    Shopify, Prestashop or what else?

    I'm not sure what you'd consider good but I've just checked my shopify store with semrush and it scored 925 for site performance with an average page load speed of 0.28 sec.

    Shopify, Prestashop or what else?

    We use Veeqo. It only integrates with Shopify, Prestashop, Woocommerce, Bigcommerce and Magento. It does have an api so could get a custom link made but that's beyond my capabilities or budget.

    Shopify has stopped sending payments

    I agree with this but I guess Antropy was referring more to the likes of a merchant provider (such as worldpay or AIB) who are much less likely to do so as they are more regulated than the likes of PayPal who just seem to get away with doing whatever they darn well please.

    Jumping e-commerce system (Woo? Opencart? Summat else?)

    The company I worked for also fell foul to hackers. The hosting company (Rackspace) swore blind that the server we had wasn't vulnerable. We showed them scans that proved it was, and they refuted them saying the scans were wrong. Hackers managed to intercept customer credit card details and our...

    Shopify, Prestashop or what else?

    To be perfectly honest, if Wordpress is that poorly built that a FRONT END theme can slow down the backend that has a completely different file system, then that’s good enough reason to give Wordpress a wide birth for me.

    Shopify, Prestashop or what else?

    I didn’t install a theme, it was the default setup on the Woocommerce demo site and it was painfully slow.

    Shopify, Prestashop or what else?

    I can’t see the default theme with Wordpress slowing down the backend. Slowing down the frontend, perhaps but the file system for the backend is totally different.

    Shopify, Prestashop or what else?

    To be honest, my biggest issue with Woocommerce is just how slow the backend is. Even on the Woocommerce demo site, the backend is incredibly slow. Wordpress was never designed to be an e-commerce solution, it was designed for blogging. Its whole backend is designed for blogging, even just...

    Shopify, Prestashop or what else?

    I'm all for that. I just have a mental block about using something that was designed as a blogging platform for a busy eCommerce business. Obviously I know woocommerce has its benefits and is a successful and well loved eCommerce platform nowadays but it's just not for me. I'm also not saying...

    Shopify, Prestashop or what else?

    I agree but I honestly don't like woocommerce and will never be converted.

    Shopify, Prestashop or what else?

    Yeh, I've seen this. I have to say, the id numbers in the Prestashop URL have never caused me any issues, I just don't like it.

    Shopify, Prestashop or what else?

    Anyway, just to get the thread back on topic, there are things I don't find particularly helpful with Prestashop either to be honest, like the way the product id number is part of the URL for everything, be it content pages, categories or the products themselves. That in itself surely doesn't...

    Shopify, Prestashop or what else?

    I wonder if, being a £33m company, Emma Bridgewater uses Shopify+ Anyway, I was just looking at their site and where my site structures urls as domain.com/collections/**collectionname**/products/**productname the emma bridgewater site is domain.com/products/**productname - I wonder if I've done...

    Shopify, Prestashop or what else?

    Not quite meeting your targets but if you search 'candles', the 2nd organic result (candlesdirect.com) is a shopify store and that has a search volume of over 9,900/month.

    Shopify, Prestashop or what else?

    I kind of get what you're saying re product categories...it suprised me that Shopify doesn't have proper categories and instead uses collections, however, I hadn't realised that the same product in different categories would end up with a completely separate url...that's something worth looking...
