Articles Ecommerce Shopify

Is Shopify free to use? It’s a question countless smaller business owners have asked over the years. Unfortunately, the simple answer is “no”.

Unlike some other companies in the ecommerce landscape, Shopify has no “forever free plan”.

Square Online Store Review: Features, Pricing and Benefits

Articles Ecommerce

This isn’t the first time I’ve conducted a Square online store review. I’ve actually mentioned Square Online a few times when reviewing Square’s point of sale (POS) solution.

After all, if you’re already using Square as a point of sale solution, Square Online gives you an opportunity to expand your omnichannel selling strategy with a free online store.

However, in the last couple of years, Square Online has introduced a range of new features, transforming it from a very bare-bones website builder, into a pretty comprehensive tool for online selling.

BigCommerce offers companies a lot of the same benefits as Shopify, including excellent inventory management tools, flexible selling options, and exceptional scalability.

The question is, how do you access that free trial, what can you do with it, and is there any way to extend the trial length (like you can with Shopify)?

Here’s everything you need to know if you’re thinking of launching an ecommerce store with BigCommerce, or migrating from another platform.

BigCommerce Review 2024: The Udated Guide to BigCommerce

Articles BigCommerce Ecommerce

In this BigCommerce review I’m going to be diving behind the scenes of one of my favorite ecommerce platforms, to help you determine if it’s the right solution for your business.

BigCommerce is a platform I've experimented with (and recommended) several times before.

It’s easy to use, scalable, and even search engine friendly. Plus, its omnichannel design ensures companies can access the functionality they need to scale their operations across multiple landscapes.

The bottom line:

If you’re looking for a great way to give your business a competitive advantage, and potentially increase conversion rates, CamelCamelCamel is a great tool.

It’s not a valuable app for consumers (although I have used it to save money in the past). It’s also a great way for sellers and retailers to keep track of pricing trends, and ensure they’re giving customers the best deals.

After all, while shoppers consider more than just pricing when deciding which businesses to buy from, you’re a lot more likely to convert a customer if your prices are better than the competitions.
