In choosing an e-Commerce store for your business, there are ready web design solutions such as Shopify which I am using now and I likeit. Then, there are custom-built e-Commerce websites that are more dynamic and advantageous for most.

There are pros and cons to both approaches. I would like to hear them from your personal experience. Which one was better for you and why?

 

As I grow, i am thinking for a switch to Shopify Plus, but 2k$/month seems to be too big budget for me 🙄

Custom eCommerce store:

  • Pro: You have total control over how the site works.
  • Con: You must either do all the programming yourself or hire it done.

Ready made on Shopify :

  • Pro: Very little if any programming needed.
  • Con: You are limited in how your pages work, if they work at all.

 

2000$/month for Shopify plus can be tiny compared to what you will pay if you consistently hire developers to fix bugs, develop new features, integrate custom apps, ....

 

If your store is doing well, I think it is recommended to switch to Shopify plus, indeed there is a 2k$/m, but the commission per sale that Shopify takes will decrease
