinyl clothing merchandise, and make homemade chutneys and pickles, and also photography.
    I have a square space website for several months, no luck whatso ever. I am confused. Should I focus on ebay, amazon or shopify? Please help. I am more in to creating stuff, but horrible at marketing or selling.
    Advise Please, I am based in Australia.

    • @MerchantMaverick
      @MerchantMaverick  2 года назад

      Hey Open Canvas! Each of your different gigs takes a different approach and it would probably be best to put major effort into making one successful at a time. However, if your intention is to keep all three lines going, Shopify is definitely the best bet. Shopify offers great integrations with print-on-demand services that might make the clothing line easier, via dropshipping. Homemade food items would not be allowed on Amazon for sure and are also unlikely to be allowed on eBay either. However, if you want to sell things in person (food items at farmers markets, for example, or take payment for a photography session) then Square might be a good way to go, because of its strong POS. It just depends on how you want to develop your business! We wish you much success in whatever do you do!

      Hi Dana!
      To answer your question, Shopify isn't itself a shop, but it is a platform where people can sign up and add inventory to their dashboard. You can set up a site or start sharing a link/sell on social media from there as well. Many online shops are using Shopify, but you won't see that from the consumer side of things.
      Here is a list of shops that use Shopify. You can see that they use their own brand name and logo, so you'd never know they used Shopify on the backend: www.shopify.com/blog/shopify-stores
