About this course
Themes, catalog, checkout, and day-to-day store operations.
Walk through setting up a merchant account, structuring collections, configuring shipping and taxes at a basic level, and choosing apps wisely.
We also touch theme customization boundaries so you know when a no-code tweak is enough versus when to involve a developer.
