Shopify vs. Webflow: E-commerce platform showdown

[@brocktonsss]

designing in shopify makes me want to tear my hair out, if these two platforms were able to have a baby it would be perfect

[@alimardani2221]

I don't know why Shopify doesn't allow to design more freely!

[@geetak582]

What part makes you want to tear your hair out?

[@dill06m]

Almost like Squarespace, if their 7.1 fluid engine wasn't so garbage.

[@jeffbeaudoin4544]

@@dill06m Yeah by trying to make things more fluid Squarespace has made things more crappy.

[@jonasarleth]

The back and forth format is a good idea!

[@Ben-sg5cq]

Agreed, been hoping for a long time some experts would make a vid in this exact format! I feel a lot more confident exploring both platforms now!

[@wemote]

Webflow not offering iDeal payments via Stripe here in the Netherlands is painful. It's frustrating to have spent time to learn and advocate their tech, but then not being listened to for years.

[@dfsdferfsd]

the checkout limitations of webflow make it really dangerous, you may lose a lot of orders with a bad checkout process

[@YouSuck921]

What are the limitations? I’m thinking of moving my online store from Shopify to Webflow

[@redhunnid5142]

@@YouSuck921 basically their payment system isn’t accessible to people all around the world like Shopify Wix is also the same way all are good platforms but Shopify is ahead of them all in the e-commerce department as far as currencies and transactions to other countries but Webflow and WIX have better Website design than Shopify

[@BRoRN.]

yall have no idea what ur talking ab you can integrate literally any payment system you want into webflow. you can make webflow into anything you want with any open source code @@redhunnid5142

[@justinwiechman]

Very well laid out guys. I reallly enjoyed this video. I wish to see more videos on the e-commerace side of things with webflow & also integration with Shippo or Shipstation or anyothers. Would be nice to see a live functionality of webflows e-commerace. Again, great content!

[@justinwiechman]

With that said, I wish there was a live community similar to editor x's community on discord. Where they have people building live & sharing ideas through discords video capabilities.

[@jonnybail_2]

Is there a proven way to integrate shopify into webflow? All tutorials seem to be flawed.

[@meharjawadhashmi6723]

In such scenario where client needs a custom build website but they also want to make as shopify ecom store. Then where should we start? should we start with webflow Ecommerce and build a custom website and then integrate with shopify hosted with the webflow? Or should we start with Shopify Ecom templete? Can you make a video on the full process from start to end?

[@OldScuulAndy]

you said it, start with webflow Ecommerce and build a custom website and then integrate with shopify hosted with the webflow.

[@rubenrobinson3856]

Shopify just doesn’t have the same customisable features that webflow has. Even making a custom header on shopify is an absolute nightmare, especially if you really want to show your brand with the website.

[@dankierson]

*Did I hear a single word on ecommerce tech . . . ?* Backend language and framework used? Performance? Third-party libraries or packages? User communities for support? Stability and reliability? Scalability? Usability by non-tech employees of site owner? Integrated user statistics? Integrable with common payments platforms? Attachability to headless front end? Can I suggest a cheap alternative? Build your own web store and rent a VPS or cloud server for $5 - $30 a month.

[@ethanrogers9627]

That might be cheaper monetarily for a single person team with technical know-how. Is it cheaper in terms of time, especially if you're working with a team?

[@dankierson]

@@ethanrogers9627 If every site was a one-off needing all new code components, of course not. But maybe 90% of the backend components are common. And once the logo and page layouts are done it's going to be a job of implementing the layouts in CSS with original content text, images and video.

[@dankierson]

@@untilco I hope this response lasts on YT unlike the previous removed one. All backend techs (e.g. Java Spring, Node.js, Django, Flask, etc) have pre-built packages or even frameworks to do all the usual stuff involved in a web store backend. While this won't be as efficient as custom coded packages, it will be bug-free and save you a lot of time. You'll see tutorials on backend building with all of these techs on YT or on the web generally.

[@jordanmackay9156]

Shopify is a no brainer for a simple store but when you have a big website (500 pages) with just as many products and need a custom site that isnt just a shop front.. webflow is the only way. I absolutely hate shopify's storefront builder because its so cookie cutter. I really wish i could easily intergrate shopify's ecommerce with webflow but the shopify buy buttons are finicky

[@simoneblax]

I'm 30 seconds in and I already have a feedback to give. First of all, thank you for making this content, it will be useful as always. You should keep the mic as near as possible, otherwise every SFX or background song become disturbing. I should be able to listen to your voice above all, even if I'm in a loud environment without headphones. Just an heads up! Hope this is useful ❤

[@infinitedesigns_io]

This is the perfect video at the perfect time... love it when that happens :) Thanks guys!

[@priyanshusaini6299]

Team Webflow...

[@fen8234]

Best analysis I have ever seen

[@PhilipTrott]

Can you do a workshop for those of us who live in countries that cannot use Webflow e-commerce (Stripe doesn’t work everywhere😢)

[@FluxAcademy]

noted!

[@marvinkr]

You can use a Shopify button link that you can embed inside your Webflow page!

[@CheaterChalange]

Great in depth comparison! :D

[@affoamadou74]

It was very interesting, thanks!

[@ChelseaMadamba93]

So helpful, thank you!

[@justinwiechman]

Whats best to use for Blogging? Shopify or Webflow? I have a Webflow site that links to a Shopify Store.

[@abie1295]

thanks! i need the video

[@ham2956]

You guys know if shopyflow is gonna happen ?

[@goldenant9450]

is there a way to directly show your shopify page within an existing webflow site, which has its own URL. Idk if it makes a difference but in my case, the site is not hosted on webflow, but bluehost.

[@mauriciolima1629]

Fix the links!!! They are repeated

[@FluxAcademy]

oops. fixed! thanks

[@Evrim-g2p]

Hi there! I am building a website and there will be a lot of short social stock videos, thousands. Which platform I should go with? Shopify, Webflow or Squarespace?

[@karelmartinek5306]

Excellent

[@shajibsutradhar1593]

How many of you found the links given on video descriptions and found webflow websites load much more faster than shopify's?

[@gsocaranza]

Wordpress vs Webflow ?

[@brandedbygreenville]

yikes... Webflow no question.

[@bandara7353]

I don't know how shopify being a huge company is relevant to be a pro for the end user

[@zaka9862]

The sites in the links are either broken or give me malware/phishing warnings

[@shabadouwilou]

where to start to learn shopify but for clients not my own site ? do you have any paid assistance for that ?

[@suman121069]

:) thank you

[@nopelward3052]

Have you heard of dukaan similar to shopify

[@alexandersorbas1881]

wow guys have some life in your voice I am getting sleepy here

[@jzajzz]

Shopify is vlearly better.... The client cares about selling products... At the end of the day thats what really matters.. and Shopify blows webflow out of the eater for e-commerce

[@stefantrajkovic9392]

why do they look AI generated?😅

[@whatsupbro6978]

guys, you both glasses are not fit at all

[@seanmakura]

This is not a fair match, Shopify is so much more advanced😂

[@zerma6]

Can you not waste people time and talk faster ! Its unbearable .

[@FluxAcademy]

Watch at 2x 😁
