Starting a business online can be dauting, especially if you have no idea where and how to start. Thanks to Shopify, the best ecommerce website platform, you can make your second-hand business dream a reality. Regardless if you have no experience in building a website or looking to expand your brick-and-mortar business, Shopify is a good tool for you to take advantage of. Not only will you be able to set up your store, you will also have access to analytics, marketing, and integrations that will help your online store grow.

Now, when it comes to adding products to your second-hand shop in Shopify, here are simple steps you can follow:

Step 1: Store Name: Head on over to Shopify.com and start a free trial. The user will be asked to input their store name with the default URL of storename.myshopify.com. Make sure to select a store name that is unique, catchy, and describes what the business is all about. Once the necessary details are identified, the user will be redirected to the product page.

Step 2: Adding Products: Products are the lifeline of a Shopify shop. Having a great selection of products with easy to navigate catalogs will give the website a good user experience. When it comes to products, having a detailed product title and description is essential for the store. Providing the right information on the photos, pricing, inventory, shipping, and variants can make a customer's decision to purchase your product much easier.

a. Adding Photos: Presentation is king. Uploading relevant and detailed photos of the products will help customers imagine wearing or using the products being sold. Therefore, using high resolution photos with uniformed aspect ratios will give the products a clearer, consistent, and professional feel towards the customers

b. Setting Prices: Identifying the list price of the products is important, not just for customers, but for the shop's business as well. Studying and computing the margins to gain profit after shipping, taxes, and other costs such as discounts and promotions are critical for a business to flourish. At the same time, maintaining a good price point for products to stay competitive in the market is essential for customers to choose the shop instead of competitors. Having a healthy balance of both factors will allow the shop to sustain a good earning business.

c. Tracking Inventory: It is important for a shop to track one's inventory to avoid losing opportunities due to unavailable products. Having an overview of how many products a store has left and how many products should be restocked ahead of time will keep the business running without any issues.

d. Setting Shipping: With Shopify's global reach, the business will have the ability to ship all over the world. Therefore, it is critical to set up the store's shipping rates as well as shipping labels per order.

e. Setting Variants: Offering variants of a certain product will give customers the freedom to choose a certain preference. From sizes, to colors, having a good variety of options for the product will increase the chances of purchasing from the shop.
