Case study- SHOPIFY

You guys are saying that basic plugins cost money on shopify and are free on wordpress
could you give me two-three of thosep plugins that you are talking about?

Nah, that's not what I'm saying personally. In fact plugins are one thing that I think shopify is better for. Woocommerce has quite lacking functionality in some areas and whenever you google how to do something you have to pay for a plugin.

My point was that at it's most basic level (ie, no optional plugins), woo commerce is cheaper to get started with. I think it'd be cool if shopify stores that arent getting sales could have a heavily discounted version so that they only pay the £30 once they're earning money.
 
My perspective might not be fully moral but whatever...

I prefer Woo + WP because of the fact that most paid plugins are nulled and you can try it. IMO if you are tight on budget but you are eager to learn and understand how to value such plugins/themes, you can try out the nulled version and pay for it when you made profit. I understand why people find this to be immoral but I just think it's something that causes no harm to anyone.

With that being said, the only thing you have to pay for is hosting which really isn't that much. I pay 7 bucks a month for hosting compared to 30 bucks plan on Shopify not to mention you can't get nulled versions of plugins on that platform.

Another thing is the fact that with the right theme and plugins, woo a lot easier, cleaner and more robust than Shopify.
Also, I would love to use Shopify but their payment plans are straight cancer, they only accept credit cards so anyone without a job or students that don't yet have a CC are fucked and unable to use Shopify after the trial ends.
 
yea but WP and WOO require a lot more knowledge in coding and stuff like that, just harder for a noob

Sorry but this is just utter nonsense peddled by so called Shopify guru's to keep n00bs uninformed, with woo you don't need to know shit about coding, sure there is a learning curve on how to use the software but it isn't bigger then with Shopify, the only thing that is a pain in the ass (like with all ecommerce) is setting up shipping if you don't use free shipping.

Shopify is expensive, unworkable and heavily overrated... I do everything and much much much more then i could ever do with shopify and be profitable, because first you need a theme that doesn't look generic like the hundreds of sites that you have come across, a theme in shopify is $180 or you have to have one designed for you cost even more, EVERY LITTLE THING you need for your marketing you need to pay for, upsells, email, max customers, you wants something, you have to pay a subscription and they take a % of your sales.

Like i said over prized and heavily overrated by people like OP who want to make a quick buck on the n00bs, if you're a n00b and you want top dopp ecommerce, please do yourself a favour, take a view weeks to learn woocommerce (or any other ecommerce platform for that matter) and build your own store, you will thank yourself for it later on because you save soooooo much money on a monthly basis

Good luck

LOL cant believe you just thought I was favouring Shopify on woocommerce because I am a " Shopify Guru", ive never used either my friend and I dont plan to do so in the near future either. I just have a case study and based on what people said, Shopify is way easier to setup
So before you start throwing your accusations, maybe just read what I said at the very beginning and youd understand more :)
 
I use shopify, easy to use and great when you get into more order volume to manage.
 
Domain on Namesilo: $8.99/year
Hosting: $30/year

Shopify: $29/month

SSL is also free on cPanel now too so there go the bullshit comparison articles that say you have to pay $100 for SSL certificates.

Way more free plugins as well. Shopify also has a lot of monthly plugins which is a joke. I have a free currency converter whereas Shopify apps try charging $10/month.

Themes sell for $150 on there too.

It's a joke.

What Shopify has going for it is an easier set up but if you take a little bit to watch a WooCommerce video on Youtube, you'll save a lot of money.
 
Haha better focus on project than arguing at here

Different people have different opinion

okay and for Woo +wordpress, do you not have to pay monthly for hosting and other stuff too?

Yes you have to pay for hosting. Would cost ~$5-$10 for decent shared hosting. Or you can get a VPS from AWS for around $9 (1 core, 1gb ram, 10gb SSD storage).
