Needed a proper site for my sneaker resale stuff so I went with this. Took me one evening to get it looking decent and orders have been coming in fine since. Nothing dramatic, just works.
Read moreI needed somewhere to sell my handmade cards and a friend suggested this, so I signed up not knowing much about online shops at all. The signup was simple but the dashboard had loads of options and I felt lost for the first few days. Support was helpful once I emailed, though the reply took a day and a half. Getting there now.
Read moreI tried three other platforms before settling on this one and the checkout customisation here is more flexible than the rest. The catch is that the page editor takes some getting used to, and I spent a while working out why my banner wouldn't line up. Once it clicked it's been fine, and the price is about the same as the others.

The checkout is the first thing I noticed, it loads fast and customers don't drop off halfway through. Took me one afternoon to get my first product listed. Would use again.
The free trial was the bit that got me, no card needed and I could just poke around. Built my little jewellery shop in a weekend and the mobile view looks sharp. Support answered my daft question about discount codes straight away, so I'm sticking with it.
Needed a shop up for my candle side hustle and this was the first one I found that didn't make me want to cry. Set it up on my phone in like an hour lol. Checkout works, orders come through, that's all I wanted.
We switched our shop over to their platform last spring and the product import tool alone saved me a weekend of messing with spreadsheets. The theme editor is fine once you know where things live, and the support chat got back to me within a few minutes when my checkout badge wouldn't show. Would happily do it again.
I bought the standard plan to run my trade supplies site and the monthly cost is well under what I was paying elsewhere. Abandoned cart emails are included which I wasn't expecting, and they've already brought a few sales back. Nothing extra to pay for the basics, which is what I wanted.
Got the basic package for my hair products shop and the price is hard to beat for what you get. Discount codes and stock alerts are included with no extra fees. Happy to keep paying the monthly amount.
Coming from a hosted store builder that kept charging extra for every little add-on, this felt much more straightforward. Setting up the product categories took a fraction of the time and the reporting dashboard shows sales without digging. Really glad we moved across.
I'd say this is a sound choice if you run a small shop and want something that just gets on with it. My stock levels update properly and the payment side has never let me down in the two years I've used it. I'm not a technical man, but the help pages were clear enough when I got stuck with tax settings. Happy to stay with them.
I bought one of the premium templates for my stationery shop and it looks far better than anything I could have made myself. The product pages load quickly and the galleries are easy to fill. Took less time than I expected to get everything live.
Honest verdict, this is the best of the platforms I've used for my tool hire business and I've used four. Bookings and payments sync properly and the calendar is simple to read on site. Renewal is reasonable and I'd stick with it.
