shopify explained
Shopify is what’s known as “plug and play” which basically means that it’s ready to go immediately. It’s exclusively a subscription-based eCommerce platform with in-built hosting. While it’s not as customisable as WordPress, its popularity stems from its wide range of modern templates to select from–which makes aesthetics and functionality beautifully simple.
why you would use shopify
We recommend Shopify to businesses whose core focus is to sell products, and if that’s not likely to change in the future. Everything is ready to go out of the box so it’s quick to set-up and start selling right away. With in-built hosting and maintenance, it’s the perfect platform for anyone who is not very technical.
Its in-built eCommerce integrations also makes it simple to connect to internal business systems. Basically everything Shopify offers is designed to help sell products, including a wide range of themes, and addon apps like abandoned cart and upsells.

Self Cared’s mission is to make mental health tools & services more accessible to Australians by providing products and content that encourage people to learn and practise real self-care by prioritising their core needs to feel ok.
