I've been using a Wordpress/Woocommerce combo for going on 6 years.  Easy(ier) to build, abundance of themes and plugins to work off from.  Main reason for staying is I have so much of my own time (some money) invested that It's really not worth giving up for anything else.

Never heard of Big Cartel platform. Are they easy to use with Square? Is the cost reasonable? What all do you like about them?

I've been using Square's website (weebly). It was cost efficient and easier for me to integrate with Square. I have been wanting to expand to Etsy as I sell craft supplies, but need to look further to see if I'm capable of doing so. If anyone has a better suggestion of webpage to check out, I'll happily take suggestions. I'm struggling with getting online sales right now and not really understanding what I'm doing wrong.

I also have my own domain, the platform is Wix and uses square for e-commerce. I love it! I couldn't take on building the site the way I wanted it on my own, so I hired a web designer via Fivver! It was a great decision! ๐Ÿ™‚

I use Weebly with Square.  It was so easy to set up and I love that I don't have to update inventory when I sell something online or in person.  It automatically adjusts.  I love that they're adding more options to help keep up with other online platforms as well.

I currently operate Noodle Cuts as a shop on Etsy but the fees are sucking us dry, including advertising fees.  Been comparing Square Online vs. Shopify and am "this close 99%" to using Square Online.  I'm looking for easier setup & integration to payments being made through Square and the Shopify costs are high.  Also, I don't want to spend hours working on an ecommerce and running late on order fulfilments.  A big learned curve for me but I'm up for it!

Square is super easy to work with if you have inventory. You can download the square inventory setup and just add all your stock lists into that then upload it back to square. I love the simplicity. Only thing I have to do after adding my list of inventory is go back through on weebly and add pictures to the items and make them online noticeable. That's the only slow part of dealing with the inventory system.

I have a Shopify website, which works great.  I sell online and at local farmer's markets and pop-up markets.  However, Shopify's credit card reader is unreliable and I usually end up having to enter credit card information manually, which is a hassel and time-consuming.  So, I am going to try out Square's swiping credit card reader now.  I'm hoping it's easier to use and more reliable than the one I have from Shopify.

I currently use Wix but I don't get any traffic. I pay a lot of money each year and it's impossible to keep up with inventory when I sell through several social media platforms as well as at in-person events! After reading these comments, I think I'm going to take a close look at the Square website and see what I think!

Weebly via Square - to be honest, it has been one of my easiest experiences with an eCommerce website, after trying with numerous other platforms.  Easily connects to my square terminal, and easy to set up new categories etc.
