How do you buy and sell, can you do in this order: 1. Launched your online store 2. A customer buys from you 3. You buy the product 4. You sell it to the customer or do you have to buy the product first?

Hi Rabenius, you can sell the product to the customer through the online store and then place an order with your vendor to provide the product. If you are outsourcing your products and having the vendor ship it to the customer on your behalf then you are using what we refer to as a "dropshipping" service. If that is the type of business you are interested in starting then our Blog is a great resource: bit.ly/3sOirMd.
Hey ma 😍
You make the best shopify coded Michelle!! The hardest thing for me is shipping? What go charge? I want to do a loyalty shooing but I’m not sure what to offer and I’m thinking free shipping on all orders over 35$ but should I. I not sell backpacks and stuff? Also, it takes so long to get the order from pro tuck will people want to buy if they have to wait 1-2 weeks to get it?
@learnwithshopify

Great questions! Finding a balance between shipping times and cost is certainly a balancing act. My best piece of advice would be to experiment with different shipping costs to determine that sweet spot where it's not too expensive or cheap for the customer. One thing you can do is offer lower shipping costs, and bake the cost of shipping into your product's pricing. That way the customer doesn't feel they are paying an unnecessary amount for shipping, and your new product price helps cover the lower cost. - Dirk

There are a number of reasons people might not be buying from you. You should look at your Shopify and Google Analytics to make a more informed guess based on how your traffic behaves. If you have a high bounce rate-that is, visitors coming to your site and leaving immediately-your traffic might be low quality or your store might take too long to load. If none of your visitors added products to their cart, it might be that you haven’t achieved market fit, in which case you need to find the right niche or try different products. If you have a lot of abandoned carts during checkout, maybe you need to reconsider your shipping costs. The problem could also be with the design and user experience of your online store, or with the copy on your website.
