Here are some ways you might want to group your products:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clothes by gender and\/or age<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Items grouped by size or color<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Items grouped by type<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sale items<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seasonal items<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Upload Stunning Images Of Your Product. You get better sales with great images.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Customize the navigation menu. In the header section, you can add three types of navigation.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Main navigation &#8211; this usually contains your main product collections. Your products will be divided up into collections. Each collection can be listed in the navigation bar. When selecting a collection, a drop down listing the products can appear.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Footer navigation &#8211; this usually contains links to your informational pages such as \u201cAbout Us,\u201d \u201cFrequently Asked Questions,\u201d \u201cReturn Policy,\u201d and so on.This area tends to be the place to put the things required for an online store that are not actual products for sale.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Search.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Set Your Price And Inventory. Enter the price and check the box that allows Shopify to collect the taxes. Also enter how many of each item you have in stock and check the box that allows Shopify to keep track of the inventory.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enter Product Weight For Shipping Purposes. Shipping costs are based on package weight. You need to know this to keep track of your shipping expenses. Check manual fulfillment if you are filling these orders yourself.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Add Variants For Size, Color, Etc. Add in variants for different sizes, colors, scents, flavors, etc. These options will appear on your product page.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Add a domain name &#8211; pick a domain name for your store site. It should be something related to your store name like name-of-store.com.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Buy Your Chosen Domain. You can do this through Shopify or a domain broker such as GoDaddy.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Integrating Google Analytics. Create a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/analytics.google.com\/analytics\/web\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google Analytics<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> account. You can use this to track data for your store.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Launch your store. This is it! Remove the password page that blocks anyone from coming (sort of like unlocking the front door) and you\u2019re in business.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ometrics is Here to Help with Your Shopify Store and <a href=\"https:\/\/ochatbot.com\/ecommerce-chatbot\/shopify-chatbot\/\">Shopify Chatbot<\/a><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"\/contact_us\">Contact us<\/a> if you need help building your store and your shopify chatbot.
