My CommerceHQ Review will NOT just look at whether this is the best Shopify alternative [year]. This review is by me – Grant Ambrose from Australia – and I used CommerceHQ for MANY years and used it to make millions of dollars in sales with my CommerceHQ stores (see below).
I wanted to point that out because I’m personally tired of trying to find reviews of a software / tool I’m thinking of using for my business, only to have Google give me affiliate articles that are bias and you can tell the writer has never even used the software.
How this CommerceHQ review is structured
Now, for this review of CommerceHQ, I have decided that the following format will give you the MOST IMPORTANT information you need to be able to choose the right ecommerce platform for you and your store:
- I will break the MUST-HAVE features of an Ecommerce platform into separate headings
Each heading in this article will be what I think are VERY IMPORTANT things that you, as someone who is starting an online store, MUST-HAVE in a store software for your Ecommerce Brand to be successful. This is based on me selling online since 2017 full-time and starting a lot of different stores on different platforms along the way. - For each Heading as I explain each feature, I will compare CommerceHQ vs WooCommerce
I left CommerceHQ and moved my store to a CommerceHQ alternative called WooCommerce. Under each heading, I’ll explain the pros and cons of using CommerceHQ vs WooCommerce so that you can get a better idea of whether or not CommerceHQ is good or if you might be better of using WooCommerce like I currently am.
I think this review will be very helpful for you because I have used CommerceHQ for more than 2 years and I have also used WooCommerce for much longer.
CommerceHQ Review summary
Below I have listed the main features you should be looking for when choosing an Ecommerce platform to start an online store in [year]. The star ratings I have given are comparing CommerceHQ with WooCommerce. The higher the rating, the better CommerceHQ for the point and the lower the star rating, the better WooCommerce is.
Now, onto the pros and cons…
Above are some very important pros and cons of CommerceHQ when you compare it to WooCommerce and other ecommerce platforms.
So summarise this CommerceHQ review into a few sentences, it would be as follows…
If YOU came to me and told me that you are NEW to selling online, you are LAZY with technology and you really can’t be bothered learning a new software, then I would say CommerceHQ is worth checking out.
Other than that specific case, I would always recommend using WooCommerce because of that scalability aspect.
You never know if your online store will be successful and take-off and you don’t want to be stuck inside a software that you can’t customize.
Sure – there is a case that CommerceHQ might get you online faster, but still – is building your online store a bit slower really worth being stuck in a software later on in the future. Don’t let your current lazy self hurt your store in the future.
That’s my take on this – and hopefully, by the end of this review, maybe you’ll agree with me.
I just can’t honestly recommend someone go and get locked into a system / software, because it happened to me and I don’t want it to happen to you.
My journey to finding best Ecommerce software
I started my dropshipping-from-AliExpress ecommerce store during the boom in 2017.
… but I have since stopped Ecommerce.
I am now spending my time learning to code and build websites inside of WordPress.
One of the main reasons I am doing this is because of my ecommerce exerience.
The only reason I was able to start my Ecommerce store is because I knew how to build a website.
This meant I could get a store up quickly with Facebook Ads going to it the next time – fast and without having to pay a designer or developer.
I am really passionate about helping business owners start and manage their own WordPress websites.
