Online Stores
Selling from your own site, for makers and small shops: Shopify, WooCommerce and builder stores, store design, payments, shipping and digital products.
A store is a website with a checkout, and its look does much of the selling: product photos that show the thing clearly, a product page that answers the obvious questions, a checkout with few steps. Its real cost is the monthly plan plus a fee on every sale, and often a few paid apps on top.
Etsy vs Shopify for makers adds up both sets of fees at $5,000, $20,000 and $60,000 a year in sales, then weighs what the fees don’t show.
