Shopify is not a one size fits all solution. In fact, depending on your exact needs, Shopify may not be a good fit at all.
Even though Shopify might appear to be the defacto standard of shopping carts, your choice of ecommerce platform is not a black and white decision. And depending on the nature of your business, Shopify might not be the best choice.
Because I run my own 7 figure ecommerce store and have taught ecommerce for almost a decade now, I have used or evaluated practically every shopping cart out there.
And the only way to fully understand the pros and cons of any ecommerce platform is to actually use it with money on the line.
So unlike other shopping cart comparisons you’ll find on the Internet, today’s video is based on my own personal experiences.
Here are my top 3 Shopify Alternatives.

WooCommerce - mywifequitherjob.com/go/wooco...

Shift4Shop is only available if you are resident in the United States. KZreadrs should acknowledge that there is an international audience outside of America.
Shopify terminated my store without notice, refunded my subscription fee, and won't tell me why. My store was incomplete, had ZERO products, and ZERO sales. I had simply finished the backend work connecting a domain and configuring shipping zones. Shopify is crazy for this. Thanks for the alternatives!

You didn’t list the CONS of Shift4Shop. Setting up a shop is like walking through mud. It was built on top of an older platform called 3DCart so everything is mixed up. You have to set up your own relationships with shippers, and then integrate those. Photos were hard to figure out. But the worst thing is, if you don’t start selling very quickly, they kick you off the site. I spent weeks entering inventory and trying to link and resize photos and then they canceled my store because I hadn’t sold anything yet. There was no warning ahead of time that that would happen.

Hi Mary. We've started two stores on Shift4 already. One is run by my 13 year old. It takes time to learn the gui but it's a powerful cart. You will get taken down if you don't set up payment processing with 90 days.

Hi Ronald, I'm also into Ecom although I started over two years ago. I'd however like to share useful information and ideas with you. Is there any other way I can reach you?
I really appreciate the video. I am frustrated with Shopify over a bug (why I'm witching this video) and I've had dozens of frustrating experiences trying to report other bug and feature requests. So, I would give Shopify a 2.5 out of 5 on customer support. They do have good documentation.
I needed this info. Thank you.
The only question I have is that Shopify has a huge platform and there’s good traffic to sell anything. I don’t even know those three you mentioned and I understand the pros and cons which you did a great job of explaining. But, I still very overwhelmed with what would be the best for me…but thank you for sharing 👍👍👍
Great content, very concise and thorough
Adbsolutely fantastic video, thank you so, so much!!

Thanks for making this video, Shopify did give a headache by making accounts inactive without any warning or email. I scratched my head for 3 days thinking what went wrong till the support mail arrived. Destroyed my business and reputation.

Wow! Thank you for this clear, thorough presentation including line summaries of your main points. Shift 4 Shop sounds great! I don't think I'd get through pronouncing it as well as you do. I'd have gotten tongue-tied and said something that would have to be edited. It's a tongue-twister for sure! 😀
Wait till you have a big issue with Shopify and the support is non-existent. And if you sell anything gun-related stay away from PayPal and Square. Great video!
Heck of a good presentation. Thank you.

Thanks for this video. It's very helpful. The list of countries where Shopify Payments can be used is VERY short -- even shorter than Etsy's list of countries where its payment system can be used. At the end of the day both Shopify and Etsy are ignoring the potential of many foreign markets. I live in Bangkok and neither Shopify and Etsy do not accept sellers from Thailand. Both Shopify and Etsy say they plan to add more countries. But I have not seen any changes over the past few years.
