Most people who want to sell online never start — not because they lack a product or motivation, but because they assume building a professional store requires a web developer, weeks of work, and thousands of dinars. That assumption is wrong. With Shopium, you can go from zero to a live, professional, mobile-optimised store in the time it takes to watch a movie.
This is a step-by-step walkthrough of exactly how to do it.
Step 1 — Create Your Account
Sign up for a free trial
Go to shopium.tn and click "Start Free Trial." Enter your name, email, and a password. No credit card required. You'll be inside your dashboard in under 60 seconds.
2 minutesStep 2 — Choose and Customise Your Template
Pick a template that fits your product
Shopium's template library includes professionally designed layouts for fashion, electronics, cosmetics, home goods, food, and more. Select one that matches your category. Every template is mobile-first and optimised to convert Tunisian shoppers.
3 minutesCustomise your brand colours and fonts
In the template editor, set your brand colour (your primary button colour, accent, etc.), choose from available font pairs, and upload your logo. If you don't have a logo yet, the text-based option works perfectly for launch.
5 minutesStep 3 — Add Your Products
Upload products with photos, description, and price
Click "Add Product," upload your photos (up to 8 per product), write a description, set your price in DT, and configure stock quantity. Use Shopium's AI description generator to write compelling copy automatically if needed.
10 minutesStep 4 — Configure Delivery
Connect your delivery partner
Go to the Delivery section in your dashboard. Activate AFEX, Navex, or FDG — whichever you have an account with — by entering your API credentials. Once connected, your orders will automatically generate shipping labels and track delivery status from your dashboard.
5 minutesStep 5 — Go Live
Publish your store
Click "Publish Store." Your store is immediately live at your Shopium subdomain (yourstore.shopium.tn). You can connect a custom .tn or .com domain from your dashboard settings at any time. Share your store link on your social media and start taking orders.
2 minutesWhat to Do Right After Launch
- Share your store link to your WhatsApp contacts and Facebook profile immediately
- Create an Instagram and Facebook page for your store and post your first product
- Set up one abandoned cart recovery email in the Marketing section
- Place a test order yourself to verify the full checkout flow works correctly
- Connect Google Analytics or Facebook Pixel to start tracking visitors from day one
The hardest part of launching an online store is not the technical setup — it's overcoming the mental barrier of "I'm not ready yet." The truth is, a live store with 5 products is infinitely more effective than a perfect store that never launches. Build in public, iterate fast, and let your customers tell you what to improve.
