Here's short version for anyone

Why to choose Wordpress
1- If you are a bit techy and know about CMS choose Wordpress
2- If you have less money choose Wordpress
3- If you want more customisation

Why to choose Shopify
1- If you are a complete beginner and just want to start out

Remember Shopify owns your store, not you, so they can shut it down or do whatever they want with it.

Shopify pricing it's absurd, i'm an enterpreneur from Brazil and the price of Shopify it's 4x converted to the Brazilian economy.

Hi Hogan, stumbled upon your video. Your analogy of a furnished apartment vs. an unfurnished apartment is great.
Was going to go with Shopify until I saw your video. From what I have read from other comments- Shopify shutting down an online store for no reason at all does not sit well with me. The idea of having your own website/ecommerce store is just that. It's yours.
Thanks!!

Problem with shopify is that it's hard to customize the looks. All the shopify sites have same looks. I closed my shopify store because I was very annoyed with the design limitation.

I need to move to woocommerce, I tried Shopify, created a store and then my account got banned without any warning or any valid reason, I didn't do anything wrong. I don't even started marketing yet. Such a tragic and complete waste of time.

I learned much in a short time. Thank you.

Hey Hogan. Jethro here from South Africa. Thank you for your videos. You communicate clearly and in an unbiased fashion. All the blessings to you man. I've subscribed and will be watching more of your videos as I set up my online shop with WP and Woo. Peace :)

[GraceAnastasia]

Now I’m super confused 🙈🙈 on what one to pick!

A really well-explained video, thank you, Hogan! x

I've heard it's best to use WordPress.org because once you start it, it's yours. I purchased an extension website and lost it in cyber space. Contacted the company and they hv no history of it. So does it matter in that case to have a WP site?

I just want to sell hair extensions. Don't hv time to spend on building a site.

Thanks for the video. I've used both WP and shopify but not WP with woocommerce. WP & woocommerce sounds like the best option for me since I already know how to navigate and build pages.

[CarolEscher]

I really liked your review! Still deciding, but I think I’ll be choosing Wordpress :)

[piterpan]

what about WIX vs SHOPIFY? Which one is better? I am trying to decide best option for my CDB products shop. anybody can help ?

[puritysubliminals]

Can I start my ecommerce business on a cheap hosting site like namecheap then migrate to siteground when my business grows?

[gypsyjane]

Hey I may have missed it... if I get a hosting website I need to get Wordpress and woocommerce? I’m phasing away from Shopify, although my first store will still be on Shopify and my second store will hopefully be on woocommerce. Is woocommerce and word press free plug ins? And are both of them necessary for an small ecommerce biz?

[JUitterhoeve]

Thank you for this review, i will stick with WooCommerce for my next shop :)
