There's a girl named Marie living in a small town named Elkhart who designs and sells handmade bags in her free time. She already has a full-time job that keeps her busy, and she sells these bags as a side hustle.

Earlier she was only selling bags among friends, family, local communities, and art fairs but in the past couple of months, she saw that there's an uptick in demand and now finds herself spending roughly 20-25 hours a week taking orders, designing, sewing and shipping the beautiful bags.

Due to the surge in demand, she wants to outsource some of the tasks like packing, shipping, and collecting payments so she can focus more time on designing and sewing the bags.

In short, she has been looking for a way to streamline the entire process of accepting orders, receiving payments, and getting it fulfilled.

Marie is not a businessperson and does not know how fulfillment works, but she's keen to try out a solution that will take care of all the things mentioned so she can devote more time to expand her business.

This is where Shopify comes in.

Shopify enables sellers like Marie to set up an e-commerce store by helping them overcome all the hassles that they would otherwise run into if they were building their own store from scratch.
