You can get most of what you need for an online store into one folder and one spreadsheet. Use this checklist to gather the basics and test the buying process before you launch.
What to prepare
- Business details. Gather your logo, business name, contact email, phone or WhatsApp number, and social links.
- Product photos. Use clear photos of each product. Include a photo of each colour or style if customers need to see the difference.
- Product list. For each item, record the name, a short description, price in TTD, stock quantity, and any variants such as size or colour. Include package dimensions and weight if they affect shipping.
- Payments. Decide how customers will pay and confirm your merchant account is ready. Check the fees, payout timing and settlement currency. Compare online payment options.
- Delivery and pickup. Decide where you deliver, what you charge, and whether you’ll offer pickup. If you use ODeliver or another courier, have your account and pickup address ready. Read our delivery setup guide.
- Store policies. Write down how customers can request a return, exchange or refund and where they can get help with an order.
Place a test order before launch
Use a phone to browse the store, add a product to the cart and go through checkout. Check that the product price, discount and delivery charge are correct. Confirm that the customer and store get the right emails, stock updates correctly, and you know how to handle a cancelled order or refund.
See an example
We built The Vanity Factory, a wholesale packaging and beauty supply site. Its catalogue groups items by product type, so shoppers can go straight to the bottles, jars or other packaging they need. Use it as an example when deciding how to organise your own products.
