About this course

Why students take this

Shopify is the e-commerce default for serious online stores in Pakistan and abroad. This cohort focuses on building, customising, and managing Shopify stores at a level where you can run an agency on top of it.

You will master theme customization (with and without Liquid), app integration, payment + shipping setup for Pakistan and international, conversion-rate optimisation, and dropshipping vs. real-inventory flows. We end with a real client brief — graduates have shipped paying stores by week 6.

You'll learn to

  • Customize themes with Shopify's editor and Liquid template language
  • Set up payments (Stripe, JazzCash, COD), shipping zones, taxes
  • Install + configure the apps that actually matter
  • Optimise the funnel: cart, checkout, upsells, abandoned cart recovery
  • Run a Shopify store as a side business or freelance offering
