Shopify has the WORST customer support ever. It is absolutely appalling the run around the give you over a simple question. I found the solution to my problem. But it's a chunk of code i have to insert. If i knew how to code i would not be using shopify to build my store. DO NOT USE SHOPIFY. Their web builder is full of bugs and there's no one to talk to. It takes far too long to take care of a simple thing. If youre have an issue, hope it isnt costing you money... I'm moving all my products somewhere else as soon right now. They dont care about your time at all. They send you to a forum full of preset questions that are not the one you have and it never goes anywhere in a circle. It even asks "was this helpful" you click "no" and it just sends you back to the beginning of the not helpful set of questions that are mostly marketing for add ons. They just lost my business over two words not showing up on my mobile site. I cant fix it and they apparently don't care. Hands down, the worst customer service i have ever encountered.
Hello, I appreciate your honest opinion but, I am confused. On your older videos you mostly put Shopify on top the better choice. Is Etsy good for a new seller of herbal teas? Will people really see my product among those thousands who get more attention? I have seen many negative and positive. Their fees are high but, many still sell there. Shopify is good but, no one knows me yet. With Shopify, how do I get my first batch of customers? I do not use social media, only RUclips. Thanks, Steve.
Thanks for the overview! My mind is tending towards a Shopify account, yet my guts were always against it. Your video gave my guts the necessary arguments.
Everybody saying how to cell on shopify . But nobody saying how to buy on Shopify . Have never seen this . What is shopify and how to see the products ?
I don't get it.. why would you need a shopify? and what's the difference between having your shopping cart within your website and being redirected to a shopify? No major brand redirects you.. what's the point? It just screams "cheap" to me
Do you have any video(s) on how to get customers or traffic to your webiste? I couldn't find one through all the scrolling. Just curious as I'm really looking into getting onto the dropshipping/ecommerce wagon. Thank you!
The short answer is to promote your products on social media, run ads on Google and social platforms, offer first-time buyer discounts, and optimize your store for search engines to attract customers.
Sounds like you need to work on your marketing. Start looking into Facebook and TikTok ads. SEO take 3-6 months of consistent work to kick in. Connecting with Micro influencers can also help.
@@InfoHubZA Understood but Amazon is a trusted source for shoppers/buyers but competition is high; whereas, Shopify allows stores of one’s own (no competition) but may be an untrusted/unknown source for shoppers/buyers….not to mention marketing for that site/store. So which method of online selling is best (in 2023)?
I’m need a basic website or landing page to give my brand credibility in case people search for it on the internet. My brand is very small at this point and only has a couple of products. I’m selling on Amazon and would like to send external traffic to my landing page or website. Then after getting their email address I want to send them to my Amazon listing or storefront using an attribution link to take advantage of the brand referral bonus. How should I go about this and which platform do you recommend Steve?
Great, I appreciate your advice and for replying so quickly to my comment. Please keep putting all of this great content out, you’re one of the few people who doesn’t just put out fluff content.
@@mywifequitherjob Umm as someone who uses Shopify and worked there for 6 years, it's always been a 10-20% discount for annual depending on the plan. While I agree with Shopify not being perfect, so much info in your video is completely false. Do better lol
Asalamalaikum brother thank you so much for this video. May Allah protect you and guide you to the right path Inshaa Allah. Much much appreciated for the video. God bless you and your family.
@MyWifeQuitHerJobEcommerceChannel I watched this video and some of your other videos on Shopify alternatives. I was considering Shift4Shop but I'm ultimately looking for something that makes shopping from Instagram streamline and easy. Can Shift4Shop do this for me? Or will it require my shoppers to be redirected off app into their browser?
It really just depends whether there's already a built in integration with IG. Every cart can do it with some code. But I'd say shopify had the best integration here

Hello!
Can you kindly tell us a better alternative
Thank u❤for the ups. And I was just about to switch 🧐🙏🏾
Go back to wordpress. Hire a professional web developer with good support. Comment below if you need contact
@@TheDigitalActivator I was thinking the same thing while reading.
Which company (ecommerce) did you switch to?
The phone support is no longer an option, hence the reason I'm now looking for alternate platforms
Steve - I love your honesty. Thank you.

It's a great platform. You just have to be aware of the gotchas

I thought about this question as well. Good question
I've been watching POS reviews all day, mostly for Shopify and square, and not a single person mentioned any of those add-ons to run your website.
Imagine shopify banning your ecommerce site because they decide so. Absolutely no go
Same as the Etsy scammers
I don't get it.. why would you need a shopify? and what's the difference between having your shopping cart within your website and being redirected to a shopify? No major brand redirects you.. what's the point? It just screams "cheap" to me
Shopify is your website
This was so helpful. Thank you

Please do a video on how to set up a marketplace sites. So far I've only seen individual ecommerce sites.
Just use this SHopify plugin apps.shopify.com/multi-vendor-marketplace
Hey Steve I hope you will do a review of shopwired as they appear to have a lot more free apps than shopify.
Very well done!
Yeah 0 visitors everyday gets old even though I work on it 24/7 everyday. I’m ending my Shopify soon if something doesn’t change

True. Almost a year at shopify. Haven't sold any until I closed my shop.
Is Amazon or Shopify better to do in 2023?
I guess Shopify
@@InfoHubZA Understood but Amazon is a trusted source for shoppers/buyers but competition is high; whereas, Shopify allows stores of one’s own (no competition) but may be an untrusted/unknown source for shoppers/buyers….not to mention marketing for that site/store.
So which method of online selling is best (in 2023)?
It's actually a combination of both. Watch this ruclips.net/video/Caiz6tb8sPU/видео.html

If that's the case, then I'd go cheap with woocommerce. Watch my step by step setup video for that

I did not get a 50% discount when I paid my annual fee to Shopify. Is this something new?
They literally raised their prices the day after I filmed. I had to annotate the video before publishing.

God makes a way for poors, thanks man‼️
Dude relax, Shopify is amazing.
Ioiiii
WELL , WAT IS THE PHONE NUMBER ? BECAUSE I DONT SEE A PHONE NUMBER FOR CUSTOMER SERVICE ..
Absolute rubbish shopify is. Stay away
which website is best for selling digital downloads, or services?
This is a loaded question. What's your budget and what features do you need?
