How to sell services on Shopify

Shopify began as an e-commerce platform focused on selling products. Today, Shopify has grown to the point of transforming into what they call "Unified Commerce," where they integrate everything a business needs into one place.

That's why you can sell anything on Shopify these days (well, it has its legal restrictions, don't get too excited).

So the answer is yes, you can definitely sell your services on Shopify with very little effort.

This guide is focused on service businesses that, in my opinion, are the most common:

Types of businesses:

How to Sell Your Services on Shopify

1. Add Service as a Product: Add your service as a product. Simply uncheck "This is a physical product" in the shipping section.
2. Customize with Third-Party Apps: Use apps to offer additional functionality and personalize the booking and appointment management experience.

For me, the app I've liked the most so far is Cowlendar Appointment Booking , but there are many more great ones too.

But why do I like this one:

1. They have a free plan
2. It is very easy to implement
3. It's at the top of the booking apps with the most and best ratings.
4. It has endless customizations and integrations
5. It has the Built for Shopify seal
