Is creating a Shopify store without coding experience achievable?

[Alice45]

I’m completely new to Shopify and don’t have any coding background, though I’ve worked with Magento websites before.

Can I realistically get a basic Shopify plan and create a solid online store? What kind of timeline should I expect for this project?

I’m working with a graphic designer who will handle all the visual content like banners and product images. My job will be setting up the store, configuring everything, and getting it ready to launch.

We’re planning to use one of their standard themes along with their built-in checkout system and payment options. Most of the functionality we need appears to come standard with Shopify, so I don’t think we’ll need extra apps.

One thing I’m wondering about is customer returns - do they have a built-in system where customers can submit return requests? Or would I need to find a separate solution for that?

Also, does anyone know about good hosting providers for Shopify that might offer setup assistance for beginners?

Any advice would be helpful!

shopify is easy to use, especially if ur familiar with magento. for returns, check out return magic or aftership since they offer a smoother process than what shopify has. setting it all up is quite simple too! u might need 2-3 weeks if ur working part-time.
