Why People are Switching from Shopify to FlinchNot
If you are anything like my clients, and let’s face it like any other entrepreneur, your main goal is to make money and have their products sell. This does not mean that you may not want to help people, provide them with a service, or impact their lives, but the bottom line is in order to help them, they have to buy your product.
So, the question you should ask yourself is where are they more likely to make a purchase, and where are you saving the most money?
Customization
Customizing your online store is a crucial aspect in order for your brand to:
- Gain visibility
- Get recognized
- Allow for a user-friendly experience
With Shopify you get limited options when it comes to creating the online store that you envision. You can change the typography and the color of your templates, but then you hit a roadblock and need to be able to code to further create modifications. In addition, you can only have 100 variants per product, which makes it impossible when you want to provide even 3 variables with 5 options each, such as colors, sizes, prints, etc.
With FlinchNot you can do all of that and more by:
- Customizing the layout of your store
- Customizing each aspect of your template from menu bar to the product cart
- Using the drag and drop module that makes the process as easy as possible
- Having as many variables as you desire on a given product so your customers can see exactly what they are purchasing
A lack of customization can make the difference between someone buying your product or moving on to another retailer. If they are having trouble navigating your system, cannot see the product they wish to buy in the color of their choice, or even do not feel compelled by the layout and brand image your store provides, they may decide to look elsewhere and you are losing out on potential sales.
Price Point
The first thing you need to know is that FlinchNot is 26$/month, while Shopify ranges between 29$ to 299$/month. There is a large difference in price between both stores.
In addition, with Shopify you have to add third party apps for basic features such as having swatches for your color choices! Which means that you are looking at an additional 4-30$/month in app fees! It is important for you to note that apps can require coding and may create bugs. These same apps are also going to slow down your store, which directly affects if customers stay on your page or leave.
Choosing where to create your online store is about making the financially savvy decision, that is why FlinchNot is what I recommend to my clients!
