Hello all,

Im currently working on my own shopify website, I decided this since rates of developers are extremely high and I cant find a good developer

So decided to do it on my own and following tutorials. however just wanted to confirm the really necessary stuff for operations of the website, just so when people submit an order no issues would occur

Are things like cart return necessary?
I am currently working on email formats and adding product images
But what other things or tools are absolutely needed

Any help is welcomed and appreciated

Hi everyone,

I'm building an online store and would really appreciate some honest feedback before launch.

A few questions:

• Does the site look professional?
• Is anything confusing or missing?
• Would you feel comfortable buying from it?
• Any suggestions for improvement?

If anyone is willing to take a look, let me know in the comments and I can send the link privately.

Thanks for any constructive criticism.

Hi everyone,

I'm building a store called Little Calm Co, focused on calm, creative activities for kids ages 6–9.

I'm genuinely looking for honest feedback before launch.

I'd especially appreciate thoughts on:

• Does the homepage look professional and trustworthy?
• Are the products appealing and easy to understand?
• Is anything confusing or missing?
• Would you feel comfortable buying from this site?

If anyone is willing to take a look, I can share the website in the comments or by DM.

Thanks for any constructive criticism.

I have a clothing store and I'm looking to reduce my returns - a lot of customers have been returning their purchased items lately.

I have been looking for a quality virtual try-on shopify app, anyone knows a good one?

It feels like every e-comm tool now has some kind of AI feature. Some people are using ChatGPT for product descriptions, customer support, emails, and even product research. I've noticed platforms like Zendrop have started integrating AI into parts of the workflow too. For people who actually run stores, what's been genuinely useful versus just another feature to market and I'd love to hear about workflows that have actually saved you time instead of adding another tool to manage.

honest question for people who work on other people's stores — when you open a new client's shopify and look at the installed apps, what's the one you almost always end up removing?

for me it's usually an abandoned "speed booster" app that a previous dev installed and forgot about — half the time it's the thing actually slowing the store down. curious if there's a common repeat offender you all see too, or if it's different every time.

Hi everyone,

I'm building my clothing brand, LOCARD, and I've designed a completely custom website using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Claude Code instead of a standard Shopify theme.

I've uploaded it to Shopify, but I'm struggling to make it work properly with Shopify's backend.

I need help connecting it to:

• Shopify products
• Collections
• Product pages
• Add to Cart
• Cart
• Checkout
• Variants
• Search

I don't want to use a standard Shopify theme like Dawn. I want to keep my current design exactly as it is and simply make it work with Shopify.

I've attached a few screenshots of the website.

Has anyone done something similar before or have any advice on the best way to approach this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I had a 1300 dollar budget, and decided to buy a 1200 dollar printer ( professional grade ) to make fine art prints ( for designs that I make myself ), and spent another 100 dollar on the paper (A2). So I have absolutely no money left to buy web themes and run ads.
I do have 330 followers on insta ( paid, not organic ), and a domain name ( I bought on godaddy and later integrated with Shopify ). I have zero experience on how to design the website, and honestly words like POS, SEO and SMM sound like gibberish.
Do I even need to run ads for this type of product? If yes, then I’d highly appreciate books or courses to learn all this stuff
My expectations aren’t crazy, I just want 2-3 sales a day and I’m good
Genuine advice needed

I opened a shop at shopify selling dinnerware / home decor since October last year, i had only 2 sale. While at etsy and ebay i am selling. My question is what kind of help do i need to improve sale , is it web developer or ecommerce specialist? And if you used one that is cheap let me know too. Thank you
