The Ecommerce Launch Checklist

10 things every online store needs before going live -- the same list we work through on every MAXXCommerce build.

What's inside:

  • 1
    Professional Domain Name Your brand's home on the web -- choosing it right matters.
  • 2
    SSL Certificate (HTTPS) Required for payments. Required for Google. Non-negotiable.
  • 3
    Mobile-Responsive Design 60%+ of shopping happens on phones. Your site must work everywhere.
  • 4
    High-Quality Product Photos Customers can't touch your products. Photos do the selling.
  • 5
    Complete Product Descriptions Size, weight, materials, compatibility, warranty -- answer it all.
  • 6
    Payment Gateway Tested Stripe, PayPal, or both. Test declined cards, refunds, everything.
  • 7
    Shipping Rates Configured Surprise costs at checkout are the #1 reason carts get abandoned.
  • 8
    Legal Pages in Place Privacy policy and terms. Required by payment processors and Google.
  • 9
    Contact Page with Real Info A phone number and email builds more trust than any badge.
  • 10
    Analytics Connected Google Analytics + Search Console. Set up on day one -- always.

"We went through the checklist before our launch and caught three things we'd missed. Worth every minute."

-- Sarah M., kitchen goods store owner

Why does this matter?

Most new online stores launch missing at least 2-3 of these items. The result: lost sales, payment problems, or a site Google won't rank. This checklist takes 30 minutes to work through and can save months of headaches.
