Sorry for the re-upload! I had to fix some audio issues that I wasn't aware of before. Lesson learned: Always edit with headphones haha Hope you enjoyed this video ^^
Loved this!! And love seeing the contrast with Shopify! 💕💕 I was able to find how to search products actually! I think it may depend on the template and you may have to turn it on. But it’s at the bottom of the page. Kinda weird and hard to find, but it’s there 😂
@@DoodlesnTea Your welcome!! 🥰 And I think it’s because some templates are super minimalistic style and so maybe some are targeted toward shops with less products.
Thank you so much for your video :) I’m so glad you’re based in Canada as well since most videos I watched are based in the US and couldn’t answer some of my questions
It would be interesting to see how customizable some of these shop websites are. - There are a ton of videos comparing all kinds of different alternatives (wix, woocommerce, shopify, squarespace, etc.) but rarely do they talk about customization. Like what if, for example, I want to let a video or animation play in the background, imported from Figma? I never know if that is possible. Would be good to know what the limitations are.
That's interesting! Never thought a comparison like that. I believe some of that may be possible if you're willing to pay more for themes which really depends on your budget
Hello! Thanks for this information on BigCartel and Shopify. I have a question for you. I purchased a domain for my Bigcartel store which Im still in the process of building. However I believe Shopify may be a better option. Can I use the same domain name with Shopify and closed down the BigCartel shop seeing I havent launched it yet
Thanks for watching!! I'm not 100% sure but I would think that would work? I mean you're taking a domain off from BC to use on Shopify so it's never being used at the same time right? I'm guessing at most it might just take a bit to register that you took the domain off BC before you can upload it to Shopify. Sorry I don't know for sure but that's just my guess >
Is it advisable/ unadvisable to start with a more affordable e-commerce solution, and then scale up to a more feature rich option when you’re doing well in sales, or is this confusing for customers?
I would (personally) rather build up a solid foundation WITH my community/doing well in sales first. My community has watched my shop change so much and they were also the ones to give me feedback on what features are actually worth adding/taking out.
Variations do not cost listing fees WHEN CREATING THE LISTING. However, for example, you sell one Variation A and one Variation B from the same listing, it counts as two SEPARATE items sold so you would be charged for TWO listing fees (if you are talking about Etsy). I hope this makes sense >
@@DoodlesnTea hi thanks for that reply. I’m looking to start a big cartel dropshipping from Amazon. There’s a price of $19.99 for 500 listings which is the highest bundle. Since I can only list 500 products, does variations count as part of the 500 items? Or do they count 1 product and it’s variations as 1 product listed? Hope i cleared it up for you.
@@Lance885 I asked my friends who use Big Cartel and they said variations don't count as listings (you could have 20 variations under one listing if you wanted) but you can only add 5 photos per listing. Hope this helps! :)
Selling online would be like through your online shop. Selling in person would be like having a booth at a convention or expo where you're physically there selling to people. Hope that clarifies it a bit :)
@@DoodlesnTea Right, but why is that an option for a website? Of course you could do either so I don’t understand the point in it. Do they go hand in hand or makes it easier to adjust what’s sold in person?
@@LexaLianne basically the earnings you sell will be collected into online shop and it also helps keep track of inventory I believe. Personally I haven't done it before though

Hi do the variations count as part of the 500 product listings as well?

Can someone explain the sell online and in person option. I’m new to having a business and don’t fully understand.
