9 Best Shopify Tools for New Entrepreneurs
#1 Exchange
The Shopify tool, Exchange, is most popularly known as the tool you use to buy and sell online stores. You can browse stores for sale based on a variety of features such as price, monthly revenue, site age, business type and more. If you’re just starting out, you can buy a store from Exchange so that you can hit the ground running with marketing.

You can also browse sold stores to see what types of stores people are interested in buying. But a feature you might not know about for this Shopify tool is that when you install their app on your store, you can find out how much your store is actually worth. Exchange calculates your store’s value based on a variety of factors such as how much money you’ve made and more.

Most store valuation tools don’t factor in how much money your store has made as they don’t have access to the data which can make them much less reliable than Exchange. By installing the app, you don’t have to sell your store.

So if you’re selling makeup brushes or fashion, you’ll find quality images you can use for your banner images, ads and other marketing materials. Some of the products you’ll find on Oberlo have stock photography for the same product on Burst, which means you don’t have to resort to generic photos.

Plus, their collection of stock photos have models that represent various ethnicities, values, genders and more so your imagery can represent your diverse customer base. And one last thing, if you can’t find the perfect picture on Burst, try searching for the same image a few weeks later — they prioritize their photoshoots and upload schedules based on user search data.

While you can buy your domain name from another provider, set-up is easier when you buy your domain through Shopify directly. You won’t need to point your domain name from another provider to Shopify, which can be a bit confusing if you’re just starting out. Buying your domain name from Shopify keeps the process easy.
