Best solution for setting up an e-commerce shop?

Question

Hey! What would you recommend for someone who runs a very small business on the side and wants to sell their products online?

Everything I found is really expensive and doesn't make sense for the scale that I have (5 relatively cheap products, all in the same category, with sales under 500 units per year).

Ideally something with a lot of integrations that's easy to set up.

Thanks!

@dailyfitnessai Thanks! Shopify is quite expensive and Etsy doesn’t really allow for much customization :/

To set up an e-commerce shop, start by choosing a user-friendly platform like Shopify, WooCommerce, or BigCommerce. Customize your store's design, add products, set up payment gateways, and optimize for mobile devices. Create compelling product descriptions and high-quality images, then market your shop through social media and email campaigns. Provide excellent customer service and regularly update your site to keep it fresh and engaging.
