About Shopify
For new businesses wanting an easy e-commerce website there are only two big players – Shopify provides drag and drop simplicity, proven templates and an easy to use back-end which makes running a digital store a breeze. The other is WordPress running WooCommerce – and while it’s getting better it’s more suited to people with a degree of coding experience.
It’s this ease of use and an ability to add extra modules for some truly enhanced function that has seen Shopify create a growing army of kitchen-table millionaires, running automated e-commerce sites coupled up with overseas dropshippers (suppliers who will send an item to your customer for you). So whether you have a small fashion brand, are a keen crafter – or want to sell high markup Chinese goods without ever having to handle a single product, Shopify has an out-the-box solution at between $29 and $299/mo.

Fool Me Once –
Expensive, bloated and set up to get maximum money out of their clients. Watch for all these gurus saying it’s the best thing since sliced bread they all get a nice kickback when you sign up. You want to OWN your store, not rent it. oh and did I mention they can delete your store just like that and you have literally no comeback?

Why would anyone pay $100 or more a month for Shopify when Woocommerce on WordPress is free and can make the same looking store? It makes no sense
