Mike's Meats + Shopify
Five steps. That's it.
π½οΈ
Think of a restaurant
Mike's Meats is the dining room. Shopify is the kitchen and cash register in the back β you rent it, you don't build it.

Put it on Cloudflare β free
- Open a free account at cloudflare.com (5 minutes)
- Ask your Muse to walk you through it β you just type your email and a password
- Tell Muse: βPublish my site on my Cloudflareβ
π Need a website name? Search for one here:
- cloudflare.com β buy it in the same place your site lives (simplest)
- porkbun.com β cheap and simple
- namecheap.com β easy search, lots of choices
- About $12 a year β grab the .com if it's available
- The search tells you on the spot if a name is already taken
π Already checked for you (Oct 13):

You set up Shopify once β about 30 minutes
- It's a private dashboard, not a website
- Type in your products, prices, and photos
- Add your bank account so you can get paid
- You never design anything in Shopify
- Ignore the yourstore.myshopify.com page it creates

Connect the two
- Shopify gives you a βBuy Buttonβ code for each product
- Paste the codes to Muse
- Muse drops the buttons onto your site

Somebody buys
- They shop on your site
- They pay at Shopify's checkout
- Shopify runs the card and emails the receipt
- Money lands in your bank β the order shows in your dashboard

β¨ What's new: Muse Wonder β launched Oct 12
- Meta's smartest AI model yet
- Built for big, multi-step jobs β it plans the work, does it, and checks it
- Stronger at building websites and writing code
- Keeps a whole project straight from start to finish
- Still fast
- One catch: free Muse accounts run on the smaller Spark model β Wonder comes with a paid plan
π Your website does the showing.
π° Shopify does the selling.
π Your site never touches a credit card β that's why it's safe.
