Shopify Basics Badge – Individual Assignment

In this assignment, the students will create their own Shopify e-commerce store with minimum
of 7 products, grouped in at least two collections (categories).

Each student who receives at least 65% on the assignment, will receive Shopify Basics badge for
the pre-launch setup of an online Shopify store. This badge gives the students experience in
building an appealing store catalogue, customizing their website, and creating additional
website content. The store is not launched to the public and each student performance will be
evaluated through the following elements:

 Products
 Homepage and Theme
 Additional Website Content

have a name of store, but it can be changed later.
