Soft Launch within Quick Time
Launching a website can be stressful and overwhelming. It doesn't matter whether it's a Public Store or a Private store for your end users/clients.
How you launch your site is what will determine how quickly it takes off and starts working for you. These steps will give you a game plan for what you need to do to Soft launch your site so that you can avoid some of the problems most client face:
1. Product setup (Key products which provide 80% of revenue):
With Pricing:
If you have product images and descriptions along with product pricing then your 8-10 Popular products are enough to mark your presence. Add products that are in high demand and launch your website. To configure various types of products, please use the link provided below: Ref: https://docs.onprintshop.com/getting-started/setup-and-configure-products Simultaneously, the rest of the addition of products task will be in continuation.
With Product setup, make sure to take care of Product weights, SKUs, and Production Days.
Without Pricing:
For instance, if you only have Images and descriptions but no pricing then we recommend going with the "Quote Price" option.
- Feature your products with captivating images and detailed descriptions
- Use a "Quote" product option to invite inquiries and requests for pricing
Don't let a lack of pricing hold you back from launching your online store. Use the same method as the following reference link to add your products without pricing and get your store up and running.
Please check out the video below which provides a helpful guide on how to add quotes from the admin.
