Welcome to Day 4 of our “Shipping in 5 Days” Course!
If you’ve been following the daily tasks of the course, by now you should have your webstore almost ready for launch, your shipping materials on the way, and your payment gateway and shipping settings set up. That’s quite a lot to get done in 3 days!
Today, we’ll cover how to test your online store to make sure everything’s working properly, and the final steps to making it live to the world! You’re actually almost done with the computer aspect of launching your farm online. Tomorrow will be mostly about setting up your shipping system and announcing your new online store to the world!
First, click here for today’s free printout to download.
So let’s get started. Begin by watching the video below, then go through the checklist after the video on how to set up these things. As always with these videos, it’s best to play the video on your phone or something while directly following along on your desktop and pausing when you need to!
