Thoughts on bonanza webstore vs shopify and big commerce
Upvote this question 0 Downvote this question

Hi Folks,

I have been planning on launching a standalone eCommerce webstore/site. I have done a fair amount of research in regards to turn key drag and drop eCommerce sites and had narrowed it down to either Shopify (leading contender) and Bigcommerce. Being relatively new to bonanza I am impressed by how “seller friendly” the platform is. Based upon this I am curious to hear peoples experiences with utilizing Bonanza Webstore platform.. successes, trials and tribulations, pro’s and cons of Bonanza webstore vs Shopify… thank you in advance

You’ll want to keep in mind that you can now advertise your items from your Webstore to Google Shopping with our new Webstore Broadcaster feature! This link will go into more detail about [URL removed] https://www.bonanza.com/site_help/webstores/webstore_broadcaster_intro

You will have to do the same kind of self-promotion on any of the platforms you are considering. However, Bonanza makes everything easier to do than any of the other platforms out there. The main way to promote your website through any of those platforms is through Google Adwords. Bonanza makes doing that SIMPLE. In addition, simply by maintaining a free Bonanza BOOTH, your Bonanza WebStore is automatically stocked, displayed and ready-to-go. Whatever is in your Booth is automatically in your store. In addition, the payment processing for buyers is through Bonanza’s system making it easy for you to accept payments.

Finally, the last time that I looked into it, a Bonanza WebStore is also the least expensive of them all.

Prestostore would be about the same since Presto contributes part of the monthly fee toward promoting a website on Google shopping. :)
