Greetings, how's everybody doing?
There are some things that I want to sell but I don't want to go through Amazon or any other company.
What do I need to do to create a site that can allow people to buy from me directly?
Any information will be of great help. Thank you in advance.

Re: A commerce Website
Do you want to build and host it yourself or have something a bit more "ready"?

yeah, shopify is good for beginners, especially if you're selling products that need shipping. if you're selling virtual products that are on-site (like access to a page with a specific video for example) Woocommerce works quite well, but the setup has a bit of a learning curve....but it's worth getting into it.

Thank you Ayu. Wouldn't mind something a bit more ready as well, but I don't mind building and hosting.ayu wrote: ↑23 Jan 2023, 07:32Do you want to build and host it yourself or have something a bit more "ready"?

Funny you mentioned doing video cause that's one of the plan. But I'm thinking of doing it as a sort of streaming type download that www.payloadz.com allows after you've uploaded it with a price.
