Should you start your store on Shopify, Woocommerce, Bigcommerce or somewhere else?  Well in this episode I weigh out all the pros and cons about each one and we decide together which ecommerce shopping cart platform is right for you!

• Shopify Vs. Woocommerce Vs. Bigcommerce
• Quick version
• You should use shopify if you sell physical products, and go with woocommerce if you sell digital goods or the primary focus of your website is content.  I struggle to even say that because Shopify is just so dominant but there are some benefits to woocommerce I will get into later
• People saying I am biased
• Shopify and Bigcommerce are fairly similar but Shopify is better for reasons I will go into later
• Eliminate a bunch of platforms
• Hosted vs. unhosted
  • Magento and woocommerce the downsides
  • Most people opt for hosted
• First off Let’s tackle Bigcommerce Vs. Shopify
• They are similarly priced
• Let’s Start WIth Shopify
  • Pros
    • Better Credit Card Rates
    • Better/Cheaper Templates
    • Better Add Ons and Apps
    • Integrates With Pinterest, PLAs and a ton of things
  • Cons
    • You need 3rd Party Apps
    • Fees for using a 3rd Party Payment Gateway
• Bigcommerce
  • Pros
    • Better Out of the Box
    • Gift cards
    • Built-in Ratings
    • Real Time Shipping Quotes
    • Better Abandon Cart
    • Partnership with Alibaba
      • Oberlo

 

• Cons
  • Selling Limits $50,000 for basic plan
  • Smaller Userbase

 

• Shopify is the clear winner to me, just a better company, more forward thinking company and just really on the ball

Okay so at this point you may be thinking that is great but what about Woocommerce

Pros

• Free?
• Less Expensive
• Great if you plan on having a bunch of small stores or only really selling 1-2 products
• I honestly think every good internet markerter should get hosting anyways, blue host christmas
• Podcasts
• Not as professional and more likely to get hacked
