And anyone who's visiting your site will be able to add your products to their car and purchase them from your website .

So make sure you watch this video till the end to learn how to do it .

I'm brand from website learners and let's start creating an e-commerce website now to create an e-commerce website .

First , you need to create an account on Shopify .

So to create the account and shop if I just click the link below this video and it will take you to this page not to create an account .

Click here and enter your email address .

Now , click start free trial and you will get this page .

Now , enter a password for your account .

So you will need this to log into your website .

Now , here you need to enter the name for your store .

So I'm going to call my store .

Go to cloth .

Now this will become your website's address .

So for example , if you enter go to cloth , your website address will be go to cloth dot my Shopify dot com .

Once you've entered these details , click create your store and you will get this page , not company creating your account , fill up all these details and then click enter my store and now you will get this page .

Once you reach this page , it means that you have now successfully created your Shopify account .

So once you've created your Shopify account , your website will also be created .

So to check that , let's open a new tab and type our website address , which is the name of your store dot my Shopify dot com .

So I'm going to type go to cloth dot my Shopify dot com .

And now if you press enter , you can see that we have now got our website .

So right now we have two pages which is a homepage and our page .

Now , if you scroll down , you can see that our site is empty .

So once you've got your website , we can now start building it .

So we are going to build a site in just two parts .

The first part is to set up your store .

A store is the place where customers can look at all your products and then purchase them .

So once you set up your store , your site will have your own products and your users will be able to purchase them .

So we are going to set up our store in just five steps .

The first step is to log on to your Shopify website .

So to log into your website , all you have to do is just go to your website address and then type slash admin .

Now this is the address which will take you to the admin page of your website .

So now if you press enter , you can see that we're on the admin page , maybe we can control our website .

So once you've logged in , we can now go to step two of setting up our store , which is to add products to your site .

So to add products , just click products and click , add product .

And it will take you to this page where you need to add the details about your product .

So to add a product to your site , just enter your product name here as I want to sell a t-shirt , I'm going to enter a t-shirt and here you need to enter the details of the product .

So let's do that once you finish entering the details .

Now , here you need to add an image of the product .

So to do that , just drag an image from your computer and then drop it here .

Next , you need to enter the price of the product .

So I'm going to enter $50 .

Finally , here you need to enter the number of products that are available .

So let's say you have 10 pieces of this product available in stock .

Then just enter 10 here , I'm going to enter 10 .

So after adding the details of the product , just scroll up and click save .

And now the product has been successfully added to your website .

So if you go to a product page and click refresh , you can see that we now have our product here .

And now if you click on the product , you can see that we can now buy this product .

So this is how you can add a product to your website .

In the same way you can add any number of products you want to your website .

Ok .

Now if you could buy , now , you can see that we are getting this message which says checkout is not available .

So this means your customers will not be able to buy products from your website .

So to let customers buy products from your site , we need to choose a plan for our Shopify account .

So let's go to step three , which is to choose a plan on Shopify .

So to do that , let's go back to Shopify .

Now , click home and then click select a plan .

Now , here you can see three different plans which you can choose from .

You can take a look at these features and select the one you want .

I'm going to select this one .

Now , here you need to choose how often you want to make the payment .

I'm going to choose every 30 days .

Now , to choose this plan , let's click add credit card and here it will ask you to enter your card details .

Now , if you continue using Shopify after 14 days , then your card will be charged .

So let's enter our card details and then click confirm .

Ok .

So now we have successfully chosen our plan which means we can now see a page .

So now if you go to our product page and click buy , now you can see that we have now got a check out page and we can add our shipping details .

Ok .

So let's enter our details and click , continue to shipping .

Now , here you can see that we have no option to make payment .

So in order to allow customers to pay for your products , you need to set up your payment method .

So next , let's go to step four of setting up our store , which is to set up our payment method .

So to set it up , let's go back to shop if I now click settings and then click payments .

Now , here you will find several payment options which you can add to your site .

If Shopify payment option is available in your country , you can activate this payment .

But if you don't have this option , just scroll down select third party providers and you will find more payment methods which you can add to your site .

I'm going to choose stripe which is a popular payment method .

So let's click that and you will get this page .

Now here you need to fill up these details .

So let's do that .

Now , scroll down , fill up your bank details where you want to receive your payment .

Now , when someone buys a product from your site , the money will be sent to this account .

Ok .

Next , let's enter our email and give a password for a stripe account .

Now , once you've entered all these details , click , authorize access to this account .

As you can see , we have added a payment method to our website .

So this means our payment setup is now complete .

Now , if you go to a check out page and click refresh , you can see that instead of an error message , we cannot pay using our card .

So now we have successfully set up our payment method .

Ok ?

So once you've set up your payment method , we can go to the final step of setting up our store , which is to make your site available to your visitors .

Now , if you open a new browser window and go to our website , you can see that our site is not yet visible .

So to make our site visible to others , you need to change the setting in Shopify .

So to change that setting , let's go back to Shopify and click online store .

Now , here you can see that a site is password protected , which means no one can see it right now .

Now , to make your site visible to your visitors , click , disable password and it'll take you to this page .

Now here , disable this option and click save .

So now your website will be visible to your customers .

Now , if you go back to the tap and click refresh , you can see that a site is now available to our visitors .

Now , if you go to store , we can now see the product we added .

So now we have successfully completed setting a pass tour and this means anyone who is visiting your site will now be able to buy your products .

Now , let's try to buy a product from our site .

So to do that , let's go back to our website .

Let's go to our store .

Now , just like a customer would do , let's select this product and then try buying this product by clicking by now .

Now if the customer enters the details and click continue , it will ask the customer to enter the payment details .

So now if they enter it and click pay , now you can see that the payment has been made and we have successfully ordered the product .

Ok .

So this is how a customer can buy a product from your site .

So now we've successfully created our e-commerce website with Shopify and now your customers can order products from your site .

Now , what happens when someone orders your product ?

How do you know that you've got an order ?

Now , as soon as someone buys a product from your site , if you go to your inbox .

You can see that we have received two emails .

The first email is from a Shopify store and the second one is from Stripe .

So if we open the first email from our store , you can see that we have all the details about the order .

So we have the name of the product which the customer has ordered and the address .

Now , if we go back and open the second mail , you can see that stripe confirms that we have received our payment .

So this is how you can know when someone has ordered your product .

And once you get this email , you can go ahead and deliver the product to your customer .

So now you have successfully set up your store and you can receive orders from your customers once you've set up your store .

Next , let's go to part two of building your e-commerce website , which is to change the look of our website .

So to change the look of our website , we're going to do two steps .

The first step is to add the content to your homepage .

Now , if you go to a homepage , you can see that this is how our site looks .

There is already a default content that we have on our site .

Now , instead of this default content , what if you want to add your own content to this homepage ?

So to do that , just click edit home page and it will take you to this editing section Now , here you will see all the sections which are available on this page .

Now , let's say you want to edit this first section , just click the first item here and you can see the list of options which are available under this section .

So here you can see that we have the same text which is available here .

Now , if you want to change this text , all you have to do is just select this text and then start typing .

And as you can see the text has changed now , in the same way , you can change any text on this page , just select it and then enter your own text .

Next , let's say you want to change this background image to james' image , just drag an image from your computer and drop it here .

And as you can see the image has been changed .

So now we have completed editing the first section to edit the next section which is here .

Let's click here to see all the sections .

Then choose the second section .

Not , let's drag an image from a computer and then drop it here and again , just like we did before , let's click here to change this text and finally click here to go back .

Now in the same way , let's add images and text to the rest of the home page .

So now we have completed designing our homepage .

Now , let's say you want to add a button here like this .

So all you have to do is just go to the first section .

Now scroll down and then add the button name here .

I'm going to type shop now .

Now , here we need to choose the page where this button needs to take us when we click it .

So if you want to link your button to the products page , just click here and choose products .

Now , as you can see , our button has been added here .

So once you are done with all the changes , just click save .

And now if you go back to our website , you can see that this is how the page looked before .

And now if we click refresh , you can see all the changes that we made here .

So this is how you can add content to your homepage .

Once you've added the content , we can go to step two where we see how you can add products to your home page like this .

Now , if you scroll down our home page , we can see that we don't have any product here .

So next , let's see how you can display your products in this area of your homepage .

Now , to add our products here , we're going to do two steps .

The first step is to choose the collection of products which you want to display here .

So to choose your collection , let's click edit home page .

Now go to feature collection .
