I want to make an online store but don’t want to pay $$$$ for Shopify. I looked into woocommerce and it looks exactly like what I want but hosting companies seem to charge extra for woocommerce options. I have deployed my own Wordpress in the past and know enough about front and back end to work things out on my own. Can I just get one of the standard Wordpress option and install woocommerce on it or does it need something extra in the backend that justifies the extra cost?
Also who do you recommend that is cheap and still fairly reliable. It’s a small shop for handmade customized items.
I just realized that I responded via Mastodon. LOL.
If I were you, I’d look for the most economic platform with the best uptime and support. It might not be the cheapest, but reliability is key.
You didn’t respond directly to OP here. Just a heads up. Also, this is odd. I’m on sync for lemmy and I’m not seeing these responses in my inbox.
