What I like to do is create a text doc, and so that's right here. I've already captured all of the information that I know I want to bring over. Like I've decided okay, these are the things I want to have in my nerve, these are my categories. This is what my about section is going to say, and then I copied all the announcement wording just into a new TextEdit document. I have a Mac and TextEdit is already installed. I went up to file, new, and then I went up into format, make plain text, and then just pasted on here. That trips up any like bolding or large words or strange formatting. It makes it much easier to paste into online store. Then I also gathered up photos, like what she wants to use in her about section. There's this cute picture. Her header image she is saying we could either use this one or this one which is just a creative common zero image. She's snagged off her pixels just temporary. Then her logo, size to fit for online store which I already knew ahead of time, but you'll see when you're in there that it has to be 400 pixels wide by 150 pixels tall, and then a few images to start with. A quick trick for images, of course, I have always images filed somewhere. You might be Dropbox or Google drive or an external hard drive or whatnot, but another quick way that you could just gather images, just to go super-fast, is to click on a product and then click on zoom and then you get the large view of the image. You can right-click and go to save image as, and then just save it to your desktop and rename it or whatever. That's a fast way that you could it. Now it might be compressed, so it might look fuzzier than you want it to. In that case, you probably do want to go back to your original, but if you don't mind or if it looks fine to you then I think that's a great way to go. All of her listings have several images in them and there is this end curve which is on all of them which just encourages you to purchase. I have saved all of that and then to this folder and the end curve. Okay. Gathering those things ahead of time will just really help you out. I'm going to close these preview windows. Let's go back to our getting started guide. Let's go ahead and go into business information area. I don't need to add a phone number now. I'm happy with the email address, United States is correct, United States followers correct, U.S., month date. That's all fine, so I'm going to hit save, and you see a success message. I'm not going to worry about what's put in the search engine, title, and description area right now but you're certainly welcome to do that. Go back to getting started. Since I had already clicked into these earlier, it thinks that they're completed but we have to go through and complete each one. The next line item here is products but I'm going to skip that for now because I think that's the most time consuming. Let's go into payments. We've automatically PayPal. It thinks that the email address I entered earlier is the PayPal address which could be true, I don't know. This is also an opportunity to add Stripe or decide to pay some other way. No need to change any of that. Go back to getting started. Shipping. It says no shipping method yet. I know that Ashley uses flat rate per order, so I'm going to click add and it is a fixed amount of $3.25. I think she has some shipping information that she writes in here which is ready to ship in 3 to 5 business days. She ships to these countries, so right now we're just going to limit it to the United States. We'll click on that. All the states is fine, and hit save. Nice. Now shipping is set up, back to the getting started guide. Tax, I'm not going to worry about filling that out right now. You'll have to figure that out for yourself. I am not a tax expert. Store design, but we know we had already picked our theme, so we're good to go there. Okay. Now let's start entering these theme settings. Under header, we're just going to leave this part blank. We don't need a tagline. …
