This has been the most helpful video when trying to consider ecommerce alternatives! Thank you very much!

Hey Paul, Fantastic video. I trully appreciate your points on product page points. It is huge decision maker for me. To be honest, who has the time and energy to learn this type backward product page features. I remember using 3dchart like 10+ years ago, they were combursom and they still are.

Thanks for the review. Trying to leave Magento and am really wanted to evaluate at all my options.

I clicked on an affiliate link and I was able to get in this afternoon! I’m very excited! Apparently, they’ve made some changes. I’ve been waiting for MONTHS for them to get back to me after trying to start with them directly on their site.

Hi Paul, thanks for sharing! Anyway I can get this free Plan from Canada? I'm not far from the boarder.

What platform will you recommend for an ecommerce that sell internationally with thousands of product? And we will need a lot of variations for each product. Thanks.

clicking the pricing tab a pop up tells me, "Not available out side of US"
I sent a message to support with my requirement's a week ago, never got a reply.
your clearly in UK how . Im from UK, living in the Canary Islands, and ideas mate??

Great Video, can I use shift4shop also for an online shop in Germany?

[joypadlad]

It sucks that people are saying that this site is free but it's not if you don't do over $500 per month in sales.

As a 17 year ecommerce seller, I'm frankly disgusted with Shift4Shop. They are not a reputable company. Charged me before I even had a chance to sign in at all- never used the site but they ghosted as soon as they took a fee for... obtaining my info? There's a lot of ecommerce sellers with the same issues- their billing dept does not take calls and does not respond to email. Resorted to filing with Attorney General and marking amount as fraud. Dishonorable and not at all about small business owners. I'll pay a little more if it means I'm not treated like US meal ticket to a scam.

So Like anything else in life, Yhe cheaper you want it, The MORE Work you have to put into it.
Makes sense,
BUT Also always, People want to stay in the Hilltop Villa at Motel 6 prices.

Shift4Shop is close. This is the message: Our new shop onboarding process is temporarily closed and will be reopened soon. What is other platform?

[MeMe-rnfz]

Thank you for reviewing their site I sign up and when i clicked the payment this is what I read. I don't know if I understand it right so if I can not sold items worth of $500 /month that does mean I pay less than $29 hosting fee? Did I understand it right? thank you.

Shift4 Processing
Get all the Bells & Whistles completely free as long as you agree to process $500 or more per month after the initial grace period of 60 days. If you do not meet the minimum of $500 per month you will be charged a flat $29 hosting fee for each of the months that you did not meet the minimum of $500.

[robjohnson]

Any idea why they have closed new signups and if this is a sign to stay away?

[bobblue_west]

Sounds really hard to use. I'll skip it. I was looking for a simple, free front end to Printful.

[boejiden]

Theres also quite a lack of support for shift4shop on the internet. I had to figure everything out on my own when I built my site. Its horridly difficult to find information to help even from them!

[dondireeves]

This video is not accurate at all because everything, I mean everything including your themes are customizable, every customizable without using, touching or changing the computer code. Click on Settings > then Store Settings and it opens up everything, the themes, the store, add personal pictures and slides for your displays, how your invoice looks, a brand, your logo, which credit cards, you can uploads pictures & documents as well.

[ChristopherMella-pl]

It's okay, but NOT good. It's not a knowledge based service. It's as little as possible...as few features as possible. For example, VERY old fashioned, knows numbers of clicks, but doesn't know who they even are - NOT knowledge based at ALL... Shift4shop is stuck in like 1995 - VERY out-of-date.

[letsRegulateSociopaths]

no one cares about what the store looks like as long as it is high quality...
