I can see why everyone just uses Shopify for online stores these days. I went with Woocommerce because it's free, but setting up variable items like clothes with different sizes is such a headache.
It's a manual process either way. You either go into every product and set up the variations yourself, or you upload one CSV, have to turn on product variations for each product individually, then upload a second CSV with all the variations.
It's probably just me, but as a user, geez I hate Shopify. Thank you for choosing anything else
I don't like it. They charge a monthly fee and a percentage of sales. They're also trying to become like a platform for online shopping, like they're trying to muscle in on becoming a monopoly.
And they seem pretty content with making it easy to start your own AI generated dropshipping store. They're trying to sell the dream so they can collect that subscription money. Starting a store is only the first step, not the final destination.
Exactly this. Charge subscriptions, plus fees for add-ons that should be there in the first place. Ugh!
Plus they also leaked all my personal details. Thanks Shopifuckers.
I need to remember moisturise my skin more; so much dry skin.

So the rest of the family here missed out on a whole table being delivered. I just brought it in from the front step.
We've got one of those Google doorbells so once I find one of the old Home Minis we have kicking around I'm going to set it up in the back half of the house so they can hear the doorbell
