🧪 Module 4 · Workflows

Store workflows end-to-end

Catalog work is a workflow, not a one-off chat: export → transform → import carefully → verify. Encarnacion appears only as the case study — steps are store-agnostic.

Module: store workflows end-to-end

✨ Public teaser

What free visitors need to know

Module 4 turns real ops history into reusable Shopify workflows: catalog CSV/pricing (including DSers cost rules), theme/homepage edits, and SEO hardening — without dumping secrets or full tutorials here.

  • Workflow, not chat

    Export → transform (cost/price/order) → delete-or-overwrite carefully → import → verify.

  • Pricing rule of thumb

    Keep DSers Cost; retail ≈ cost × 1.33; compared-at ≈ 200% of retail — then cheapest variant first.

  • CSV footguns

    Importing a redirect file as products creates junk listings; overwrite-matching-handles is dangerous on the wrong file.

  • Theme + SEO via Admin

    Title tags, collection SEO, short handles + redirects can ship through Admin API — not only the theme editor.

  • Image Src survival

    Image Src must point at live URLs — deleted Shopify CDN paths fail on reimport.

  • Handle demo idea

    Before/after short handles + a “redirect CSV ≠ product CSV” warning card.
