I currently have multiple websites on both Squarespace and Shopify. And here's the thing: both Squarespace and Shopify are excellent website builders BUT they have MAJOR differences.
This video is a deep dive on those differences. We go through ease of use, ecommerce, templates, pricing and more.
The most important thing to understand is that Squarespace is a tool for building all kinds of websites. It's for bloggers, businesses, authors, teachers, lawyers and more. Shopify on the other hand is just for online stores.
Personally I use Squarespace for any small website that I'm building. For example, I use it to build my Mom's small business website and my music website.
I do occasionally use Squarespace for small ecommerce stores. For example, I sell a vinyl record on my music website because I don't really sell that many vinyl records so it totally works.
I use Shopify whenever I have an online store that sells a product more than once a week. Shopify just makes it much easier.

Putting a full experience that needs many months or years of work into 10 min, in a clear and concise way too! That's amazing, you made it easy for us, thank you
The most straight forward video I have seen on CZcams. I have watch a lot of videos on web sites.
Thank You
WOW, this comparison video was informative but to the point, no BS, super useful!! Beautifully edited. Thank you 🙏
This was a pleasure to watch! The “EASY BUTTON” of comparing both e-commerce website builders that I’ve seen on CZcams, bravo and thank you!
This is the most informative, to the point, and simple breakdowns for this that I have seen. Thank you!!!!
This video is not only informative but actually lovely to watch! very creative with the transitions and sound effects choice 👏 Thank you!
Je ne commente strictement JAMAIS les vidéos. Mais c’était un bonheur de t’entendre. Tout est parfait dans cette vidéo. Ton ton, ta voix, les informations, le montage, la musique. J’aurais pu t’écouter toute la soirée en mangeant du pop-corn, haha. Bravo.
I genuinely loved this video! Who knew ecommerce comparisons could be calming, reassuring, pleasurable. The sound design, tone of voice, sweet little moments made my day.
This was SO good, easy to follow, and cleanly edited! Wonderful content! Thanks!
So helpful, succinct yet informative, and an easy watch. Thank you so much for the video
What an amazing video. Great presentation & straight to the points. Appreciate it !
wow! Thank you.
I really enjoyed this.
Watched - or tried to watch - several other videos around same topic, yours was the only one I watched in entirety
Nice work
Thanks so much for this video, super helpful for getting my small business store going! So well done
Steve I've found your videos so helpful and informative, and a pleasure to watch - thanks 👏
Thanks Geoff!!
Just trying to get my new business online and this was super helpful. Well done!
I'm starting a brand and it seems to me that it's just quite hard to communicate my brand messaging through shopify...but then again it has the payment processing option which just seems so much easier. So I don't know what to go for.
You are very good at explaining some of the most complex subjects around in your niche. Thank you.
Great comparisons! Thanks for sharing your takeaways at the end-v helpful. What about digital/download products? Would you recommend one over the other?
A pleasure to watch! You helped a lot. Thank you
I really appreciate the work you put into the backgrounder. This is a great video.
I appreciate that!
Was an absolute fantastic experience watching this video

Thank do much for your video. It really was informative and well put together. It helped me get a lot of information I was questioning about both.
Thanks for explaining in a simplified and logical manner.
Thank you, that was very helpful.
Starting a new e-commerce company. This was extremely valuable!
I am close to tears trying to work out what to do to feed my self and my dog. This helps greatly. Live long and prosper.
Simple and to the point….very helpful as well. Thank you.
Hi Thank you, how do we pause buying with all ecommerce in a date period when shipping is not available in squarespace? without pausing the website?
Nice comparaison, I like your edits they're just fire 🔥
Thank you! I appreciate you taking the time to say so 😊

Hey question. If I was looking to start a Location based website. Where you can look up different products from different stores around the country on the same site. Would you suggest Square space? Been trying to find the right type of website but it's a little confusing. Thanks!

Thank you for video so helpful
I’m struggle froma while with my WorldPress e-commerce store and I would like to switch to shopify but It’s possible to keep my domain from WP and use it in shopify? Is it any YT video that could help my with that process? I’m green with that 🤭 I will appreciate any help 🙏🏼🙏🏼☺️
Great video. I watched it in 1.5 speed and it was perfect for me. U are super thurough ! I’ll use your link
this video is amazing. Much appreciated.
this is a brilliant and well made video thank you!
great work, ty
Wow, the best 🥳🥳 thanks so much
Great video! Is there a difference in SEO between the two sites? I'm wondering if my organic traffic to my shop would improve if I switched from Squarespace to Shopify.
awesome review!
This is such an amazing video, thank you Steve! I feel less anxious about choosing the right platform for starting my business.
That’s awesome!! Very glad to hear it was helpful 😊
Great video!
Steve that was super straight forward and like Geoff said, a pleasure to watch, it really was.. beyond informative. What platform would you recommend for goods rentals in a local area?
Hmm. Are you hoping for customers to be able to rent the goods through your website? In that case, I'd look for a Shopify app that does that or see if there is a dedicated rentals platform out there. Rentals are a very specific use case so it's unlikely a website builder will do a good job of supporting that out of the box!
@@stevebuildswebsites thanks Steve, will certainly look into the Shopify apps options. Thought you may already be familiar and have an opinion of a 'Rentals' Platform product, if any exist, so will do the research on that too. Thanks for your time to answer my question.
This video is amazing. Thank you!
Glad it helped!
Really valuable thank you
Great explanation
Helpful!!!
Starting my own POD journey and considering Merchize for fulfillment. What advice would current/past users give based on their experiences?
so informative thanks..I clicked the link
Glad it was helpful!
so my website/blog will need 4 or 5 pages of expandable templates. Meaning i can add as many images and text as i want. I can drop in a few images and put the text anywhere, or i can add 40 images with short discripters anywhere i want. for me it is going to be an open page that i can drop images anywhere i want and continue down the page with as many images and text i want with no restrictions or one open template that does the same as an open page i.e., as many images as i want and texts where i want. is there a way to do this? my old website allows me to design with flexibility (i am replacing the old with a new site). my old page allowed me to continue a them as long as i wanted. You could scroll down the page and continue a subject or style as you wish. It seems to me all these news apps limit how, where and many things you can add. please respond. thanks.

Sir I hired a company to design my pancake website but the home page layout design is not at all appealing it's under process from past two months can you please please help me out by your previous review.
Hello am an expert in website design and development I can help you with that
does paypal work with shopify?
This is a great video, although the prices seem to have drastically changed only within a year. Monthly subscriptions now $39 basic, $105 shopify, $399 advanced, in USD... the cheapest option is almost $60 for me (in Canada). I'm new here so maybe you have a video on getting more traffic, cuz at almost $60/month, its a bit steep to test the waters on a product idea, and I would imagine pausing a subscription doesn't do you any favours either
thanks homie
How the hell can one just switch from one to the other whenever something "sells more than once a week"?
What if its just digital products you're selling? A lot of shopifys pros mentioned int his video don't matter as much. Only thing I can think of its the erxtra payment options that gives Shopify an edge. But I love how you can edit pages more with Squarespace since I want to integrate a blog with my store.
If Squarespace had the ecommerce backend capabilities that Shopify had, it would be the best platform!
So for someone who is just starting a small business from a hobby. Someone who instagram followers are only 70 which do you recommend 😅
superbe vidéo
Glad I made the right choice.
What choice did you make?
@@johnouk55 square space
Question, wouldn’t it make it easier to combine square payment processing with squarespace?
I'm a beat maker audio engineer trying to sell my beats with a live player and proper leasing set up in the app. Anyone with Shopify experience have any apps that work for this ?
👏
Bro... Wait what??? Why aren't you using shopifys website builder that's been around for years... It has live view and a side panel to organize things like galleries and slideshows...
It's great! But it's a theme customization tool - not an open-ended "page builder" like Squarespace or Wix.
Thing that sucks is shopfify nickle and dimes you to death with the apps!
hmmmmmmm
I wasn't wild about your price comparison as it was pretty inaccurate. Shop-iffy basic plan has a 2% fee + 2.9% credit card fee. Squarespace basic commerce fee is 0% + credit fee of 2.9%.
The Shop-iffy basic plan is going to cost you WAY MORE over time with the extra 2% than Squarespace basic commerce!
That’s not correct. What country are you in?
you channel is dying lol
Crisp & Clear - Great Video, thanks
Thanks for watching!
I just lost my senses in this satisfying presentation 🥹 its super lovely ❤
Excellent video!
Thank you!
