I’m looking for some help in moving my Etsy shop over to a Wordpress/WooCommerce site that I fully own and manage.

[dinozombie@metalhead.club]

@britt I was tempted to put an order in but orders outside US/Canada are always more expensive even if we're still neighbors and Canada would be further away 🫠

Before I commit to an order I'd like to know what do you use for shipping? People from fedi have mailed me stuff like stickers, etc and they don't always get here via post office unfortunately

[britt@mstdn.games]

@dinozombie of course! I totally understand. I use a service within Canada called ChitChats, they work with couriers in Canada and abroad, I have a business account with them. All orders include full tracking. Depending on how your local mail/packages are distributed and delivered will determine how the box shows up for you. (i.e. post office delivery vs courier delivery) I ship everything in boxes (no envelopes) with honeycomb paper, with each item packaged individually inside.

@britt Wow that's a cool shop!
I've tinkered quite a bit with Wordpress through Hostinger, for my own portfolio website, and I'd be willing to give it a go for you.

@britt i have *done this* however would not consider myself an expert... The result is here:

From memory the hardest part was linking up Stripe and trying to work out details for taxes and shipping . Which I'm pretty sure are right

Feel free to DM questions - if I can help out I will try

@britt Woocommerce is super friendly to get on with. Good luck!

[greenpete@sunny.garden]

@britt Good move, great to see you doing it!
I hope you get the help you need.

@britt Talk to @tantramar

[uniflame@beige.party]

@britt @toolsontech - maybe for you?

[catwoman69y2k@meow.social]

@britt Very glad I could help!

[britt@mstdn.games]

@Catwoman69y2k I’m sorry I didn’t reply again earlier - I’ve forgotten to a few times as my day went on.

I’m going to check out the websites tomorrow and add them to my to-do’s. Thank you very much for helping out.

[toolsontech@pkm.social]

@Uniflame Glad to see it's already resolved. I rarely do Wordpress anymore as it requires too much maintaince (and stress for me) to keep running.

[viss@mastodon.social]

@britt so where did you end up?

[jenk@techhub.social]

@britt @SQLAllFather I don’t have a good recommendation for a developer but a good web host in Canada that I’ve been using is @websavers and they do provide some web development services as well I believe.

[websavers@noc.social]

@jenk @britt @SQLAllFather

Thanks Jen!

Happy to help; let us know if any questions

[britt@mstdn.games]

@jenk @SQLAllFather @websavers This is great to know, thank you so much!

[britt@mstdn.games]

@Viss I haven’t decided quite yet, I got a bit overwhelmed with the number of folks who wanted to help and got lost in my DMs and mentions. Haha.

Sometimes I forget how helpful the Fedi can be. I wasn’t expecting such a huge response.
