    thank you guys very much for your answers!!!

    @mekk, @hotroddy:
    i think you might have gotten the wrong impression - it's not that i can't cover 30$ monthly or that i don't want to go for it as the business isn't ready.
    The shop was on the platform which was 9$ a month and working well, then that place gets sold and is asking for 30$ a month and being the cunt that i am - i won't just accept it and pay up immediately...i'll sniff around first...

    i wanted to explore my options and see what i can go for with more experienced people from the field i'm not very familiar with...this served me well in the past, squarespace is not an option i looked at before nor i knew about tictail long before i started using it...

    as i said earlier - instagram is the primary selling point here and the online shop is only for secondary things that don't sell immediately on instagram...therefore i hesitate with 30$ per month for something like that, that's the main reason...

    @sted: i'll present the idea to my wife (it's her business after all) and hit you up if that comes up as a decision

    once again thanks a lot for reading my long question and for taking the time to answer them questions - i'm really grateful and this community never fails to provide the answers...

    • Are they closing down tictail or incorporating with shopify? I can see why shopify would leave a bad taste in your mouth after the tictail buyout.hotroddy
    • but that doesn't negate the fact its easiest platform to work with. and there is an instagram channel.hotroddy
    • woocommerce is about same price if not more after purchasing the license, hosting, etc and you have to set it up yourself which isn't as convenienthotroddy
    • and the woocommerce interface backend sucks and very datedhotroddy
    • yes they are closing it down on the 1st of april...loool
    • oh snap. on april fools. sorry bout that.hotroddy
    • you can save yourself $72 first year if you sign up as an affiliate. https://shopify.com/…hotroddy
