4. Choose your web address
Building a store with shopify
During the sign up process, you choose the web
address where you and your visitors will access
your store. You aren't able to change this later.
Keep your web address short, easy to spell, and
easy to remember.
Eg: myshop.shopify.com

7. Create Products Collections
Building a store with shopify
Product collections determine how your
products are organized and displayed in your
store.
Don't worry about not adding any products to
your store yet: you first need to create the
categories your products will fall under.

8. Add Products
Building a store with shopify
Add products to your store by clicking on the
"Products" link and then on the "Add a new
product" link. Don't worry about resizing your
product's images: Shopify does that for you. If
you need to create variations of your products
(i.e. different colors or sizes), check the box next
to "This product's variants have multiple
options that distinguish them."

product should belong to. The Frontpage
collection is made up of the products that are
shown on your store's homepage.
