Is WordPress better than Shopify for blogging?
I started a self-hosted blog a couple of years ago through Bluehost/WordPress. Since then, I've been slacking on the blog posts, but I have opened an Etsy shop that has been fairly successful. I plan to open a shop on my website in addition to Etsy, but after much research, I think I prefer Shopify to my current WordPress. I know WordPress syncs with WooCommerce, but I feel that Shopify may be the better way to go. Does anyone have experience with WordPress? Why do you prefer Shopify? How would switching affect my hosting through Bluehost? Would I still need them? I also have a business email through Bluehost - would I lose that as well? Is Shopify compatible with blogging?Asked 2 years ago

What is the best app for promoting a discount on the second item purchased?
I would like to try and increase the average order value of my store by getting clients to buy more than one product at a time. I thought that it would be best for me to offer a discount on the second item purchased. I have already created the discount in Shopify, but now I am looking for a way to promote the discount on the product detail page and in the cart so that customers can be notified about the discount. I have already tested a few 'notification bar' and cart upselling apps, but none of them seems to have the functionality to customize messages in order to incentivize the discount on the second item purchased. What is the best app for promoting a discount on the second item purchased?Asked 2 years ago

Are there any good alternatives to the Bold Upsell app?
I have been using Bold Upsell for a very long time. I have found that it does not convert very well and it is quite expensive for what you get. I have also found it to be quite difficult to configure and pretty clunky. I also have "Frequently Bought Together" built into my store and have personalised it to some extent. I am looking for an alternative upselling app to Bold Upsell that I can use on my Shopify store. I would like to increase my upselling and conversions. Any suggestions?Asked 3 years ago
