Putting a full experience that needs many months or years of work into 10 min, in a clear and concise way too! That's amazing, you made it easy for us, thank you

Came here to say this!!

[@robertwells9177]

The most straight forward video I have seen on KZbin. I have watch a lot of videos on web sites. Thank You

[@BTalise87]

This was a pleasure to watch! The “EASY BUTTON” of comparing both e-commerce website builders that I’ve seen on KZbin, bravo and thank you!

[@nayatimoodfilms3783]

I'm starting a brand and it seems to me that it's just quite hard to communicate my brand messaging through shopify...but then again it has the payment processing option which just seems so much easier. So I don't know what to go for.

[@hammypie]

WOW, this comparison video was informative but to the point, no BS, super useful!! Beautifully edited. Thank you 🙏

[@fransvanhoek7594]

I genuinely loved this video! Who knew ecommerce comparisons could be calming, reassuring, pleasurable. The sound design, tone of voice, sweet little moments made my day.

[@user-gm1rs1qf9b]

Easily the best video I’ve seen at this. Put me at ease with my decision of using Shopify I was contemplating on crossing over to squarespace for how much more legroom you’re given creating but I love all the bells and whistles that come with Shopify .

[@Charlesigbe]

You are very good at explaining some of the most complex subjects around in your niche. Thank you.

[@nicholastreder6406]

This is the most informative, to the point, and simple breakdowns for this that I have seen. Thank you!!!!

[@zhuzhu_pet]

I just want to share that there's a much easier way to customize a page in shopify. If you create a new template for the page, you'll be able to add things like photos, text, videos, inside the website editor without them transferring to all your other pages.

This video is not only informative but actually lovely to watch! very creative with the transitions and sound effects choice 👏 Thank you!

[@236vic]

Hi Thank you, how do we pause buying with all ecommerce in a date period when shipping is not available in squarespace? without pausing the website?

[@SuperADM7]

Je ne commente strictement JAMAIS les vidéos. Mais c’était un bonheur de t’entendre. Tout est parfait dans cette vidéo. Ton ton, ta voix, les informations, le montage, la musique. J’aurais pu t’écouter toute la soirée en mangeant du pop-corn, haha. Bravo.

Starting my own POD journey and considering Merchize for fulfillment. What advice would current/past users give based on their experiences?

[@misslindslam]

Great comparisons! Thanks for sharing your takeaways at the end-v helpful. What about digital/download products? Would you recommend one over the other?

[@ronjohnson4566]

so my website/blog will need 4 or 5 pages of expandable templates. Meaning i can add as many images and text as i want. I can drop in a few images and put the text anywhere, or i can add 40 images with short discripters anywhere i want. for me it is going to be an open page that i can drop images anywhere i want and continue down the page with as many images and text i want with no restrictions or one open template that does the same as an open page i.e., as many images as i want and texts where i want. is there a way to do this? my old website allows me to design with flexibility (i am replacing the old with a new site). my old page allowed me to continue a them as long as i wanted. You could scroll down the page and continue a subject or style as you wish. It seems to me all these news apps limit how, where and many things you can add. please respond. thanks.

[@magicalmindtransformation3474]

Omg thankyou, I'm trying to decide. Looking forward to this video

[@ivyandlight]

Great video! Is there a difference in SEO between the two sites? I'm wondering if my organic traffic to my shop would improve if I switched from Squarespace to Shopify.

[@abbyleighton.studio]

If Squarespace had the ecommerce backend capabilities that Shopify had, it would be the best platform!

[@geoffplywood6112]

Steve I've found your videos so helpful and informative, and a pleasure to watch - thanks 👏

[@stevebuildswebsites]

Thanks Geoff!!

[@anonanon2031]

does paypal work with shopify?

[@DJVibeDubstep]

What if its just digital products you're selling? A lot of shopifys pros mentioned int his video don't matter as much. Only thing I can think of its the erxtra payment options that gives Shopify an edge. But I love how you can edit pages more with Squarespace since I want to integrate a blog with my store.

[@WilliamParker-Combes]

Just trying to get my new business online and this was super helpful. Well done!

[@8enable]

wow! Thank you. I really enjoyed this. Watched - or tried to watch - several other videos around same topic, yours was the only one I watched in entirety Nice work

[@mikelaicreative]

This is a great video, although the prices seem to have drastically changed only within a year. Monthly subscriptions now $39 basic, $105 shopify, $399 advanced, in USD... the cheapest option is almost $60 for me (in Canada). I'm new here so maybe you have a video on getting more traffic, cuz at almost $60/month, its a bit steep to test the waters on a product idea, and I would imagine pausing a subscription doesn't do you any favours either

[@abrahamsultan6885]

I really appreciate the work you put into the backgrounder. This is a great video.

[@stevebuildswebsites]

I appreciate that!

Sir I hired a company to design my pancake website but the home page layout design is not at all appealing it's under process from past two months can you please please help me out by your previous review.

[@balex556]

Hello am an expert in website design and development I can help you with that

[@TatianaBalashova]

Love the style of your comparison, you equally highlighted the benefits of each platform and some possible factors which could be deal breakers for some business owners. Is there a more in-depth video on what the more affordable e-commerce plans offer? (a comparison) I watched a few different reviews in the last 2 years and did not understand if that price is per website or per account. Like with a Weebly subscription I can have 10 websites (have an archive plan and without e-commerce). Have a jewelry brand (was mostly selling in showcases locally, want to create an online store), also I’d like to have an affiliate store with products which I like (off my websites). And a couple of more e-commerce websites for courses/club and projects. Now want to move my websites either to WP (used Divi builder as an amateur web designer, found it overwhelming, some plugins also did not work well like contact form - basically I need to collaborate with a web designer but can’t afford to have him/her yet. And I like changing things from time to time (it would cost a lot, some things I can do myself). Have you made a video comparing those platforms with Woocommerce for WP? However, shopify & squarespace seem pricy and I can see the pros and cons of each. It is a delicate dance to find a balance between a budget, profit and functionality as well as visual euthenics. I liked many squarespace websites or KZbinrs and also it is the company that massively offers sponsorships it seems (if you qualify for the collaboration). Whereas a few people who sell jewelry or clothes have shopify websites. Some well through etsy of thrivecart, instagram, ebay or other marketplaces like amazon, Poshmark and Russian Ozon, Wildberries, Yandex Market.

[@aimhighant]

What an amazing video. Great presentation & straight to the points. Appreciate it !

[@gL1135]

Thank do much for your video. It really was informative and well put together. It helped me get a lot of information I was questioning about both.

[@pjmac5593]

Steve that was super straight forward and like Geoff said, a pleasure to watch, it really was.. beyond informative. What platform would you recommend for goods rentals in a local area?

[@stevebuildswebsites]

Hmm. Are you hoping for customers to be able to rent the goods through your website? In that case, I'd look for a Shopify app that does that or see if there is a dedicated rentals platform out there. Rentals are a very specific use case so it's unlikely a website builder will do a good job of supporting that out of the box!

[@pjmac5593]

@@stevebuildswebsites thanks Steve, will certainly look into the Shopify apps options. Thought you may already be familiar and have an opinion of a 'Rentals' Platform product, if any exist, so will do the research on that too. Thanks for your time to answer my question.

[@wanderingwood_]

This is such an amazing video, thank you Steve! I feel less anxious about choosing the right platform for starting my business.

That’s awesome!! Very glad to hear it was helpful 😊

I'm a beat maker audio engineer trying to sell my beats with a live player and proper leasing set up in the app. Anyone with Shopify experience have any apps that work for this ?

[@ComputerClassOfficial]

Very informative! Keep growing!

[@The_FightGuru]

Hey question. If I was looking to start a Location based website. Where you can look up different products from different stores around the country on the same site. Would you suggest Square space? Been trying to find the right type of website but it's a little confusing. Thanks!

Question, wouldn’t it make it easier to combine square payment processing with squarespace?

[@Freedom_vice]

thanks for the comparison, good work simplifying and explaining each website builder. I used the link for your affiliate commission.

[@casainteriorltd]

Thank you, that was very helpful.

[@Lilyalexandermakes]

i have to say that im pretty advanced in design and shopify sometimes it's hard to fix issues that you shouldnt have ....

[@stevebuildswebsites]

That’s a good point. Do you think I should have emphasized that more?

[@Lilyalexandermakes]

@@stevebuildswebsites i think shopify is a bit too expensive too as usually when we move from etsy to create our own house it takes time and shopify could reduce the price at least for 6 months ...not to mention that shopify has bugs that are annoying :)

[@sfomann]

Thanks for explaining in a simplified and logical manner.

[@animewonders]

Bro... Wait what??? Why aren't you using shopifys website builder that's been around for years... It has live view and a side panel to organize things like galleries and slideshows...

[@stevebuildswebsites]

It's great! But it's a theme customization tool - not an open-ended "page builder" like Squarespace or Wix.

[@maxreade]

Great video. I watched it in 1.5 speed and it was perfect for me. U are super thurough ! I’ll use your link

[@ronfleming2872]

I wasn't wild about your price comparison as it was pretty inaccurate. Shop-iffy basic plan has a 2% fee + 2.9% credit card fee. Squarespace basic commerce fee is 0% + credit fee of 2.9%. The Shop-iffy basic plan is going to cost you WAY MORE over time with the extra 2% than Squarespace basic commerce!

[@stevebuildswebsites]

That’s not correct. What country are you in?
