Shopify is the preferred method for starting up an online e-commerce store for various reason. It is the top e-commerce platform for a reason. Below you will find 5 reasons as to why this is the preferred method for online sales start up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Shopify has stronger security compared to a WordPress-embedded store as the security on your website relies strictly on your security plug ins, if you have any.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Shopify requires much less maintenance than running your own online store as the maintenance on Shopify is mainly managed by the website and not the seller. On your own website you are responsible for plug in updates and troubleshooting.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Shopify’s website performance is built around e-commerce. Webpages must be able to load quickly for scrolling and checkout site speed must be top notch. With WordPress, the more plugins that you have the slower your website can run.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Shopify has better features compared to a WordPress embedded store such as analytics and built in marketing tools.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Going this route allows for a clean separation between the marketing website and the online store. Additionally, if one website goes down, the other one will remain active.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
