so Shopify has been exploding for the
last couple months and a common question
I get is whether you can sell services
and intangible things on Shopify things
that aren't necessarily physical
products and the short answer is
absolutely yes whether you want to sell
an e-book whether you want to sell the
service you can definitely use Shopify
as a medium for you to sell your service
or your digital product or whatever it
is so in this video I'm going to talk
about how exactly you can do that so if
you are selling a service let's say you
were doing website design services
there's something that you can easily do
here you can go to products on the left
hand side you can click add product and
then what you're gonna do is you're
gonna deselect the this is a physical
product so basically you're saying that
no this is not physical this is a
digital product or this is a service
okay and once you have done that
something really cool that you can do is
you can add variants so what I recommend
you to do is click the add variant
button and let's say for selling
websites you know you charge a certain
amount for one page but then each
additional page is more money so you can
set that in the set that up in the
variants let's say 1 2 3 and each page
cost a little bit more amount of money
so then when you go to the preview it'll
actually like depending on which one you
select the price will automatically be
updated so that is an easy way you can
customize packages and charge more
depending on what type of package they
want and what's great about this is
Shopify will use their existing process
for you know payments everything so you
don't need to worry about sending
invoices or or doing what you did before
the customer can select what package
they want they can easily check out and
enter their credit card information then
the order will be sent to you where you
can see the exact variants they selected
the exact package that they want and
based on that you can send them an email
and you can communicate with them from
there now let's say that you aren't
selling a service but you're selling
some sort of digital product or maybe
you are selling a service but you want a
digital product delivered when they
purchase I'm an easy way to do that is
to go to this Shopify app store search
for digital downloads and it'll allow
the customer to digitally download a
file once they place their order which
is I know something a lot of you may be
interested in so let's talk about how I
would set this up and how I have
actually done this I didn't you Shopify
for this I use the WooCommerce for this
but the same exact
the Shopify so what I did is I want to
unsplash and I found an image
representing my service you know I
typically sell websites so I found an
image of a website and I use that as the
product image then what I do is take
some pictures of yourself or maybe if
you have testimonials from clients make
that into an image format you know put
the quote and then put a nice background
or put their image and I would recommend
putting all of those in the product
image area and then put some
testimonials in the description or put
some prior links prior experiences maybe
attach a link to your portfolio so that
people can click on that and visit that
and get some more information on the
service that you are providing and then
of course they can select which package
they want based on the variance which I
talked about before they can place their
order and you can communicate with them
after that so that is the workflow that
I typically do so in conclusion
absolutely yes you can sell services on
Shopify I recommend you to streamline
your processes like it's getting really
painful to have to like send invoices
and do all this manual work but with
Shopify are worth existing ecommerce
platforms people think it's limited to
products no absolutely not you can sell
services on there virtually all types of
businesses can be on shop-line can be on
these e-commerce platforms so I
recommend you try to streamline your
services and save time because
ultimately time is money all right thank
