12 Things You Can Sell on Shopify

What comes to your mind when you think about Shopify? 

Shopify is often associated with t-shirt shops or maker shops. You're probably thinking of physical products, small businesses that create and curate goods for sale in stores or shipping around the globe.

When we refer to "product", we don't mean tangible products. Shopify is being used by many merchants to sell just about anything and everything. Shopify offers many business opportunities beyond the traditional selling of physical products.

Consider the intangible if you are just beginning your entrepreneurial journey.

Although online shopping has made it easier to purchase shoes, in-person appointments are still the best way to ensure that you get the right fit. Traditional appointments were part of the sales strategy for salons and spas. However, stores that offer customization in clothing and jewelry have started to use these in-person sessions to better communicate with customers and create the products they want.

2. Memberships

Memberships


A simple app allows organizations like the California Native Plant Society to sell memberships on Shopify. Memberships are similar to subscription boxes and rely on a recurring payments setup.

Services and other intangible goods are interesting because they can be a part of your online business but also make a great addition to physical products businesses. As many of these examples show, both categories can be sold in one Shopify store.

Find your first opportunity by paying attention to the reasons customers are buying your products today. Then, find ways to make it easier or faster for them to achieve the result they desire. The same principle applies if you are looking to add a physical product or service to your business.

If you aren't shipping physical products from Shopify, you might need to disable shipping settings or configure email templates to fit your business.
