How to Create a Dropshipping Store on Shopify from Scratch

[00:02] I launched last week, where I found a product and a niche from scratch. And today in this video I will be creating a store on Shopify for this product. Well creating a store on Shopify for this product. Well , let's not keep you waiting, let's go.

[00:33] video last week that came out on Friday, I've made up my mind about this product. I will launch it in English-speaking countries. I haven't decided which country yet. We'll cover this in the next video, where I'll show you

[00:48] how I launch an ad and which country I'll target. Today we are making a website exactly like our competitor’s, and then we will, of course, change a couple of things, for example, the logo. And, basically, that's all. This is what concerns the

[01:01] online store, our competitor, which will be a model will try to do it exactly the same. Okay, now let's go to shopfay.com. Don't forget, if you're in Russia or Belarus, or in

[01:17] most CIS countries not listed, I highly recommend using a VPN to avoid being blocked by Shopify. We need a VPN when registering on Shopify, as well as when making payments, subscribing, and

[01:31] when adding your card, where you add the billing address of this card. A turn it off when you create a website, you can also turn off the VPN, you don’t need it. Turn on VPN. So, we are now creating an account on Shopify. Let's wait a couple of

[01:45] seconds. While it's being created, I remind you that you'll find a link in the description where you can get Shopify for $1 for 3 months. Pay $1 per month. So you don't have the excuse that a Shopify subscription is expensive

[01:59] . It costs $30 per month. You have 3 months where you pay this will allow you to start with literally one dollar a month. Our personal account has loaded. Let's start creating a store right away. We'll do everything regarding

[02:14] settings later. So, let's go to the online store. Well, great, it's loaded for us. Click customize. So, let's start right away with the product page, because this is where we will send our customer. Now let's

[02:26] quickly create a product. We go to the products section. people, well, also preserved. We saved the photos , you can add them here. Okay,

[02:40] , you can add them here. Okay, great, the photos have been added. Oops. So, we use QL to paraphrase the text. Although you can even the text. Although you can even do this on Shopifа. Right here. Yes.

[02:58] And, by the way, here's what's interesting: they supposedly have a 90% discount, which is very aggressive, and people might fall for it and buy it. Sell ​​even if you don't have it in stock, but we don't need variations. We will sell one variation.

[03:11] Okay, everything is done here. Okay, the product is ready. Reload the page. This is what our product page looks like for now. That 's it, now we can do it like our competitor. So, the colors he gets are the first ones here, blue. So,

[03:25] edit by colors. OK. And now we'll change it here. We also have a gradient. Yes. we'll change it here. We also have a gradient. Yes.

[03:37] Save. Now we'll change the color here so that our background is white. Here. And the color is like this . OK. Header. No, our headder is black. Well, not black, grey. So, it turns out that

[03:51] our menu is made in a different color. This is the color we will have. Ah, well, most likely he is. OK. So, the first colors are good with us. Closing down the cell. Like this . And here we'll make it

[04:05] . And here we'll make it bold. Font weight B. Uh-huh. So, everything is in bold . Okay, okay. We have done the first section. Now we need this menu. What's on our menu? Logo in the center. Middle cent. So, our text is

[04:21] white and bold. So, now we need to put the logo in. Let's put the competitor's logo for now, then we'll make a different logo in Convenience. Logo. So, the competitor's logo is in AVIF format. Convert from AVIV format to

[04:36] PNG format. By the way, it is clear that his logo is made in Conveyance, because usually in Conveyance the name is called entitled. Now we need to make it larger in size. Yes. Well, that's how it is. We already have something similar. So, next we

[04:49] go to the product page. Now we will change the font, typography. So, we will change the font, typography. So, I usually take linrat. This is a good font. For some reason it's kind of gigantic. Well, maybe a little less, 25. That's it.

[05:03] Great. Next we have reviews, stars, then price. We don't need quantity, we don't have variations. There is no quantity. Okay, sat down. We will now replace Cell with

[05:15] 90% off. And now we need to make sure that instead of villages it says 90% instead of villages it says 90% discount. Okay, let's go here. Edit default m. So, sell price. Here it is for sale. Like this . 90%

[05:29] . 90% off. We save. Here. 90% off is written down for us. So, we have removed the variations and quantity . Now the add to cart button . Now the add to cart button should not be blue. By button

[05:43] dicckout we remove. Solid button background. background. Great. Ah, that's what it's called. OK. Op. And and and

[05:57] And and and we should have more. The font size is we should have more. The font size is below and secure checkout. Well, it's easy for us to do that.

[06:10] Just add text. So. We also need the margin top, which is where we have too much space at the top, to be minus 10 pixels.

[06:23] Okay, okay. Next we have a description in collapse throw format. Okay, well, no big deal, let's say our description is like this. Then we have is included. Well, this can also be written down. So, we already have something

[06:39] similar. So, then we have sections like this . picture of text and text picture. For now, the goal is to create a skeleton, so that it is exactly the same as the competitor’s, and then we can come up with something else. So, we have

[06:54] the picture here. So, our next one is also an image with text. Here we are already starting to have something very similar. So, we have

[07:06] multium 13, so that there are small icons. Then you can make your own icons in Convenience and replace them. So, here we still have some gigantic dimensions for some reason. Oops, four. OK. In the center.

[07:23] Oops, four. OK. In the center. Here. Fine. So, we are saving this. And, basically, what is left for us? Add reviews now, go to Kchim KS, install it and wait for it to install. You can

[07:38] and wait for it to install. You can also choose a paid plan. Since to test for 14 days, I always recommend taking the maximum. This way, you can add as many reviews as you want and then upgrade to either the free

[07:51] plan or the $15 plan. So, here he needs to add a payment. Then we'll stick with free. For now, I always recommend closing unnecessary tabs make changes in one tab, save it, and the version there is not up to date.

[08:08] And what you end up saving on top is the actions you did, and you will simply lose your work done. We will work done. We will call this Save. And we return to the KS. And

[08:22] below we will have reviews. And now our stars will be this color. All. Here we have a good save. Click to avoid losing it. And here we are adding a to avoid losing it. And here we are adding a section with app reviews. Here. And

[08:35] we will have reviews here. So, all that's left for us to do is add some reviews. So, in English, right? So, we also want reviews to be shown, yes, chaotically, in this way. OK. Continue. So, referal, a, posturchase. Fine. Fasting. We don't need this.

[08:51] So, let's add reviews so it doesn't go to aliexpress.ru. Let's turn on VPN. Now let's find a similar spotlight. Well, let's see. Well, of course, as always, the filter is too harsh. Okay, then give me any feedback,

[09:07] because the good thing is that we can, in principle, change all these reviews later to suit ourselves. Now. Op. Now we'll add a few pieces. You may ask, how can we change reviews?

[09:20] We just import these reviews first, and then we export these reviews in CSV format. This is the Google Excel spreadsheet format for us. And in this Excel, we will change the country from which the review was submitted so that it is

[09:35] more relevant, and we will add images to these reviews if we have few images there. I generally recommend that a product have at least 100 reviews. The more reviews the better, if you can

[09:48] principle, is not so difficult. First, you import from AliExpress, then you export in SEVIEW format, and then in a Google spreadsheet, you fill in how many reviews you want . So, with Lux, for example, you can take the first 100 reviews,

[10:02] export this CSV file of the table, and add another 500,000 reviews to this table . You can simply copy and paste the same reviews, because, in principle, people will not go beyond the first 100 reviews, and you

[10:14] can simply inflate additional reviews this way. So we have 148 reviews here, now there will probably be 100. So, well, here are 91 reviews, in principle. OK. Here. And here we export all reviews in CSV format. Here's what we did.

[10:29] Now let's go to Google Sheets. Here. And here we import our table. Now we are waiting for Google to load the table. Here. Excellent, excellent, to load the table. Here. Excellent, excellent, excellent, excellent. We don't need the ID,

[10:43] we don't need the active status either, we do need the rating . We can generate images via email. Yes, we'll generate GPT here using chat. Review, data project ID.

[10:55] Okay, that's good, we don't need that. No reply needed. Verified. This way, all reviews will have a check mark indicating that they have been verified. Here we can have 101 hgmail.com.

[11:09] Okay, we'll do it here. This way I will have emails with different ones. Well, here are 200. Let us have some reviews. So, here we will have uh between pt and four.

[11:21] we will have uh between pt and four. Between four and five. Here. Great. So now, in this way, we will have a rating between one and five. Why between 4 and five? Because, well, it would be suspicious if you only have five stars, but otherwise it’s

[11:34] good. That's what I'm saying. Few people will read it. Afterwards, people read the first 10-20 reviews, and they won’t go any further. Here. And then we get pictures. In principle, they can be left. Well, of course, you can also take

[11:49] these images from a competitor, if there are not enough on your product, and upload them to Shopify in the Content Files section. Here. Upload any image here, and you will get a link to this image. And you insert this link here in the

[12:02] image section. So, either ask GPT, or list of most [music] used first names in the use. So, is it possible

[12:14] to copy? Okay then. Let's say it's like this to copy? Okay then. Let's say it's like this . Now let's open another page. And the same thing here. That's it, we can do the export and it should work. So,

[12:27] there is no side here, so, in principle, it’s okay. So, now let's first delete these reviews from Slux . Here. Belk action, Delete all reviews. This is how we delete. While we are deleting, we go to Google Sheets and do an export. So, yes, reviews.

[12:42] Let's try. Like this. That's it, 145 more reviews are loading now, because we have 200. Here are 167. That's it, our reviews are loading. Here. And here we see that everything, we have reviews that we imported. Well, of course, you can also

[12:58] sort them so that you have the right pictures, so that there are no crumpled boxes. Read all the reviews to avoid any test and I'm doing it quickly. It's

[13:10] strange that it's showing here, even though I turned it off. So, here we have this highlighted. We remove the widget. You can also see what opportunities are available to you here . These testimonials can be

[13:22] highlighted beautifully. We've already seen this with several competitors. This gallery is also quite interesting to use. This is what our website already looks like to use. This is what our website already looks like . It took an hour to do this. Here are our

[13:34] reviews. Everything looks quite nice. And all that remains for us to do is make the footer. here we will have a menu. Let's save this now . What do we have here? Quick Links. Follow us. We wo

[13:48] n't have any follow us. Well, okay. You can also have this. So, our You can also have this. So, our display is strange, of course, but okay. And of course, you can also add a logo. Brand information. Here. And in Quicklinks we

[14:01] need to create these pages: FQ, Contact, Shipping Returns, Truck Order. Once again, the purpose of this video is to show how everything works. You don't need to copy the content directly one to one . Always check what you

[14:16] copy to avoid plagiarism. You make sure that your content changes. Either through the bot or through the GPT chat. to rephrase the entire text. So, FQ is done. Then we have contact us. That's easy. Ad

[14:32] page. Here we select the contact format. I looked at the domain to.O, it's available, so we'll take it. Why am I deleting a domain? Because Shopify normally backs up our domain. And if I write this

[14:46] 97 C8 of mine, which is below, it will not look good. When I connect the dominator, it should immediately attach it. That's it, we have it ready. What else do we have left? Okay, trucky order. We'll do that later.

[15:00] Not necessarily at all for now. When we have orders, then we can do the same thing at the beginning regarding privacy policy. There will be a lot of information here that is not related to you. So you need to remove all of this carefully.

[15:15] This is automatically generated. Let's shop around for these conditions. OK. Well, now we've done it. You can return to our navigation. And here we can add all the information we need . Pages. First we have

[15:29] FQ, that's what it's called FQ. Then we have contact going on there. Then we have there. Then we have return, this is refound. return, this is refound. Our last point is privacy. OK. We are deleting Search.

[15:43] Remove. Is everything correct? FQ contact shipping return. OK. We did all this. Save and go to the website. Let's check if everything is good. Yes, we have them loaded. Quick Links. Everything is fine.

[15:57] So, now one more thing - this is that we haven’t tested how it will work on our mobile version. So, in principle, everything is good here. Now let's look at the product page to see how a competitor does it on the mobile version. Here he

[16:09] shows the pictures below. Here. Looks quite professional. Here we have reviews. Of course, it could still be done, uh, improved somehow, but, in principle, it’s ok. Well, in principle, it is not even necessary to make a main page.

[16:23] This is just for the test, so as not to waste time. I won't make the main page . I think you all understand how everything works. You can do it yourself, because the majority of 90% of people who go

[16:35] to the product page will either add the product to the cart and buy it, or they will leave the site. Very few people will go to the main page, look, find out, especially when the product costs 34 euros, 34 dollars.

[16:48] In our case, it will be, uh, this, well, in principle, is not necessary. What I usually like to do is install a custom cart. It works great and looks much better than the simple Shopify cart. By the way, I'll leave a

[17:02] link in the description to an app that I've been using for a year now, and I think I'm getting really great results. OK. Okay, now now then,

[17:14] well, we'll pay later. Well, the basket looks like this now. It's not very pretty and I don't really want to use it, but with Upcard it will look much more interesting. Yes, it would also be very interesting to change this

[17:29] point, because with a one-page checkout, well, not everyone wants to first add their information before finding out what the delivery details are. I finding out what the delivery details are. I usually change this point too.

[17:42] So where do I send UK? Just free standup shipping would already be good. So. And thus we will have the wotting method. By the way, nobody talks about this . I recently saw this on Blim, if I'm not mistaken. Yes, quite

[17:57] interesting. They also put up an icon of a country that, well, the fact that they are targeting America, they put up an American flag. Okay then. Everything here is d in terms of design. Here we have this color because it’s PayPal, but otherwise our colors are

[18:11] all set correctly. We leave a one-page receipt. And this can also be raised. Enter shipping address. We've sorted out the checkout. It is important to make the right delivery. Detail with euro. Let's put dollars. Dollar. OK. Paris.

[18:30] I'll change the business information here. The storename, of course, also needs to be changed. So, billing information. The same applies to how your shopif tariff will be paid. Choose too. the currency you need euro-dollar, payments. Here

[18:45] you add payments strip. I already showed on my channel on Shorsu how to open Strike and how to add it. Here I will add my strike, shop file payments. I do n't see any point in formalizing it yet. So, we have a checkout, by the way, regarding the

[19:00] checkout email, so that it can be used. We need both the first and last name. No company need both the first and last name. No company needed. The second line of address is not needed. Uh, we need a phone number. Email preselected. K. We don't need the Confirmation step

[19:17] because it's an additional step and may cause a drawdown. That 's it, we should have Chekao in English . Fine. Here. And shipping France International. So where is South Africa? OK. Adding a market. Here is

[19:33] South Africa. So, prices will be in dollars for now. Then we'll change it once I connect STPE so it's in the right currency. Here we are making an asset. So, Market. OK. Nowping. We add sapa, I think they

[19:48] call it mail. In principle, this will be for everyone. That's it, we've made the delivery. And now you can go to Markets and thus activate this market so that a person can buy. Well, it will need to be

[20:04] changed so that it simply says South Africa. If we sell only to this country, in principle, other countries do not need to have lists, so that a person does not even need to select a country from his list. You see,

[20:16] France and South Africa. Just remove France and make it an asset. Yes, it's strange. Well, that's fine. It should be registered now. Maybe because it hasn't automatically write the country address. Well then, a random

[20:31] address. Now we have all the delivery information displayed. standardshipping sa estimated 510 days. You don't even have to remove the S, but just set it to 5-10 days so that the S doesn't take up much space. So, yes, all that 's left for me to do is create a custom

[20:48] 's left for me to do is create a custom checkout, support the, uh, domin, payment system, and, in principle, the store is ready to launch for the next video. That's all for now , friends. In the next video, I'll show you how to run Facebook ads for this

[21:02] online store or on TikTok. I have n't decided yet. Whatever is easier, that's what I'll do. And where we get results faster, that’s where we’ll launch. See you next week. Bye everyone. Ciao. Ah.
