FB should be merciful and buy shopify before murdering them
- Lio 6y agoI don’t know. I realise I’m atypical but I don’t use Facebook products. I won’t shop with sites powered by Facebook so there must be at least some segment of the market that Shopify can still hold.
- sbarre 6y agoI think there's a place for FB Shops, mostly with "small-small" businesses, think "kiosks in the middle of the mall" or "plastic two-colour sign stapled to electrical poles" type of small, but any reasonable business that cares about it's brand and wants to maintain control over itself would still likely be attracted to a more flexible and powerful platform like Shopify.. You give up a lot of control when you use FB, they control branding, UI, UX, etc.. if you don't care about those things and you just want to sell stuff, that's probably fine.. I say this of course without knowing what the future holds for FB Shops.. Facebook is basically already the shopping mall food court and bus stop, they're just adding the stores now I guess..
- codecamper 6y agoFB should pay 100 billion for Shopify?? For 1 million "merchants"? in other words $100k per merchant. Many of these are t-shirt & mug sales sort of people.
