Great video and thanks for the the tips. I appreciate you mentioning that you are not an affiliate and aren't being paid to endorse the big players. That is something super important to me because it makes it an honest review which is rare these days. With that being said, I strongly disagree with what you said about Shopifys customer support. In my experience it used to be really easy to get ahold of someone when issues popped up but now, it's next to impossible to get good customer service from them since they have outsourced it. They want you to figure things out on your own so they try and put you off by asking the community instead of them. They also remove support options like calling and chat when things get too busy for them. You would be extremely lucky to get them on the phone. I have also encountered several reps who seemingly could not careless about your questions and will conflate issues by being condescending when you are simply trying to learn. I was straight up lied to about the threshold fees they charge for shipping and they were able to walk away with tens of thousands of dollars in fees that I should never have had to pay and to this day I have never been able to talk to customer service about this serious issue. Like you mentioned, they nickel and dime you on everything and are not upfront. I think all of this is contingent upon how big your store is and how "worth it" you are to them. My 2 stores together are only doing about 150k a year in sales so I don't fall under the "worth it" category apparently. For these reasons I am ready to leave Shopify behind me and never look back, hence why I am here researching different platforms. Thanks again.

I love your no BS style - anyone that thinks ecommerce is a path to riches needs to think again. There are many moving parts and a lot of research is required to pick the right path - selecting the right product niche, picking winning products, finding the right store platform, understanding the options to drive traffic to your site, dealing with return problems and taxes - the list goes on and on. People need to understand that this is the same as any business - it is hard. I am about to take the plunge and dive into a (possibly) saturated market, but my startup investment will be less than $2k, so I am not over capitalising and I might actually learn something (hopefully I nail it first time, but I doubt it). I would encourage everyone to review the number of visits to their Store and, if the click throughs are high but you are not getting sales, then you need to carefully look at your niche, products and store presentation. If all of that looks OK, then move on to idea number 2 - it might take a while to hit the right formula. Great work from you though.

Thank you for this informative and concise video! Your presentation style is excellent.

Thank you I want to launch my own perfume brand in 2024 done with packaging and all the fun stuff was really trying hard to find a website to start selling on. This video answered my question. I have subscribed for more

[YourLocalHandyman]

Your communications style is great. I enjoyed watching this video. Do you have any other videos that pertain to payment gateways for WooCommerce specifically? Also, something that doesn't seam to get addressed is the turn around time between when a product or download sells, and the time when the payment fulfillment service releases the funds to the business selling the product or download. Any ideas on that?

[alejandrasantiveri]

Thanks for the video! What about Prestashop? There are hostings that include it for free and it seems easy to use. Also, would you please make a video about hostings? Which one do you recommend? And also one for emails since I noted that in some hostings emails a constant upgrade $$ needs to be made. Do you handle your emails through the one from the hosting or do you pay for a different service provider?

[rogerlondono]

Hello, Im currently using the free version in Ecwid. My wife and I are thinking of upgrading since it is easy to use. Have you reviewed it before?
