Hey so I would like to start a business using Shopify clothing with different designs, does anyone have any suggestions on how I should start?

Why you need a shopify plus plan if you get similar type of wholesale in basic plan.

Do business owners actually move away from Shopify to custom ecommerce websites, or is Shopify still the clear preference for most?

If switching, what usually makes you consider it? Monthly fees, customization limits, performance, ownership, something else?

I’m asking because I’m deciding whether to keep focusing on custom ecommerce builds or pivot to a different service/market.

I’ve never paid for a Shopify premium theme but this time I am pretty serious about this brand and I was thinking about buying. I know there are lots of stores making 7 figures on free themes but since I dont know how to code custom features on a free theme and make it look pretty I was thinking about investing in a paid theme, is it a good idea?
And also i was reading if I close this store this store I can transfer it to the new one right?
Can this be done unlimited times as long as I meet all the requirements by Shopify ?( such as closing the previous store and being the owner ecc)

Thanks!!

I want to create best wishlist in shopify.

Here are few ideas in my mind:

Customer can save from product cards, product page. Cart drawer open from right side. And merchant can customize the header icon according to need.

Merchants can see analytics of wishlisted items.

Customers can share wishlist using shareable link.

For logged in customers, wishlist is saved in metafields without using any database.

Wishlist can be seen in the customer dashboard area, and on checkout you can offer wishlist items with 5% discount.

Also if the customer places an order, and have some items in wishlist we can offer them 7% discount through email for wishlist items. Because they didn't buy the wishlist items from checkout.

What else can you add here to improve the system?

I built an AI system for my own Shopify store that automatically replies to customer support emails 24/7, pulls live order data, handles tracking questions, escalates angry customers to me. Took me months to build.
