How to Start a Shopify Crystal Store in [2023]

There are numerous reasons why you might want to start a crystal store on Shopify. The first is that Shopify has one of the best pricing models. It is easy to know how much you’re expected to pay for your Shopify account, payments and even app subscriptions.

Another reason is that Shopify has one of the best speeds. Loading speeds are very important. For every second that it takes for your website to load on a browser, you can lose 7% of your revenue. For the average eCommerce website, the loading times are about 8-11 seconds. That means some brands are losing more than 75% of their revenues to speed alone.

However, with Shopify, loading times can be as little as 3 seconds on average with some themes like Shoptimized and Booster loading in less than one second. There are also other alternatives to Shoptimized you can use.

Another advantage of Shopify over other platforms is that there is a good support system. Not only do you have access to Shopify technical teams, you also have access to Shopify developers who are very skilled and their costs can be very reasonable.

Starting a Shopify crystal store is very simple. The first thing that you need to do is to have a Shopify account. You can start with a 14-day free trial, which is perfect for those who want to take the time to build their website. However, it can also help you take orders, the average Shopify store takes about 14 days to get its first sale.

Then you need to connect your Shopify account with a domain name. This can be done with a third—party domain or you can use a domain that is bought through Shopify.

Once you’ve done this add in all the vital information to make your Shopify store work. This includes taxes, shipping and payment information. This takes just a few minutes.

Then you can start to design your store. Choose a theme, install it and start to customize your theme. This can include new text, images and video. You can spend lots of time on this part or you can use demos/templates that can be found on some themes.

Finally, you can start to upload products to your website. Remember to use the best product images of your website’s products. A good image can help you sell lots more products.
