Once the creativehub Shopify app is installed, both your creativehub and Shopify accounts will be linked.<\/p>\n<h4>Step 5: Import creativehub products to your Shopify store<\/h4>\n<p>Once you have applied sales settings to your files (Step 2) you can import the products to your Shopify store. To do this go to your &#x27;Product list&#x27;, located in &#x27;Art store settings&#x27; &gt; &#x27;Product list&#x27;. Next, import your products. When clicked, the product will import to your Shopify products list. From here, make available and you are ready to sell.<\/p>\n<h4>Step 6: Add a payment card to enable order fulfilment<\/h4>\n<p>When you sell a print in your Shopify store, the customer will pay you the full amount via your chosen payment method, which can be configured in the main settings in Shopify. You&#x27;ll then be debited separately by us for the production &amp; shipping costs. There must be a linked bank card in your creativehub account to be able to make this payment.<\/p>\n<p>To do this, click your profile icon in the top right of the page and select &#x27;Art store settings&#x27; from the dropdown menu, then click &#x27;Payment settings&#x27;.<\/p>\n<h4>Step 7: Drive traffic to your store<\/h4>\n<p>Now you&#x27;re all set up to drop ship art prints with Shopify. When one of your prints sells, we handle fulfilment and ship the print directly to your customer. Then it&#x27;s time to think about driving traffic to your online store.<\/p>\n<h4>Run a time-limited print drop<\/h4>\n<p>As an alternative to individual products, you can run a <strong>print drop<\/strong> \u2014 a countdown sale page with your products and a dedicated store page, with a start and end date to create urgency.
