Or are you reselling “popular products” like smartphones or fashion accessories? The key is to understand your audience and choose products that meet their needs and spark interest.

Think of a “unique and memorable store name” that reflects your brand and is easy for customers to remember. This will be your domain name i.e. your store's online address. Once you've chosen it, check for availability and register it in your name.
