Recommended Online Sales Platforms for Small Retail Businesses

I’m planning to expand my local sports equipment shop to an online store and seeking advice from experienced entrepreneurs. What ecommerce solutions have you found effective for small to medium-sized retail businesses?

I’m specifically interested in:

  • Your current platform choice
  • Reasons behind selecting that platform
  • Potential advantages and drawbacks
  • Whether you would recommend the same platform if starting over

My current knowledge includes Shopify, but I’m open to exploring alternative solutions that might better suit a specialized retail business. Any insights from those who’ve already navigated this transition would be incredibly helpful!
