Learn more about selling records

  • If you’re someone who has been collecting vinyl records for some time, or you've found a great supplier, then you can start selling records online. The first step is to analyze your current record collection. Take pictures of your records and add them to your online store with detailed descriptions about the artists, labels, and songs as well as the condition of the packaging.

  • Use Shopify to set up an online store where you can sell your records. You can also list a few of your records on third-party websites or marketplaces and drive traffic to your Shopify store so that more visitors can see your collection.

  • Absolutely, Shopify makes it easy for you to set up a store where you can sell your records. You can include a search function to help your customers to find the specific records they want and navigate your collection. Contact forms can also be included in your store so that visitors can make requests and find out more information about new records you might be adding to your collection in the future.

  • Research is your friend when it comes to determining the price of your vinyl records. Dig into your competition to see the prices that other vinyl stores are currently charging. Once you have an idea about your competition, you can come up with your own pricing strategy to generate profits.
