Shopify Setup Service

- get your store online fast -

A simple, professional setup to get your Shopify store online — the right way.

This service is ideal if you’re just getting started and want a professional helping hand to get the essentials in place without the cost of a custom build.

What's included

1. Theme Selection & Installation

I’ll recommended the most appropriate theme/s for your business needs from the Shopify theme store. Choose your favorite and I’ll install it for you.

Note: Once a theme is selected and installed, changing to a different theme will incur an extra cost.

2. Theme Branding

I’ll style the theme to match your brand using the built-in options. This includes:

  • Uploading your logo and favicon
  • Updating the color scheme to match your branding
  • Selecting fonts that align with your brand (based on your theme’s available options)

3. Theme Configuration

I’ll set up your homepage, product pages, collections, and cart using your theme’s built-in settings.

🔹 Note: Theme settings vary between themes. Custom design or coding beyond built-in settings is available at an extra cost.

4. Content Implementation

I’ll add up to 30 pieces of content to your store. This can include products, collections, pages, or blog posts.

All content (text, images, videos, and SEO info) is to be supplied by you.

🔹 Need more than 30 pieces? No problem – additional content can be added for an extra fee.

5. Store Review

Before launch, you’ll get a review period to request small adjustments. Any changes outside the scope can be quoted separately and added after launch.

6. Store Configuration & Launch Support

I’ll help configure the core Shopify settings so your store is ready to launch. This includes:

Payment Gateway Setup
I’ll guide you through connecting your chosen Shopify-supported gateway (e.g. Shopify Payments).

💳 You’ll need to select your payment provider and have your account ready – this service doesn’t include advice on which provider to choose or support setting up external accounts.

Shipping Settings Setup
We’ll set up your shipping options based on the information you provide.

📦 You’ll need to decide how you want to ship your products (e.g. flat rate, free shipping, or real-time carrier rates) and which carrier you’ll use. This service doesn’t include shipping strategy or pricing advice.

Tax Settings
We’ll configure default Shopify tax settings based on your location.

🧾 You are responsible for knowing your tax obligations. We don’t offer tax advice or guarantee compliance.

Domain Connection
We’ll connect your domain to your Shopify store, whether it’s purchased through Shopify or a third-party provider.

User Access
We’ll help set up staff accounts (if your Shopify plan allows) so you and your team can log in and manage the store.

Google Analytics
We’ll integrate your Google Analytics account so you can track site traffic and performance. (You will need to have a Google Analytics account set up already – this service doesn’t include setting up a new Google Analytics account.)

FAQ

99% of the time I’ll recommend themes from the Shopify store based on your needs. These themes are professionally designed and flexible, so your store looks great and works well without needing custom code. Occasionally I'll recommend a theme from a Shopify theme developer who isn't in the Shopify store, but I vet these carefully and only use them to fit a particular need. We'll discuss your needs before I make my recommendations.

Once your theme is selected and installed, changing to a different theme will incur an additional cost, including the cost of the new theme. I encourage you to take your time reviewing the theme options we send before making your final choice.

Branding is not included as part of this service. I will be using brand assets you supply - your logo, fonts choices and colour palette.

You’ll need to provide all your content, including:

  • Product information (titles, descriptions, images, pricing, etc.)
  • Collection details
  • Page content (About, Contact, etc.)
  • Blog posts (if any)
  • SEO info like page titles and meta descriptions

I'll take care of adding it into your site - up to 30 pieces of content are included.

A “piece of content” is one of the following:

  • A product
  • A collection
  • A page
  • A blog post

So, for example, if you have 20 products, 5 pages, and 5 blog posts, that equals 30 pieces of content.

No worries - I can add more at an additional cost. Let me know what you need, and I'll provide a custom quote for the extra content implementation.

This is a template-based setup, which means I'll style and configure your theme using the options it provides. This is a great way to get a beautiful site up quickly and affordably. If you need custom design or features beyond the theme’s built-in options, we can chat about a more advanced package.

Yes! Part of this service includes setting up the core Shopify settings so you’re ready to sell. I'll help with:

  • Payment gateway setup (using Shopify-supported options)
  • Shipping settings 
  • Taxes
  • Domain setup
  • User access
  • Google Analytics integration

This package includes a store review period before launch so you can request any last tweaks (within scope). Ongoing support is available through my Back Pocket Expert service, which we can discuss based on your needs.
