You nailed it in a couple of minutes! Thank you so much for squeezing it to the major points. It answered all my questions... Staying with Woocommerce so far :) Good luck with your channel and business!
I was having anxiety, but I see clearly which eCommerce company I need to decide one. I will be reaching out for that free consultation. I think that would help so much
A fantastic video. Ironically, you hit the nail on the head in the very last section in which you talk about the platforms "only" being the tool. I am still at the stage of "bells and whistles" and pretending that these will sell my product rather that blood sweat and tears....... and a tool of course! Very many thanks.
I have watched different video's on comparison Shopify versus Woocommerce and this video goes into pros and cons that are overlooked by other video's and answers some questions I have about the two platforms. It definitely helps me to make the decision. Thank you!
I've been having a terrible time with square online, and now making the decision between these two platforms. This video was super helpful, thank you so much!
Thanks, I’m an aspiring freelance developer looking to niche down and decided on e-commerce and therefore woo commerce. However it’s been daunting to wrap my head around why people would choose me instead of just using a shopify app. Basically if they take a maintenance plan with me they can save money hand over fist with none of the extra “Wordpress responsibilities” rather than using shopify.
Man I'm sorry to admit I skipped straight to the end as I'm supposed to be winding down for bed and this is the third "vs" video I've watched in a row! But even so that was a great delivery and great point you made at the end, they're both tools. I'm finally getting back into ecom after 4-5 years, and seeing new faces in the niches, you well and truly know your s**t, subbed!
This helped a lot! I have been between shopify as the crowd favorite but WOO because well I am not technologically or web building challenged .... Woo is my choice! Thanks!
Shopify wins it for me, I find that it's more user friendly. As for tips for raising a second child....the bathroom becomes your hiding place for time to yourself 😂 but having two kids means they spend time together more and get to learn from one another so it's a plus
One of the things that was not mentioned was the fact that if you choose to use Shopify for your e-commerce platform you're essentially stuck if they suddenly decide to up their charges significantly. If $30 a month suddenly becomes $40 what are you going to do then? And the same goes for their other fees.
I doubt most high revenue Shopify stores are that concerned about that increase in price. Many of the ones we consult with could pay that with one sale.
They can't increase your price if you already paid for a yearly plan. But I know what you mean. I guess if it increases, you can pay the extra amount or switch to wordpress, etc.
While I do hear a lot of good things with shopify. I feel like they make it extremely complex to run your ads. It has to do-it-yourself system Which can make it complex on websites like wix everything is already made for you. So when you run ads, you don't run into any complications.
Costs shouldn't be an issue if your business is profitable. My products and customer journey are complex. Lots of guiding, comparisons, education needed for my customers to make a decision. My competitors using headless shopify but that's like 2k a month. Ok ya those costs matter to me lol. Yes shopifys do rank but more people can SEO woo. Been researching like 6 months to get here. We will see how this all goes lol. Thanks for your videos ninja. Wait maybe I'm doing it wrong, bolting on shopify to woo. You said bolt woo/word on shopify. Back to the drawing board dammit!!
Hi there! Thank you so much for the helpful video! I have a question I’m currently customizing my WooCommerce website locally using XAMPP. Do you recommend finishing all the customizations before hosting the site, or is it better to deploy the website first and make further changes after it's live? What’s the best approach to ensure a smooth transition and minimize potential issues?
I’m not so tech savvy Woo Commerce seems like it may be cheaper but paying for somebody to give you tech support I imagine might level the playing field (unless you make allot of sales as Shopify takes 2.5% out of your sales on top of any payment plans like affirm) My concern would be the compatibility with updating plugins and troubleshooting problems. In general how frequent do issues like that arise on Woo Commerce? Are they difficult to solve if you don’t have any coding or tech knowledge?
I'm going woo w shopify bolt on. Want to sync w social shops and have shop pay button. It wa hard to figure out but there's a plugin for it. Not many Deva know about it. Found 2 out of 50 lol.
Hello, is everything ok? I'm starting out in the Print On Demand market, where I need a product page to accommodate customizations, such as color selection, font selection and a field for the person to write so we can customize, what would be better or more appropriate? Do both meet this demand? I would like the page to look similar to Etsy's custom products page
Are the addons necessary with woocomerce? I downloaded the plug-in and in the walkthrough it recommended a lot like woocomerce tax, google ads, jet pack etc
Also starting Wordpress and woocometce enforces your knowledge how the web works I don’t like the thought when the business takes ff the fees will pile up so I’ll sti ck with woocommerce. Support is also great if you get it from reputable plugins or themes with one theme click instal.

The most thorough comparison I've seen!
This helped a lot! I have been between shopify as the crowd favorite but WOO because well I am not technologically or web building challenged .... Woo is my choice! Thanks!
It was useful. It helped me understand the difference between the two.
Shopify wins it for me, I find that it's more user friendly.

Thanks for the tips 😁 Hiding in the bathroom as I write this!
Thx for your detailed explanation on the differences!! Now I can clearly decide which one I should go with!!!! 🤩🤩
Happy to help!
Not shure if i missunderstood cuz if shopify own my site, I feel like it doesn't matter how good they are. That's a no go
You cannot phone Shopify, I repeat you cannot phone Shopify...
I have a direct phone line to Tobi Lütke (maybe)
Yes!!! It’s all Chat, Chat, Chat! Which takes freakin longer than phone talk with Shopify support! Frustrating!
I’m using shopify, within 5 min they are there to reply
You skipped '6. Security' :) Great video - thanks for the comparison!
Good call!
This analysis is perfection! Just what I needed. Thank you!
You're very welcome!
I found this so very helpful. Thank you so much!!!
You are so welcome! ♥

Shopify new price is actually 40 as of today1/12/23 if your on the monthly plan and 29 if your on the yearly plan.
2:20 in and I have my answer. I'll pick open source over closed system any day, as long as it isn't CAD software
Haha
Thank you Ninja, nice work, I am new at e-commerc thank you for your review !
While I do hear a lot of good things with shopify. I feel like they make it extremely complex to run your ads.
It has to do-it-yourself system Which can make it complex on websites like wix everything is already made for you. So when you run ads, you don't run into any complications.
You know your gear! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
I never subscribe but did after 10mins
Thank you for sharing this video. I was waiting for you to talk about the security. Would've been helpful.
Next time!

Thank you for your great humour and info!
You're very welcome!
Thanks for the video. It walked me through step by step
Lots to weigh up. We have our own website but contemplating if we should have something like Shopify as well..
Has this video helped you to feel more confident about going with Shopify?

Really good review. It makes perfect sense of the pros and cons.
*Do you use Shopify or WooCommerce for your business?*
I think it depends on the clients wants and needs.
Great video. Amazing work. Thank you, sir.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great Video, Learned A Lot - Thanks
Glad to hear it!
Dear Mrs.& Brother @ExposureNinja, if you're a single parent, my tip for raising a second child is to take quick baths or showers😉👍👍 💙
This really helped thanks for making this
Glad it helped!
I love your British accent! Would Ease of Use n Support be better if I go with Woo under Bluehost?

those transaction costs of 2% are waived when using Shopify payments, arent they
I'm going woo w shopify bolt on. Want to sync w social shops and have shop pay button. It wa hard to figure out but there's a plugin for it. Not many Deva know about it. Found 2 out of 50 lol.

Still very useful. Thanks!
Glad to hear it!
Very helpful. Thank you!!!
Glad it was helpful!
what about bigcommerce?
Are the addons necessary with woocomerce? I downloaded the plug-in and in the walkthrough it recommended a lot like woocomerce tax, google ads, jet pack etc

I am going with wordpress.
Awesome stuff. Glad it was useful 🥰
Excellent analysis.

Thank You!
WordPress The Best 👍
thank you!
You're welcome!
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it 💖
Also starting Wordpress and woocometce enforces your knowledge how the web works
I don’t like the thought when the business takes ff the fees will pile up so I’ll sti ck with woocommerce.
Support is also great if you get it from reputable plugins or themes with one theme click instal.
Couldn't agree more. Big fan of the WordPress/WooCommerce community
Thank you sir ❤
You're welcome!
im a bit confused. What's the difference between Wordpress and woo commerce?
WooCommerce runs on WordPress. It's a plugin that adds ecommerce functionality to WordPress. :)
@@RyanRay14 thanks
Great presentation. Keep it up Ninja
amazing info
My pleasure
Shopify = iOS. Woocommerce = Early Android.
Interesting and easy to understand, thank you
You are welcome!
Shopify is good if you are focusing on Business
