Launching Your Store

Congratulations on deciding to create your own online store! Even though these days it is easy to simply rent a selling space on a popular marketplace, you have still come to realize that having your own online store is a completely different level of business. Well, we believe you are on the right track, and that is why we are ready to guide you on how to truly become the owner of your own online store.

The first thing you need to understand is the main principle: the owner of their own store keeps the key aspects under personal control. What does this mean? It means that if раньше you, as a business owner, relied on specialized programmers or rented ready-made platforms, now you need to take care of the key things yourself. You are moving into a different, higher league, and that is wonderful!

What are these key aspects? For an online business, there are only two: the domain name and your own server. Of course, you may start worrying, expecting difficulties, and try to delegate this to specialists. But that would be a mistake. The domain name and your own server are fundamental concepts. Naturally, you cannot handle everything yourself, and as your business grows you will work with lawyers, programmers, marketers, and so on. But keeping control of the domain and the server is absolutely essential — they are literally the keys to your business.

We have good news for you: we designed Melbis Shop in a way that makes it as easy as possible for you to get started in e-commerce. So, let’s begin and outline your action plan for launching your online store:

We have placed each of these steps into a separate documentation section, where we have tried to explain and demonstrate everything clearly.

We wish you a successful business!
