Laying the Groundwork

Before diving in, pause to map out your mission. What’s your game plan—selling online, in-person, or both? Dreaming of showcasing your goods on platforms like Facebook? Pinpointing your focus now sets the pace for a swift setup. Pricing plans can wait until your trial’s done, so no rush there.

• Chat with local gurus about taxes and rules impacting your gig.
• Got an existing web shop? Think about shifting it to MerchFoxShop.
• Pick the sales paths you’ll explore.
• Mull over which plan fuels your vision.

Constructing Your Digital Shop

Before piling in products, lay the foundation with your details and shop basics. Establish how your items and customer buys will roll, and snag a web address so folks can drop by.

• Hop into your account.
• Shield your shop with a temporary lock.
• Pin your business on the map.
• Plug in payment info.
• Settle on a currency for deals.
• Choose a weight standard for your listings.

• Tackle your tax setup.
• Hook up payment options.
• Rally a crew if you need backup.
• Lock down your web spot.

Shaping Your Store’s Flow

Your shop’s vibe and offerings are its beating heart. Play with designs to nail your brand’s feel, then stock it with goodies. Curating your catalog might eat up some hours—especially with a big lineup—so carve out time to sort items, bundle them smartly, and tie in taxes and shipping.

• Deck out your site with a killer look.
• Mold the design to fit your flair.
• Load up your wares.
• Cluster products into neat sets.
• Map out your site’s pathways.

Before the big reveal, run a few dry runs to iron out the buying experience.

• Play through flawless and bumpy purchases.
• Try reversing or scrapping orders.
• Practice shipping out full or half orders.
• Stash away finished deals to see the flow.
• Get savvy with MerchFoxShop’s scam-spotting features.

• Shout about your shop far and wide.
• Sketch out a promo playbook.
• Fire off a welcome blast with MerchFox Email.
