Shopify Store Launch Checklist

Launching a Shopify store is exciting — but a rushed launch causes broken payments, missing pages and lost sales. Use this checklist so nothing slips through on day one.

Before you go live

• Place a real test order to confirm payments work end to end.
• Check shipping rates, taxes and delivery options.
• Test order and shipping confirmation emails.
• Review the store on mobile — most shoppers are on phones.
• Add legal pages: privacy, terms, refund and returns.

SEO and analytics

Set up Google Analytics and Search Console, submit your sitemap, and make sure every page has a unique title and meta description. Add product structured data so your listings can show rich results.

Trust and speed

Add reviews, trust badges and clear policies, then run a speed check and remove any unused apps. A calm, tested launch always beats a rushed one. Experts Cabin runs a full pre-launch QA on every Shopify store we build, so you go live with confidence.
