Notice to all my amazing non-local folks! You and I are going on a journey! Today I closed my Shopify account. The fees are too many compared to my profits, and so I am going to treat myself better and look elsewhere for something to evolve to. I do more in-person sales than anything, but for those of you who aren't my next door neighbors, I still want to provide something a little more professional than just my Venmo and a tracking number. π Maybe I'll learn Square and how to do all the cool things with that being that I am already a customer. But for those of you using Shopify, I'll give you an example. The entire year of 2025, I made $137.60 in sales. $91.83 of that went to fees. π That's just not sustainable. So, farewell, Shopify. I bid you adieu. Onto bigger and better things for the future! I do have something in mind! A small, woman-owned business I came across on Tiktok! She's really shooting for something positive here, guys. It's only $5 a month. No fees, because she believes we should KEEP the money we earn. Love that. Queen. π
Anyhow, I'll give it a shot and keep you guys posted! Especially my other small business owners! We've got to look out for each other, right? In the meantime, if you need stuff from me, you KNOW I will make it happen. Thank you for the love and trust over the years. Here's to the future! β€οΈ
