shopify for services hey guys welcome
back to the channel today we're going to
go over everything you need to know
about shopify what it is and how you can
use shopify to sell your different
services so let's get into it now the
first thing you might be wondering is
what a shopify and how do you sell
services on shopify well shopify is an
e-commerce platform where you can sell
anything that you might like so it might
be a service or a product but today we
are going to focus on how you can
actually sell your services on shopify
so i'm just going to log into my account
over here and you can see that i have a
basic account on shopify and what i'm
going to do is i'm going to actually
start by creating my inventory of
services so on your shopify account you
can see on your left that you have your
home page you have your orders you have
products customers finances analytics
marketing discounts and apps and the
first step to actually get started with
your business is usually to add your
products and because you're selling
services you're not going to have
products in the product section but
you're actually going to add services so
before we actually do that you can
actually go over the shopify dashboard
and see all the different features that
might be useful for you for in terms of
invoicing and marketing you get a quite
a few features for that as well and
within shopify you can see over here you
can manage your account and you can
create different stores as well so make
sure to click that link in the
description box down below to get
started with shopify so now to create
our store for our services let's say i'm
creating a therapy clinic so maybe i'm a
psychiatrist and i'm looking to create
my clinics online
online store or online
booking center so what i'm going to do
is i'm going to go into the product
section and i'm just going to click on
add product over here and what i'm going
to do is i'm going to add maybe
um
counseling
or anything like that so counseling and
then what i'm going to do is i'm going
to add a description for the service so
let's just say it is
a
one hour
session
um
excluding
client history and what i'm going to do
after that is you can add an image if
you want if you have a logo designed for
your service i would suggest you add
those and if you don't have logos
already um try to create a logo for your
service if an image is not suited for it
and after that you're going to add your
pricing so let's say that the price for
a single counseling session is
um 70
and i'm going to add that and after that
i am going to
add the stock if you want but obviously
you don't really need that so we're
going to remove these options we're
going to leave them empty and then
you're going to click on shipping and
then you're going to make sure you make
sure to
deselect this because this is not a
physical product this is a
actual service that you're providing so
after that what you're going to do is
you can see on your right over here you
have your active products are draft so
we're gonna add one active product and
then you can add any specific vendor
that you want but you can just add the
therapist's name if you want to do that
and after that you can add the product
type so uh whatever category this
product falls in you can add that as
well or product or service falls in
you're gonna add that as well now once
you do that you can see that in your
online store you have your default
product and you're just going to click
on save over here
and now my service has been created so
this is how easy it is to start adding
your
services onto your service list on
shopify and shopify has really
simplified the entire process for anyone
that would like to sell their services
online now with your service created you
can just follow up and create more
services as you go just like this just
like i just did but after that you need
to start doing a little more in terms of
your online store so you're going to go
into the online store section over here
and this is going to be your actual
storefront so you can choose to just go
on to the different team libraries and
explore the free themes that are
available on shopify and you can visit
their team store as well and you can
browse the paid themes and the free
themes if you don't know how to design a
website if you're not good with
coding or you don't know any know-how of
that you can definitely start off with a
theme so what you're going to do is
you're just going to click on explore
free themes and for your therapy clinic
or whatever i'm just going to browse
these free themes and what i'm going to
do
is i'm going to
look at a simplistic theme i don't want
this to be too crowded or anything but
this actually looks like a great theme
for a actual therapy clinic so i'm just
going to click on add to theme library
and after doing that i'm just going to
wait until
this has loaded onto my
dashboard and now i'm just going to
click on customize over here now once i
have clicked on customize you can see
that this is the basic uh empty template
that i just looked at now you can add
your titles and taglines as you go so
you're just gonna click on over here
then you can click on add title or
tagline so
we can do this over here so the
experience
or anything like that you can add a few
details about your clinic uh you can
definitely add some customer reviews if
people are already visiting your clinic
you can add their personal experiences
with your overall therapy center and now
with this you can also add images so
what you're going to do is you're going
to select image over here you're going
to click on upload an image
and i'm just gonna go into my downloads
and use this image that i got from stock
photos you can also click on free images
over here and use images from there as
well i already had this image so i just
went with that
but once i have done that i'm just going
to add the image you can move it around
if it's a larger image and we're just
going to click on select then what i'm
going to do is i'm going to go on the
text section and then i am going to
add some taglines like
therapy is
for everyone
whatever tagline you might have
but i think i'm just gonna leave it at a
singular sentence and once i have done
that i'm just going to i think this
looks pretty good so i'm just going to
leave this at that now on your header
you can also change how you want
everything to appear so you can add any
announcement on the header so what
you're going to do is you're going to
add text over here and
let's just say we are adding
clinic since
2012
like this
now what i'm going to do is
i'm just going to
change these things and i'm just gonna
go back
and
what i'm going to do is i'm going to
remove these sections
so what you can do is
you can just click on any section that
you might want to remove and you're just
going to click on the section and on the
bottom left you're going to find this
section called remove section
so i'm just going to remove these excess
sections that i don't really need
for my overall
website and once i'm satisfied with all
of that and i'm satisfied with how all
of it looks what i'm going to do is i'm
just going to click on publish and save
so
i'm just going to browse through and see
if there's anything else i would want to
change
and obviously you can manage your pages
from the top center over here as well
and make sure to click that a link in
