Shopify & Wordpress are both platforms (CMS). Woocommerce is a Wordpress extension. Both Woocommerce and Shopify serve the same purpose but one does it better than the other.

There isn't a recession at the min. We're seeing increased performance YOY across the board. I wouldn't panic but do a deep dive into what's changed with your organic / paid / UX etc. There will be an answer but the market hasn't taken a nosedive.

You got it wrong and now you are backtracking.
What is wrong with Shopify or Woocommerce on an SEO perspective versus other providers?

Yes backtracking. The OP asked what platform he was on which you said Shopify (wrong), you then said that Shopify and Woo are both serve the same purpose.
I asked in my previous post what is wrong and you mentioned "poor performers" can you elaborate please?

I found out what I wanted to know. Serving the same purpose doesn't make them the same.
You can Google it. Sites are migrated to open source, when a template platform doesn't perform for the client as they expected every day. The marketing hype around Shopify and Squarespace, etc. is a con. They are not the all in one solution they claim to be.

I don't need to "Google" it. You have come in claiming something with no basis and can't explain when questioned.

Yep.
1st page for most key terms, top 3 if "UK" is included in the search term.
How about yours?

Again you haven't answered my question.
I am simply questioning what you are posting on a public forum because I don't agree with you. Seems to be you are the one who is "P!7sed."

I'm not here to answer your questions.
That's what Google is for.If you don't agree with me, tell everyone how great Shopify is.

No if you are going to claim something and not have a basis for it you are basically spouting crap.I'm not here to answer your questions.
I can tell you the SEO negatives with Shopify but every single one of them we have got round with a solution.
I have no issues with Shopify, I have 2 "side" stores on there and currently migrating our third main store to Shopify + right now.

Top 1 or 2, since the Japanese government runs an international program with a name very similar to mine.

Yes, but Shopify don't tell you that when you sign up. How did you get around the duplication of products or nil subcategories issues?
Awesome!

I agree they don't, I have web developers and an external SEO company as well as a couple in house working on the solutions.
We have scripts running to look at duplication's.
It was the restricted URL structure which our current site is on which Shopify doesn't handle was the most complicated but we got there in the end. The way they handle /product and /collection.

It's the mums at home making candles, cards and soap, that can't afford that sort of development cost, who get taken in by the ease and cost of the cheaper solution. That annoys me.

I understand that and is a fair point.
I guess I am seeing it from a website in very high numbers we have the development resources.
Don't panic. We're getting back on track
Haha we are

A few. I sell a very specific set of Hasegawa kits, that will not appeal to people who are just generally interested in Hasegawa. The people looking for what I sell will be searching for the name of that particular range.

Fair enough.
On the off chance that someone looking for a particular range used the search term 'bandai model kits', (search volume 390/mth) would it not be worth optimising the category? (Descriptive title and category description).
I don't know your buyers like you do, but it seems an opportunity.

You've just answered your own question.
It's just a bad month. Three bank holidays and beautiful weather for most of the country. Buying a watch strap would be the last thing on my mind.

Again, similar thing. Bandai make a large range of model kits (admittedly, one more than all others), that has its own brand name. Buyers will search for that name (~5000 searches a month), rather than Bandai. For that particular search term, I appear anywhere between 2-4 in the search results.
I'll draw a parallel - if you want a model of the USS Enterprise, you wouldn't search for "MPC model kits" or "Revell model kits", you'd search for "USS Enterprise model kit" or "Star Trek model kits".

Yes, totally get that.
My point is probably for others reading this. If you have the opportunity to optimise a category page, you should use it. It's one of the reasons we create categories and subcategories. Both for on-page filtering and for search engines.
