I'm only selling one product

[Griff]

Whats up fastlaners. I have a quick question that I'd like some guidance on.

So I'm looking to start my own brand of a certain product. Well, technically its a couple things combined but I'm selling it together as one single product.

The whole package deal is going to be the main item, a couple accessories, and probably an ebook guide to go with it. For now, I don't plan on selling any more than this.

What platform do y'all recommend for selling a single product like this? Shopify? Bigcommerce? Wordpress?

WordPress has been an excellent solution for my business and should be more than enough for your single product. I run products and subscriptions using wordpress, woocommerce, and a couple extensions to make my life easier.

I'd go with whatever you can get out to the public with the fastest. What platform would be easiest for you? You can always change platforms for a single product (without much trouble) later on. Get it out there and make some sales.

WooCommerce.

Shopify seemed too rigid to me. But I guess thats their goal.

I haven't had much luck with any of the off the shelf platforms. I would only use them for their bulk import feature, big commerce is the best for that but I had trouble adding alt tags to the images. I'm exploring Shopify again after a break and it seems their SEO has gotten much better.

My advice, go with wordpress or squarespace, the latter is a little more restrictive but it can be up and running in a few minutes. wordpress has tons of great plugins and adaptability but it is a little harder to use. Also look into PayPal payments pro, cheapest I've found for payment processing.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the responses everybody! It seems like wordpress/woocommerce is the way to go. I have experience with wordpress already (I have a blog) so I was leaning towards that anyway.
