Creating a Shopify development store is very easy and a great way to test changes to your site before making them live. Here are the steps you should take to create a development store.
Create a New Account: The first step is to create a new Shopify account. This can easily be done on the Shopify website.
Activate the Development Store: After you've created the account, you'll need to activate the development store. This can be done through your Shopify account.
Set Up the Development Store: After your development store is activated, you'll need to set it up. This includes adding a domain, setting up the payment, adding products, creating collections, and more.
Test Changes: Now that your development store is set up, you can start making changes and testing them out. This allows you to see how the changes will affect the store and if any problems arise.
Deploy to Live Store: Once you're happy with the changes, you can deploy them to the live store. This ensures that the changes are safe and won't adversely affect the store.
Hope that helps. If you have any further questions please feel free to reach out.
