1. Market Research & Niche Selection
Before you touch a line of code, validate the market:
- Identify demand: Use tools like Google Trends, Ahrefs, and Amazon bestseller lists to spot product categories with rising search volume in India.
- Assess competition: Search for similar Shopify stores. Note their pricing, branding, and customer reviews.
- Profitability check: Calculate Cost of Goods Sold (COGS), shipping, and Shopify fees. Aim for at least a 30‑40% gross margin.
