"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.
