Starting with a new shop system often feels bigger than it is. With a clear order of steps you quickly reach a working shop that you can expand bit by bit.

Before you begin

Take a moment to write down your goals. Who sells what to whom? This clarity helps you with every decision later on.

What to have ready

Access to your server or hosting
An empty database
Your logo and first product images

The installation

The actual setup works in just a few steps. Mind the system requirements and follow the assistant that guides you through the basic configuration.

Your first content

Start with your category structure, because it forms the backbone of your assortment. Then add your first products with meaningful descriptions and good images.

Test the checkout

Before going live you should place a test order. That way you notice whether shipping methods, payment methods and emails work as expected.

Conclusion

With a thought out order of steps the start is no magic. Plan thoroughly, test honestly and then expand your shop calmly.
