What items are necessary to be reviewed and checked for an e-commerce store?

The list can be extensive and time-consuming if we are going to validate everything before launching. I am going to start with the BASIC must do items and some good practices to put into place for Shopify Stores for appeal and keeping people on your store - and allow you to sell.
