Launching a Shopify store is exciting, but a rushed launch leads to broken payments, missing pages and lost sales. Work through this checklist so nothing slips past you on day one.
Before you go live
- Place a genuine test order to confirm payments work from start to finish.
- Check shipping rates, taxes and delivery options.
- Test the order and shipping confirmation emails.
- Review every page on a phone — most shoppers are on mobile.
- Publish the legal pages: privacy, terms, refunds and returns.
SEO and analytics
Connect Google Analytics and Search Console, submit your sitemap, and confirm each page has its own title and meta description. Add structured data to products so listings are eligible for rich results.
Trust and speed
Add reviews, trust badges and clear policies, then run a speed test and remove any apps you don't use. A calm, well-tested launch always beats a rushed one.
How we handle it
Codehouse runs a full pre-launch QA pass on every Shopify store we build, so you go live with confidence rather than crossed fingers.
