Our take

Based on the ratings of 10,853 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in September 2026. No course pays to be reviewed.

This is a short, click-along tour of building a Shopify store from an empty account to a working shop with apps for support, traffic, boosting sales and international sales. It runs about five hours across 79 lectures, and roughly 74,000 students have enrolled since it launched in 2017. It is aimed at people who have never opened Shopify and are not confident with anything technical. The "expert" in the title oversells it. Think "competent store builder" instead.

Reviewers like Tim Sharp's pace. He talks slowly, explains each screen before clicking through it, and one non-native English speaker says they followed everything without trouble. Several students say they built their store alongside the videos as they went. The complaints are consistent: the lessons are basic and introductory, and one two-star review calls them "mere overviews". Another says the material feels old, though the course page shows a refresh in September 2026. The rating breakdown backs the praise, with about 65 percent of 10,800 reviews at five stars and only 2 percent at one or two.

The course sits beside four dropshipping courses, and that is the real difference. Those teach a business model. This teaches the platform: store setup, checkout, apps, shipping abroad. People who want to run their own shop or take on client builds will find it the more useful starting point, and at five hours it is quick to finish. There are no quizzes or projects beyond the store built along the way. Worth taking as a first step, not as the expert training the title promises.

Best forComplete beginners who want to build a real Shopify store step by step, for their own shop or for clients.
Skip it ifYou already run a Shopify store, or expect the developer-level depth the word "expert" in the title implies.

Pros

  • Slow, clear pace that a non-native English speaker says they could follow without trouble
  • Builds a real working store, from first setup through checkout, apps and selling abroad
  • Refreshed in September 2026 after nearly a decade on Udemy, with 15 caption tracks
  • Free mentorship offer; a reviewer singles out Tim's "I am here to help anytime" reassurance

Cons

  • Lessons stay basic and introductory; a two-star review calls them mere overviews, not expert training
  • No quizzes, exercises or graded projects, just the store you build alongside the videos
  • Only about five hours, so the apps and marketing sections get a quick look rather than depth
He does a great job of simplifying complex topics without leaving out the important details, making everything much easier to understand for complete beginners like me.

Genuinely beginner: no Shopify or technical skills needed, but you will need a Shopify account to build and host the store along the way.

I'a a very clear course, very straighforward, with just the right deepth and range of topics so you get from knowing nothing to set a well prepared and working shopify site

By DSV Digital Management Corporation on 8/1/2026

I learned a lot from this course, and I really appreciate how the instructor keeps the lessons concise and easy to follow. He does a great job of simplifying complex topics without leaving out the important details, making everything much easier to understand for complete beginners like me. The explanations are clear, practical, and beginner-friendly, so I never felt overwhelmed while learning. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone who's just getting started with Shopify.

By Danilo Berboso on 7/27/2026

The course is excellent overall. However, most of the lessons are basic and introductory, making it a great starting point for beginners. While it provides a solid foundation, you'll need to pursue more advanced training and gain hands-on experience to develop expert-level knowledge and skills.

By Rahul singh on 7/5/2026

Its it is an excellent course which teaches you Shopify, from a beginner to an experienced person, on various aspects from scratch and gradually builds up step by step in a very graduated manner so that one becomes very much confident on Shopify. It's one of the best courses I have seen on Udemy. Thank you very much!

By Angela Towner on 5/26/2026

This was a very helpful course in setting up an eCommerce store on Shopify. The step by step instructions and knowledge of the instructor made the course easy to follow. He had great tips and insight, which was helpful.

By Noreen P Koster on 4/28/2026

fantastic- I really wanted to know a little more on products, like how you would set a field to be entered on a product for like a name - but ill see when we get to apps if its explained then

By Dr. Walt Janse van Rensburg on 4/20/2026

The course is structured in a great way, making it easy to understand and to complete. Grateful for all the resources and information. It was lovely to learn from Tim Sharp.

By Mzuvukile Zendile on 3/3/2026

I built my online store step by step by watching this. I love how it's broken down into different sections and the many tricks and links shared to master the tricks in those sections.

By Brian Leone on 2/5/2026

Good content and well organized. Only thing I would have liked to see was if there were some advanced subjects like maybe how to interface/write custom apps that shopify can use or how to update some of the page elements with custom HTML, etc.

By Mika Huibrechtse on 1/22/2026

Het was een prima curcus maar het had wel iets diepere inhoud mogen hebben. Ik ben wel wat wijzer geworden maar zeker geen expert. Hij heeft het niet gehad over dev stores en hoe je er echt een expert in word.
