Would Shopify custom shopfronts be the alternative to using Etsy ? Will custom shopfronts be searchable via Google or Pinterest - how do they submit them for indexing ?
- Nmi2osv7 3y agonot "the" alternative but yes they are competitors
- pcdoodle 3y agoCan confirm, shopify will rank in searches but typically if you also sell on these other platforms, the majority of the traffic goes to them. Recently lost amazon due to hoop jumping lockout, sales down on a certain product 80% but that's better than losing 100%. My main complaint is amazon won't let you sell your product cheaper on your own website.

- arp242 3y agoThe big advantage of a platform like Etsy is just discoverability: it's like walking into a store and browsing to see what they have. Everything I bought from Etsy was by "browsing" like this. It's the same as YouTube in this regard. Sure, you can set up "https://sleepytimetea.video https://sleepytimetea.video" and start posting videos, but attracting an audience will be so much harder, and it was never easy in the first place. This kind of thing only really works for people who already have an audience.
