Launching something new in Shopify? This walkthrough shows the full setup flow for a first product and a launch discount—then how to test it before launch day.

In the video, you’ll see how to:

• add a product
• upload product media
• set the price and save
• confirm the product is active and in stock
• create a discount code in Discounts
• set the code value and save it
• preview the online store
• add the product to cart and apply the code at checkout

The key step is the final check: testing the discount at checkout so you can confirm the order total drops before customers see the offer.

If you’re setting up a launch for the first time, this is a simple way to make sure both the product and the promotion are ready to go.

## A simple Shopify setup walkthrough for first-time launches

If you’re getting ready to launch a new product in Shopify, it helps to verify both the product listing and the discount before customers start shopping. This video walks through that full process from start to finish.

You’ll see how to add a product, create a launch discount, and test the offer at checkout so you can confirm everything is working before launch day.

## What the video covers

The walkthrough starts in Shopify with the product setup flow. First, it shows how to click **Add product**, upload new media, set the price, and save the product.

Once saved, the product appears in the product list as active and in stock. From there, the video moves to the launch offer setup.

In **Discounts**, it shows how to choose **Create discount**, enter the discount code, set the discount value, and save it. After that, the code appears as active and applies an amount off the entire order for all customers.

## Why the test step matters

The final part of the video focuses on validation. It previews the online store, adds the product to cart, and applies the code at checkout.

That test confirms the discount is working as expected: the order discount appears and the total drops. It’s a practical final check before launch, especially if this is your first time setting up both a product and a promotion in Shopify.

## What first-time users can take away

This is a straightforward how-to for anyone who wants to follow the basic launch flow in Shopify:

- add a new product
- make sure it’s live and in stock
- create a launch discount code
- test the code at checkout before launch day
