You’d need to get a permit first, and after that, you can open your online food store with Shopify. It’s an easy process.

You can also take advantage of Shopify’s many delivery options, the most convenient being same day delivery and pick-up. You can use Shopify's sales channels to promote your food on social media platforms.
Your food products deserve a wide audience. Launching an online store with Shopify gives your brand a home and customers a welcoming shopping destination. Connect your store to social media platforms and marketplaces to reach shoppers globally.

Shopify also gives you a 3-day trial period and a ton of resources to get started. Furthermore, if you already have a physical store, you can use Shopify POS to make in-person transactions and sync those with your online earnings.
