Shopline is an ecommerce platform that helps you build and run an online store. This guide walks you through how to use Shopline from sign-up to selling: adding products, managing orders, customizing your store, and using apps to grow.
1. Create Your Shopline Store
Sign up at Shopline and choose your store name and plan. You’ll get a default store URL (e.g. yourstore.myshopline.com). You can connect a custom domain later in Settings → Domains.
2. Add Products
Go to Products → Add product. Enter the product title, description, price, and images. Use clear, high-quality images and descriptive copy to improve conversions. You can organize products with collections and tags to make navigation easier for customers.
3. Set Up Payments and Shipping
In Settings, configure payment methods (e.g. credit card, local payment options) and shipping zones and rates. Define your policies (refunds, shipping, privacy) and link them in your footer so customers know what to expect.
4. Customize Your Theme
Under Online Store → Themes, pick a theme and customize colors, fonts, and layout. Use the theme editor to adjust the homepage, product pages, and navigation. A clear, fast store builds trust and improves SEO.
5. Manage Orders
Orders appear in Orders. You can view details, update status (e.g. processing, shipped), and fulfill items. Keeping order status up to date helps reduce support questions and improves the post-purchase experience.
6. Install Apps
Shopline’s app store offers tools for reviews, analytics, marketing, and operations. For example, Reviewme helps you collect and display product reviews, and Salesme gives you sales and performance insights. Install apps that match your goals and review them periodically.
7. Launch and Promote
Before going live, test checkout and key flows. Then share your store link on social media, email, and ads. Use Shopline’s built-in SEO fields (titles, meta descriptions) and consider simple content (e.g. a blog or FAQ) to support discovery and trust.
Summary
Using Shopline effectively means: setting up your store and domain, adding and organizing products, configuring payments and shipping, customizing your theme, managing orders, and using apps to get reviews and insights. Start with these steps and refine as you learn what works for your audience.
