Many people still believe Shopify is only designed for selling physical products.
That is not true anymore.
Shopify now makes it easy for service-based businesses to set up shop, promote their expertise, and sell services just like digital products.
The key is knowing exactly how to set it up properly so your customers have a smooth experience and you maximise conversions.
Let’s walk through how you can do this step-by-step.
Is it just me – or is choosing the right ecommerce platform becoming more complicated?
There used to be just a handful of options to pick from – now we have dozens – and they’re all growing more impressive all the time – particularly with the rise of AI.
Still, even with all of the new solutions out there, three major platforms often get the most attention: Shopify, Etsy, and Squarespace.
Shopify has long been my favorite platform for ecommerce companies – combining versatility with ease-of-use and high scalability.
Squarespace, on the other hand, is my go-to for creating truly gorgeous websites, while Etsy is still a prime choice for simple, marketplace selling.
So, which platform should you pick? That’s what I’m here to help you figure out.
If you’re running an ecommerce store and trying to decide between Canva and Placeit, here’s the quick answer:
Canva is the better option for building brand visuals, social content, and team design systems.
Placeit is better for quick, realistic product mockups, videos, and designs made to showcase products in context.
I’ve used both tools for over a decade across client projects, product launches, and campaigns—and here’s the full breakdown.
I’m comparing two big tools for online businesses: Shopify and Odoo. Both have the essentials for e-commerce but are different.
Shopify is omnichannel commerce focused, a solution for online selling. Odoo is a business management tool with ecommerce capabilities.
I’ll go through the pros and cons, features and pricing of both to help you decide which one is best for your business.
I looked at two ecommerce platforms: Shopify and Cococart.
Shopify is a major player, supporting millions of stores globally and offering features suitable for businesses of any size.
Cococart, though newer, is quickly becoming popular for its user-friendly design and low pricing, making it a great choice for small businesses.
Here’s how these platforms compare, so you can decide which one suits your online store best.
Choosing between Fourthwall and Shopify depends on your specific needs and goals. As a digital creator or small business owner, it can be overwhelming to decide on the right platform to sell on.
Both options have their strengths and weaknesses, and Fourthwall and Shopify are not direct competitors.
However, if you’re looking for a simple way to sell products and connect with fans, Fourthwall might be a good option.
We all know how important the right Shopify theme is to your store’s performance. In fact, website visitors form an opinion about your brand within about 50 milliseconds, based on its appearance.
However, as a long-term website developer myself, I’ve noticed that while there are a lot of attractive themes out there, they don’t all deliver in terms of performance.
Since you only have seconds to grab a customer’s attention, a performance-first theme is a must.
That’s where the Shopify Turbo Theme really shines. This premium theme promises lightning fast loading speeds, various customization options and some excellent tools to boost conversion rates.
In today’s Tapcart review, I’ll take a closer look at one of the more popular apps for modern Shopify stores. One of the reasons why Shopify stands out as a leading solution for ecommerce sales, is its incredible flexibility.
The solution comes with a huge app marketplace, filled with ways to optimize your store and boost functionality.
Creating a compelling brand isn’t easy. Before you can even start differentiating your company from the competition with a unique personality, messaging strategy, and approach to customer service, you first need a “visual” identity that resonates with your target audience.
Your logo, color palette, business cards and social media graphics all play a crucial role in shaping how customers perceive your company. Unfortunately, not every business owner has thousands of dollars to spend on a logo and other brand design services.
Kittl vs Looka, which design solution should you be using? At a glance, both tools are very similar, offering companies simple solutions for designing everything from logos to complete kits of brand assets, such as business cards, email signatures, and more.
Looka is probably the most intuitive option for beginners, allowing anyone to design comprehensive solutions for brand promotion in moments.
However, Kittl benefits from more powerful AI-powered design tools, allowing you to create brand-new images without a designer.
The US may no longer be the world’s largest ecommerce market – China now holds pole position and by a sizable margin. However, the US is the global pioneer, opinion leader and trend setter in many respects. It remains, arguably, the world’s most sophisticated.
Ecommerce sales as a proportion of total retail sales have been growing steadily over the years – from 11.1% in 2011 to 15.6% in 2023.
How much does it cost to hire a Shopify expert? If you’ve been looking for support launching a new store, help designing the perfect theme, or assistance with SEO, marketing, and maintenance, this is a question you may have asked.
Hiring an expert can be a great way to optimize your store’s performance, and pave the way for growth.
However, the cost of expert assistance can vary drastically, depending on factors from the expert’s experience to the scope of your project, and your specific needs. Here, I’ll break down everything you need to know to budget effectively.
