Shopify vs. WooCommerce // Why I Switched to Shopify

I have been on Shopify for 3 months now, after having spent over 2 years selling on WooCommerce. This video breaks down all the reasons why I switched to Shopify and why I am loving it so much. (Hint: it's wayyy easier!)

This video is 100% my honest feelings. (No sponsorships or affiliates!) I just really am that happy we switched over.

It would be interesting to see an update after 2 years using shopify

I just wanted to thank you for this video because I’m a small business graphic & web designer and you talked about the struggle I’ve been having because I’m starting my new e-commerce store and you helped me make my decision easy. Thank you!!

Been thinking about jumping ship on woocommerce, constantly dealing with issues with integrations breaking as a small business owner I have better things to do with my time then fixing the site

Thank you for this in-depth video of your experience with both platforms. I am setting up shop and I was really looking into the wp woocommerce package, but I halted because I know zero code, and I don't have the time to dedicate towards maintaining a website. I considered Shopify in the beginning, but I heard horror stories of people getting their shops shut down.

Okay - super helpful. Thank you for the clarity. Will be saying goodbye to WordPress after 15 years of constant struggle and frustration! 😊

OMG...I am having the same issue and I haven't made $1 yet. Gonna switch to Shopify.

OMG you are Godsent thanks so much for the information. I started my website on Wordpress a few months ago and unfortunately the constant plugins updating and the site breaking after the updates especially Elementor. I have had to hire a developer to make sure the site runs fine after updates and is costing me money I don't really have to spend on a website and frankly it takes too much time to keep it up. It is not for someone who is not tech savvy and Shopify seems soooo much easier. You just convinced me to switch. Thanks so much for this video really, really, appreciate it.

Hi Andrea, I noticed your video was posted 2 years ago. I'd love to hear what your current experience is with Shopify and if you'd had other issues since?

[markusschulze]

did your conversion rate increase after the move to shopify?

[lifeasdaedae]

Hi I’m trying to switch my website over too Shopify and just get rid of Wordpress myself because it is confusing for me to be a small business

[dayanamgc]

Hi! Te video is super useful because I’m planning on moving to Shopify. How did you transfer your website from woo commerce to Shopify? (I’m afraid of losing everything)
Thanks!

[microbiogrow]

Loved your video. Thank you for your insights. So helpful to get honest off the cuff experience.

[solo-jv]

Thanks for the honest review. What about moving all your products, any redirects, how did you manage with collections, the change of payment provider as in stripe I presume and so on?

Thank you soo much for being so honest and insightful!!

[PhuPhillipTrinh]

did you have to use a migration service to get to shopfiy? What was the hardest part during the switch? Thanks for sharing your experience I'm really dumbfounded on this question after using woocommerce for over 8 years! I'm just afraid to lose my SEO as i'm ranked very highly for my niche

[maysamabeauty]

It was so useful to hear your first hand experience. Thank you so much!

[randomizedSeed]

Why did woocommerce break all the time? Was something related with updates? Isn't there any managed service for woocommerce that "just work"?

[Kaykonvo]

Would you still recommend Shopify? I’m in Wordpress but would love the ease of use.
