    BigCommerce Rest In Peace (Alternatives Re: Price Increase)

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    That's another point against the Shopify ecosystem now that you mention it. I'm constantly getting emails from Developers to leave a review for their App that I've used...even if I've already left one. Leaving reviews helps build some SEO backlinks, which is nice... but here's the wrinkle. I...

    BigCommerce Rest In Peace (Alternatives Re: Price Increase)

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I used Woo for a business prior to this one. It may just be my experience but I found it less accommodating than Shopify. I was newer to ecommerce then too so it could just be that I didn't have the skills/insight I needed. The Shopify UI to dig into front-end to make code changes is well...

    If you're looking to provide value to merchants, scour the Shopify forums. On this issue you can start by looking here.

    BigCommerce Rest In Peace (Alternatives Re: Price Increase)

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I'll look at them again, but I believe the problem with them is that I can't print my product labels with them. I print a full-colour 3" x 4" label that's applied to my 'custom' product at the time of fulfillment. Product labels have been a paint point for sure, but with so many variant...

    BigCommerce Rest In Peace (Alternatives Re: Price Increase)

    I've been up and running with one Shopify store for about a month and a half. Not that long really...but I've been working on it's development for much, much longer. It's evolved into a very custom template. At first I loved Shopify. The UI, templates and app store are really where it shines...

    Mixing Business with Friends

    PEOPLE 
    I believe that partnerships have their place and time but people seem to gravitate to them too freely as they see it as a way to lighten their workload. That's not the right way to evaluate it. You need to look at it in terms of buying strength but at a higher potential cost than directly...

    For those of you considering Flexport. "At this time, we are unable to help clients with their first shipments." And they will only work with shipments over 200kgs. Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk

    Is starting a business EASIER than finishing school???

    F*ck no! Next question? Seriously...it's cliche but true...nothing worthwhile in life is easy. Get over it. If you're not ready to work go back to vegging out on YouTube. I coasted through university, skipped 70% of my classes, studied for exams and passed as a mid-level student. It was a pain...

    Selling shovels time....virtual shovels?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    For some people it's about 'producing' for others it's about being the middle man. You're hitting on the latter (eg selling shovels) but there's also the former (manufacturing shovels). In your examples it's all about putting yourself in the flow of money with the least amount of overhead...

    I'd appreciate any advice or shared experience people might have. I'm about to submit my first order from China. I don't have exact shipping weights/dimensions yet but I need to starting looking into shipping options. Does anyone have suggestions on carriers/forwarders/brokers in Canada...

    Need some @print CSS help

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately none of these solutions were able to address my problem. The only way that I'm able to make it somewhat better is to actually use a negative margin on the left and bottom...ugh...still with px limitations I'm not able to have it exactly fill the page. Either...

    It all depends on your market though. So know your market and your finances first! You might not be able to (or willing to) jump in an buy a 4-8 unit muliplex. While the cost per unit is lower the total purchase price can be high...depending on your market. I assume that you're also new to...

    Need some @print CSS help

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Hey everybody, I'm using the Shopify Order Printer app to print 3"x4" labels for my product and I'm having a hard time generating an output that is full bleed. The app just allows you to use HTML templates to generate a print output so I think there's something wrong with my CSS code. My issue...

    Amazon Made Changes To Review Policy

    I agree with this in terms of fraud. And I'd turn it around to ask how you would approach this then if you were new to the market. Since you are much more established I suspect this new barrier to entry is good news. For the rest of us, it presents more of a challenge. 'Real world' example. A...

    8 Eyewear: From Idea, to Launch, to Growth (And Quitting the Job)

    I agree with the points listed above and would like to add more. Please excuse the gratuitous use of cascading bullet points. :) Unfortunately you're in the fashion industry... so you've got to try to keep the line looking fresh. New colours are great, but they're not enough to keep customers...
