How to Use Build Store 2.0

Written by James Dropship Support

Build Store 2.0 is the fastest way to launch a ready-made Shopify store with winning products, sleek design, and optimized content.


Access the Build Store Tool

You can find the Build Store 2.0 feature on the left-hand side by clicking on "Build Store" in the control panel or connect directly to app.dropship.io/build-store.


Here’s a clean breakdown of how the Build Store tool works and what you need to do at each step:

Step 1 — Choose your store’s niche

Pick the category that best matches what you want to sell:

  • Fashion & Apparel

  • Electronics

  • Home & Garden

  • Pets

  • Sport & Fitness

You can select one niche only. Once you've made your choice, the Continue button will become active.


Step 2 — Choose your banners

You'll see 6 banner designs tailored to the niche you selected.

  • Pick 2 banners you like best.

  • Once you've selected 2, the Continue button will unlock.

  • Changed your mind? Simply deselect a banner to choose another.

Your selected banners will be displayed on your store's homepage.

Step 3 — Claim Your Store

Your store is ready!

We've created your Shopify store for you. Click Claim Your Store to make it yours, and we'll bring you right back here to complete the launch.

What happens next?

Claiming your pre-built Shopify store only takes a few seconds:
