      IMG_20210403_151658_901.jpg IMG_20210502_163746_856.jpg Wondering what a goodnplatform would be. I want a small shop that I can sell about ten to twenty things at any given time, and have a gallery/portfolio of my work. Squarespace? Something else?

      Im looking to sell ink and watercolours or mixed media paintings, as well as my original sculpts. No prints, just originals.

      You get the idea!

      Has anyone had luck with squarespace? Is the shop feature good? Does it take care of calculating shipping?

        @kylebeaudette I use squarespace and its super user friendly. I haven't switched to having a shop through squarespace yet but I plan to. I set up my husbands shop on squarespace to sell his guitars and it was really easy even though he basically just uses reverb for now. There is a 3 point perspective podcast where they talk about how great the squarespace shop is for selling.

              @K-Flagg i just tried to navigate squarespace and found it terribly confusing. They had me choose a template, (the example was a soap shop) but then I had to go through and delete each and every part of the soap shop template?? I got super frustrated and quit.

                Hi @kylebeaudette, I found Weebly very easy to use. You might give it a shot.

                  You could set up a WordPress and use the WooCommerce plugin.
