The Only Shopify Dropshipping Guide You'll Need [For Beginners]

[Music], so i'm pretty sure i know why you're here. well, at least while you clicked on this video, we both are probably looking for new ways to create sustainable passive income where you can work anywhere you want- the world or the comfort of your home, like i'm doing right now. well, lucky for you. what i'm about to fully explain this video from start to finish, is exactly that. drop shipping, if you don't know, is basically just a logistiks model where you need little to no money up front. you don't need any master marketing skills, no prior coding experience, nothing like that. it only requires one thing: a little bit of time, hard work and dedication. no, seriously, anyone can do it. i've seen 16 year olds succeed. i've seen 60 year olds succeed. the only thing that i've seen personally that separates the winners from the failures is that the winners didn't quit. so most gurus and people online charge upwards of thousands of dollars for the information i'm about to share with you for free. in exchange for this heavily detailed free information, all i ask is that you leave a like, hit the subscribe button and leave a comment down below, and maybe even share this video to a friend that's looking for this type of tutorial. to get started, and you might be thinking: what makes me qualified to even teach this information? well, i've actually ran multiple six and seven figure online businesses over the span of three plus years, and i pretty much post about my results every single day on tiktok and youtube. this also reminds me. as usual, i'm doing another giveaway, and in this giveaway, i'm gonna be giving away a free consulting call with me, one on one, and all you have to do to enter is do the exact same thing i just told you to, which is leave a like, hit the subscribe button and then leave a comment down below. now there's a massive amount of detailed information in this video, so make sure that you're taking notes and following along, or you have a laptop open or another screen open side by side, and follow the exact steps that i'm doing now. with all that being said, let's jump right into the video. all right, the first thing that you want to be doing is you're going to go on shopifycom, obviously, so i like to use shopify. there's a bunch of different platforms out there, but this is the one i have the most uh experience with. all right, so you're going to want to take on that free trial. so it's 14 days free trial. you're gonna put in your email address here. i recommend putting in a business email address and keeping everything separate. uh, so we need a store name. so we're gonna center this store around the beauty and cosmetiks niche. it's something that i'm familiar with. the store name doesn't really matter at the moment, just because you're going to be adding a domain and when you link the domain, that's what's going to show up on the shopify account and also that's what's going to show up when people are going onto your website and they see the url. so for the store name here, let's put beauty and cosmetiks one, two, three. for the country or region, obviously, put whatever location that you're in on the go with the united states here. then you're gonna want to continue with email. this is where you're gonna link your email address and then also type in your password, so you're just setting up your account here. all right, so easy as that. now you're in the shopify dashboard. your account is already set up and ready to go. we're gonna be covering every single thing pretty much on the left side here, starting from completely from scratch. the first thing that we're going to want to do is going to go into the settings here and let's just run through all of these right? so the store details. you just have the basic information, the store name, the address. you can put in your personal address here. but if you are running a business in multiple stores, i totally recommend you getting a virtual mailing address. it's like 10- 12 bucks a month and you can send all your business information and mail there. it's also not going to put your address out there where you actually live, so i highly recommend getting one of those. then you have the contact information. this is where you're going to enter your phone number, the email address and then the customers: uh, see this email. if you email them this one right here. you definitely want to have your business email address because you don't want customers seeing your personal. one store currency: i totally recommend using us dollars as the main form of currency, especially if you're selling mainly in the united states. editing the order id format: this is not needed, so you can just leave it as a prefix of the pound sign here. next section is going into your plan. shopify has a bunch of different plans, so if we click on this, you're gonna see the basic shopify. right now. that is 14.44 a month. you really don't need to go into the shopify or advanced shopify. that's only really helpful if you're looking to get more into the analytiks side of shopify with, like their finance reporting and all that stuff. but for now, just choose the basic plan. that's all you really need at the moment. now we'll go back into the settings, user and permissions. this is really just if you want to add staff account to your store. so if you have someone that's a partner like helping you work on the store, or if you need some developer to go into the store, you basically can make it so they can access the store and the developer theme, but they can't access any of the payments and stuff like that on the payments page. this is super important. you're going to want to activate the shopify payments. this is like the main processing method on most shopify stores and to do this all you have to do is enter your business details, your address. so for this portion, i would recommend using that virtual mailing address. it's going to keep it so much cleaner and it's going to give you more privacy from your personal home address as well. the other main payment method that i would recommend is paypal. it's very common. a lot of people check out with paypal just because all the information is already populated for them and they have the paypal like secure checkout and all that stuff, just in case something goes wrong with the order. they feel a little bit safer. you can add amazon pay if you want, or google pay, apple pay, all that stuff, but that typically comes with shopify payments. so you're not going to really need any other pm methods unless for some reason, you're selling a product that shopify does not agree with or support in their processing system. then you would have to add a third-party payment processor which costs a lot more than the shopify one for the checkout. let's go over some of these settings that i recommend changing. for the customer accounts i would use- do not use- accounts. um, i don't think that you need accounts unless you have, like, a subscription-based service, but if you're just selling typical econ products, you don't need to have people add accounts. it's just going to create another layer of friction and lowering your conversion rate overall. now for the customer contact method: i would recommend switching this to email rather than phone number or email, because if people just check out their phone number, they're not going to put in their email and they're not going to get a bunch of emails collected for email marketing. i'll leave this checked on here for show a link to download the shop app. this is going to help people track their orders and their shipments easier. it's going to leave you with a lot less customer service headaches. under the customer information, i would make sure that you require first and last name. this is super important because when you're placing orders- whether it's from aliexpress, spock at zen drop, wherever it may be- you need to have them have their first and last name, otherwise they won't send the package and you're not gonna be able to complete that order. so make sure that's checked off. company name: do not include. there's no point.

I've been Drop Shipping since 2017. I've generated millions of dollars with the business model, and so I know a thing or two about it. it's not like I just had my first hundred dollar day and I'm coming on here to make videos. it's not like that by any means. now there's also going to be a huge announcement at the end of the video. so make sure you stik around. it's going to be in an insane opportunity where you could potentially win thousands and thousands and even tens of thousands of dollars for simply just starting Drop Shipping and having a successful store. but I'll wait to explain that till the end of the video. so just stik around, take notes and then, by the end of the video, you're gonna have an insane opportunity on your hands that I think, is like one of its kind. so just sit tight and hang on, get a notepad ready, because we honestly have a ton of work to do, so let's get into it. first things first, we need to make a Shopify store, so I will have a link below. but this is essentially the backbone of your business and this is exactly where you'll be housing your website. so once you put an email in- I created a simple one that sounds very clever: subscribe to seb's channel. if you're watching this, subscribe might as well. I'm showing you, guys, how to start a Shopify business. so then, once you do that, just click Start your free trial, and then this will essentially take you through a ton of stuff that you don't honestly even need to do so. just click Skip, Skip and Skip. you don't even need to put a store name in. you can change it at any time, so it does not really matter. you will need to select your country, so select that I'm currently in us, and then for create a shopping ID. I just continue with Google and then select my email and then that's kind of it. your Shopify store is now being built and it's not like it's going to be completed, but you'll have the account now. so now you can actually lay the framework and start building out the store. I'll quickly go over, though how to actually set all this stuff up and how to use your Shopify store. so this is the home page. this is where you're going to start seeing all your orders and stuff. essentially, like, it's not going to show up right now because we haven't picked a plan and done anything, so it's going to try and like force us to do tons of stuff like add some apps, make products, do a name, customize the theme domain, all that stuff and tons of other good stuff. so that is the home page, but once you have this all set up, it will show you the orders you have today, the visits and stuff like that, and then orders. this is essentially once people place an order. this is where the info will go. and then, for the products tab, this is, if you guys want to guess, this is where all the products show up. so I'll show you guys exactly how to add products to your store and how to fulfill them, even like when you get orders in and your customers actually place an order and they show up here- how to Auto fulfill them. so you guys don't need to use AliExpress- ditch that old stuff, it doesn't work anymore. there's other, better ways to fulfill your orders with Shopify- and so I'll show you how to do all that stuff: how to add products. and then customers: finances analytiks is actually very important. this is going to show you sales sessions, returning customer rate, your conversion rate. so if 100 people land on your site and only one person buys, it will be a one percent conversion rate. it even breaks it down further and just tons of good stuff. so this is the backbone of your business. but, more importantly, what we need to do is go to apps. so what we're going to do is just type in what's called Zen drop. so type that in and this is going to be where you actually fulfill your orders and once customers Place orders, they are going to be the company that is helping you out with getting the product from their warehouse into the customer's hands automated. so there's a way to do it completely automated, where you literally don't even have to click, place order or fulfill order. they handle everything. we've done thousands of orders per day with zendrop. they are an amazing supplier and Company. I want have an affiliate link. I don't want to scare you guys off and think like Zen drops a scam and I'm just doing this video to help them out. I'm not at all. but for password, we will just put in, uh, something random and then let's do this. let's hope I remembered it. I think that's it for phone number. I'm gonna do a basic one. hopefully that works. we'll see a text message and then let's see if that works. yeah, cool, that works. so we're good to go. the accounts made. I didn't put my real phone number in, so don't try calling me. but once you get into the account, this is where the fun begins. so now you can just kind of surf around four cool products and see essentially what you want to sell. you can do this. there are tons of other ways to find products. now I kind of already know products that sell well, but if you guys want more in-depth details on product research and stuff, I will have a link below for a free Drop Shipping course. it's completely free. it took me a few weeks to film and I released it for free with one of my business partners, Sebastian Georgia. so again, the course is free. we're like giving you everything I do on a daily basis for the Drop Shipping business for free. so again, all the link below for that. like I did mention, I already know some products that are working well, so we can just do like. there are a few I'm seeing right now that do well. we can just kind of pick one of them. I always like to sell problem solving products, so we can just say: like this hot and cold gel therapy mask, it's a good product. I've seen it on tiktok a little bit, so we'll just click it and then essentially all you have to do to get the product from zendrop onto your website. you don't need to go on here and then go to products and create a product. it's nothing like that and this is completely ditching AliExpress. all you do is again add that app, click add to import list, go to import list and then right here, all you'll need to do is edit your description if you want to edit the variants. so one of the things you'll need to do is edit the sale price. for myself, I would want to have at least like a 3X markup, so we'll just say: nine dollars plus six dollars is going to be 15.. so we can sell this for 39.99. that's a decent enough margin- and then just plug that in for every single color- and I'm just copy and pasting it just to make my life easy- and then from there we're profiting to twenty five dollars per sale. so if we get 10 sales, we will be profiting 250 dollars. next, you need to select the photos. so make sure you are not selecting photos that look like they came from AliExpress or came from somewhere bad, because if you guys do that, it's gonna look scammy. I saw other videos where people were trying to show you guys how to make a website and the photos all look like this and like this and like this and like this and like this. that's not what actually works, and take this from someone who actually knows what they're.

I'm gonna do personal. um, Andy, you come. I apologize, it is in man, it's in Polish, okay, all right. so once you do that and create it, all right, let me translate this real quick. all right, there, we go next. uh, you don't need this, doesn't really matter for now.

I have this link right here. you can either go to shopifycom or I have a link below for an extended trout. uh, one dollar a month for three months, so that's pretty nice. we're gonna put in our email [Music]. it's Ecom store at gmailcom. start the free trial. all right, this doesn't really matter, we can just skip all these questions. so skip, skip. for here, the store name. this is optional. you can always change it later or, you know, once we connect our godaddy domain, that's going to be the URL link. so for now, just gonna name it Andy's e-commerce store. next, not in, I am in Poland, but I'm going to set this up for the US. yeah, it's gonna see that. so us, because that's where I live. it's already my taxes, okay, so we're gonna go ahead. continue with email. now we're gonna go ahead and set up a password that we can remember. create Shopify ID, all right. so here is our Shopify dashboard, and this is going to be the interface that we will be having to get used to. so the first thing I want to do, just so I can get this out of the way, is pick the plan, because it is a three-day trial, so it's just a buck. I'm gonna go ahead, choose this plan, put in my credit card information real quick. it's monthly, one dollar for three months. confirm the billing cycle. as you can see right here, it's only going to be zero dollars right now and then on the third day it's going to be one dollar and then one dollar for next three months. so I'm gonna go put this information in and then get back to you guys once it's all filled out. all right, so all I had to do was grab the Platinum, put it in and start the plan, and this is going to allow us to have a visible Shopify store from the get-go. now we're going to say anything about this, all right. so here is the Shopify interface. is the home page. now we have orders. this is where, if you ever get an order, it's going to populate right here. you can have access to the customer information: which order or which product that they ordered. drafts, abandoned checkouts: this is the products where we can go ahead and add all the list of products we've got: inventory transfers, collections, gift cards, customers: this is going to be everyone that has purchased or even abandoned cart is going to be put into here. all right, so the finance is going to show us our billing cycle payouts, everything regarding our payments. next, analytiks is going to give us a basic understanding of everyone that has visited our website: any orders returning, customer rate, average order value, conversion rate. so this is a very important dashboard right here, but I'll see the live live view and then reports. marketing: we're gonna have all of our marketing channels right here. discounts is where we can create custom discount codes. if I want to go ahead and create a 100 off discount code for myself, I can do that. if I want to create a Black Friday discount code, we can all create it right here. we can have access to the analytiks from there. online store: this is we're going to be able to edit our store. we're gonna have access to the themes right here: blog posts, Pages where we can, you know, set up our shipping policies and whatnot. navigation preferences: we can set up our pixels. so that's it for pretty much the main part of it. and then we have settings where we can see our plan, user permissions, payments, check out shipping and delivery, taxes, all that good stuff. but the first thing that we want to do right now is go to apps and then import our first product. so this is going to be very important. we're going to be searching for zendrop On the App Store, all right. so we're going to type in Zen drop. this is going to allow us to import products from AliExpress, so we're going to go to send drop. we're going to download this app, add the app. all right, so we're gonna go over here and install the app. it's just going to take a couple seconds, all right. so we're going to go ahead and create account. now just set up your password. set up your password, what's up? sign up, all right. so here is the dashboard. right here. we can go ahead and search for various products. you can have your import list right here. so any product that you go and press import, go to import list and you can import it from zendrop to your Shopify store, as long as it's linked, as you can see. we can scroll down here, see various products, but the product that I'm searching for isn't going to be available on this dashboard. I can go right here and check it out so we can go type in. I wanted to sell this uh Samurai umbrella, so this is my example product and I can't find it anywhere here. so I'm just gonna go click this import from AliExpress, the link, copy, paste, link import and it's going to populate onto my import list. alright, so now it's going to direct us to the import list and here we can edit what we want to bring into Shopify. I'm going to exit right here, I'm gonna name this umbrella and then we'll say block. okay, so the description. I don't want any of this stuff because it's not useful, it's not insightful and people are going to notike quite quickly that it's a Drop Shipping Store if they see that in the description. it's pretty obvious and for now I'm going to stik with let's see. per unit. let me go ahead and check real quick. it was the 24K was 17, 15.. so I'm probably going to want to sell this unit which is going to be advertised in the videos. it's the highest quality o.

so this is how you're gonna do it: we're gonna go to online store. we're gonna hit themes and then we're gonna scroll down to the visit shopify theme store. okay, so from there we're gonna go and search dawn, and here it is. this is dawn, a brand spanking new theme that literally just dropped last year, and it is free, which i love. and, guys, you see these other free theme options here. we've got crave, we've got craft, this one's called sense, which i love. this is taste and studio, and these are all brand new themes i just dropped and they are so sick. i love all of these. so if you're not love and dawn, you have other options, and they're really just designed to help you get started more quickly and get you up and running in a pinch. so when you create your online store with shopify, you can choose between free themes and premium themes, and the free ones that we just looked at are great, but here are some really amazing premium themes as well. uh, these are going to be paid right, so this one is drop, this is bullet, and this is be yours. these are beautiful, gorgeous themes. um, there's also other themes to choose from, other than the ones that i've just toked about, but let's say you're, you know, go.

easiest thing for you to do is to convince yourself that the business model is too competitive, saturated or dead and not give it the fair shot that it deserves. and that is exactly why i created this video right here: to break down an easy, step-by-step guide into this brand new business model and take your first few steps into the online world of creating a business that is passive, sustainable and can generate you income for years to come from the comfort of your own home and look, i get it. why should you listen to me over some other 21 year old kid making videos in front of his laptop at home? my answer to that is: over the past three years, i've generated over seven million dollars in online sales with e-commerce, created a life of financial freedom and generational wealth for myself through the skills that i've built up, all starting with drop shipping, and my goal is to provide you with real no information with the utmost transparency, without trying to shove a paid video course right down your throat. so i just want to say thank you so much for clicking on this video and congratulations for taking your first few steps into the crazy world of making money online. but, most importantly, grab a pen and paper as you watch this video, because at the end of this video, it'll be time for you to take some serious action and i want you to be prepared. so strap in, clear out a little workspace for yourself and go ahead and smash that like button so i can help impact more people with this real no guide to getting started with drop shipping in 2022.. and just before we jump into the value of this video, i do want to announce the weekly giveaway. remember. all you have to do is go ahead and smash that like button, comment something insightful down below and make sure you subscribe to the channel. the winner will be announced for a custom built drop shipping store built by me and my team, and outright ecom in my next week's video. let's get straight into this, all right. so first things first, load up your computer, go over to google and type in shopifycom or hit the link in my description. if you guys want an extended free trial, click on shopify and click start free trial. go ahead and type in your email and create a password- i recommend creating a brand new gmail account, as it is easier to keep all your business stuff in one place instead of cluttering it in with your personal emails- and create your store name- and, honestly, this part doesn't really matter, because you can always go back and change the name and purchase a new domain name later. so for now, i'm just going to call this nathan's first store- not actually my first store, but that's what we're calling it. shopify is going to go ahead and ask you a few questions, whether you're just starting out or if you're already selling. what you can do is just go ahead and skip this entire part, as it's not super necessary in the beginning and you don't really need to answer those questions. however, you do need to put in your country and then hit enter my store. so if you made it to this part, you actually made it farther than 99 of people who say they're gonna start an online business. you now have your own dashboard and storefront with shopify, so the home page here is basically gonna prompt you to complete a bunch of steps in order to get your store up and running. next thing, we have an orders tab over here which is gonna track and manage all the orders that are gonna be coming through later. the next one: we have products, where you're gonna be managing the different products and inventory that you have. the customer tab, where you're gonna control everything that's customer related in one single place. analytiks, where you're going to see the daily view. you know how much you're making- your average order value, conversion rates- all that important stuff. a marketing channel: we're going to keep track of all the different ways your marketing on your store. discount codes, if you want to make unique discount codes for certain people to shop. and lastly but most importantly, the online store sales channel itself, where you're gonna be creating the website, choosing the theme, adding blog posts, if that's what you want, creating other pages like a contact us and a track your order page, making the navigation menus and the footer menus different preferences about your store. and just before we jump into actually building a store, i do want to run you through just the most important things that you should fix up on your settings. so the first thing, over here in store details, you want to change the currency to usd. i mean, 90 of my customers, i would say, come from the united states and if you're on the same boat, i would recommend having your currency set to usd [Music] and just go ahead and click save. besides that, you can start to fill out your billing information so they can bill you eventually. when you get off of the free trial, you can start to set up staff accounts. if you're working on this business with somebody else, you can start to set up your bank account so that they can actually pay you when you make orders. and beyond that, there's not a whole lot that we need to do in the very beginning in the settings. so now it's time to find our first product so that we can actually start making some sales down here, you'll notike this section called apps. you just want to come over here and click add apps. it'll take you straight to the shopify app store if you click the link at the bottom, and this is where you want to be: to go ahead and get an app that allows you to import a product in one click. now, oberlo was a big app that allowed you to do this before. i'm not even too sure it's still on the shopify app store. no, it's not. in fact, it's been completely removed, and this is the best way for beginners to get started was to use oberlo and one click add a product from aliexpress to their store. but with oberlo gone, we need an alternative, and deezers is actually partnered with overload to kind of pick up and take over where oberlo left off. but good news for you is that deezers is actually a whole lot more complete and allows you to automate so many more tasks that oberlo just didn't have the functionalities for. the first thing you want to do is go ahead and click on this app and then just click add app and it's going to give you again a 14 day free trial, so you don't have to spend any money out of your pocket. go ahead and click install app, and then it's going to prompt you to a page where you need to create an account for yourself. now don't get scared away by the 499 per month enterprise plan, as all we need right now is the basic free plan and just go ahead and click get started. the next thing is that we need to go ahead and link deezers to aliexpress. so if you just click this logo right here, it's going to take us right through to aliexpress and ideally, you want to already have an account set up. if you don't, it's super quick and easy to make an account on aliexpress. just click authorize and then you're going to get this little support bot and obviously what we want to do at this point is start importing products and figuring out which products we want to sell on our store. it's going to take you through a really quick guide, but i don't real.

in this shopify tutorial, i'm going to take you through, step by step, how to build a professional shopify store from start to finish. we're going to cover every single step, from signing up to shopify to launching your finished store, ready to sell your products. that includes choosing a theme, customizing your store website, adding products to your store and also important things like setting up your legal pages, your payment providers and your shipping information. i'm also not going to waste your time rambling about things that aren't important and then try to sell you a drop shipping course for 9.97. this video will simply help you getting your shopify store up and running as efficiently as possible, while also learning how to use shopify. so let's get started. so the first step is to go to medicsmediacom forward slash shopify or simply click on the link down below in the video description. this will get you a 14 day free trial for shopify. so do that now and we'll go from there. great. so once we're here, we can simply type in our email address right here and then click on start free trial, and then we also gonna have to set a password for our new shopify account, and down here you can also see the current url of your new shopify store now. you can change that if you want to, but eventually you're going to want to get your own branded domain, something like medicswatchescom anyway, so i wouldn't worry about that too much. and then you can click on create your store. now they want to ask us a couple of questions about our business, which we can actually simply skip right here, and then they ask us for our name and business address, which is actually required in order for us to create a new shopify account. so fill that out right here and then click on enter my store. awesome, so that will take us inside of the shopify dashboard, which is what you're gonna learn how to use in this video. however, we're not gonna cover every single thing here in the shopify dashboard, because a lot of it is self-explanatory and i think the best way to learn everything is to actually start building out your store and then learning by doing learning the features when you actually need them. so i want to dive right into the fun stuff and start building out our store. alright, so the first step is to go ahead and choose a theme for our new online store. so we're going to go to online store here on the left side, then we're going to go to themes, and then we can see that the current theme that is already installed on our online store is the dawn theme. this is the default theme that comes with every new shopify store. now, choosing a theme, you want to make sure that the theme already is kind of the design that you're looking for, the structure of the of the website that you're looking for. so you have a minimal amount of work you have to do until you are ready to launch your store. so what you can do is you can go to actions, click on preview and then you can see how this current theme is actually built up, and then you can decide on if this is actually the right theme for you or if you want to choose a different theme. now, if you want to choose a different theme, you have a couple of different options. so here, when we scroll down, we can see that there are some free themes that we can use that come with the shopify plan, or it can also go to the shopify theme store right here and then also check out paid themes, which you're gonna have to pay for. so what you can do right now is to go through some of these options. i would recommend to first click on explore free themes right here and see if any theme here really fits your brand, your, your kind of store or the products that you want to sell. so eventually, all we have to do then is to add our products, add our branding and add all of our content, and then our store will be ready to go. what i'm gonna do in this video is simply choose one of the free themes right here. so i'm gonna click on explore free themes and i'm actually going to go for the brooklyn theme right here, so i'm going to click on the brooklyn theme. they also have a couple of different styles for each theme, so you can click on different styles and decide on which one you like the most. i'm gonna simply stik to the classic style right here and then i'm gonna click on add to theme library here on the bottom, and then, once the theme has been added, we can see it right here, and in order to actually change from the default theme to the new one we have just added, we need to go to actions right here and then click on publish, then again confirm right here, and now our theme will change to the new theme that we have just added and now we want to start building out our store. so we're going to scroll up again and then we're going to right click on customize and click on add link in a new tab. this way, we still have our shopify dashboard open in the background and we can work on our shopify store in the shopify editor right here at the same time. so now we are in the editor of shopify, which we can use to build out our online store website. so i'm going to give you a quick overview over how this works and then we're going to start to build out our website. so here on the top you can switch from different pages. so right now we are on the home page. you can also switch to your product pages, to your collection pages, blog pages and so on. but most of the work we're gonna do here on the home page and you're gonna see that all the other pages- like product pages, checkout pages- they're already built up for you, so there's not much design that we have to do on these pages. then you can also change from desktop view to mobile view or full screen view. so eventually you want to make sure that your store looks very good on mobile as well, because a lot of the traffic nowadays online comes actually from mobile phones. but however, we're going to build out everything here on the desktop view. then the site is built up in different sections, so it always starts with a header section here on the top and then on all the way in the bottom there's the footer section where you're going to have a couple of links and your legal pages and so on, and in between the header and the footer there are the sections which you can decide what you want to put in here. so by default we have a slideshow section here on the top where you can feature your store or your products, and we also have a menu here on the top which is part of the header. then we have another section, the rich text section. right here we have collection list, we have feature collection and so on. these are all sections that you can add manually and also remove. so, for example, if you want to remove the which, the rich text section, we could simply click on it and then we can click on remove section right here on the bottom. now, depending on what screen size you have, this menu might also display here on the right side for you, but for me it's here on the left side- then you can click on remove section right here and, just like this, this section is now gone from our website. you can also add new sections by clicking on add section here on the bottom left, and then you can decide on what kind of section you want to add. so let's say, we want to add this rich text section. again, we can simply click on which text section, then it will add it here on the bottom and now we can also drag it to another position. so we can drag it here up to maybe below the slideshow, and there we go. we have this section now on our home page again. so let's actually start building, and the way we're going to do it is we're going to simply go from top to bottom and we're going to start with the header. so we're going to click on the header here on the left side and the first thing we're going to do is to add our logo to our store. so i'm going to click on select image right here and then we're going to choose the logo that i have prepared for this specific store. so i'm going to click on upload an image and then i'm going to choose this image right here, which is:
