    Does shopify offer a migration service from tictail? IMO Shopify is pretty cheap. <$100 for system, support, hosting and domain. It won't get any cheaper than this on this lvl of quality.

    Whatever you do, stay away from WooCommerce and other Wordpress E-Commerce stuff, esp. when hosting yourself. WP is too vulnerable and requires a lot of update maintenance to keep safe. When you're loosing customer data because of this it can ruin your whole life $$$.

    • any wordpress site is vulnerable if not secured and on a good host like wp-engine.
      Use SSL and security plugins. Payments handled on 3rd party servers.

    • but yes there are risks and it is your responsibility when self hosting.fadein11
    • I think for someone who is no developer, making WP secure and keeping it secure is too complicated and takes more time from you.mekk
    • Like, two hours of time per month spent with this crap is already more valuable than one month of Shopify or some other service..mekk
    • yep very true. I would defo recommend Shopify in that situation.fadein11
    • thanks for the answers guys, much appreciatedloool
