It claims to have much of the linnworks functionality already...

Not good that they can’t set up a demo account though!

From what I can see, we still need three accounts for the three websites... Oh what I wouldn't give for a solution where we could manage all three from one login!
WooCommerce? You could set-up a Wordpress multi-site login.

I would say that if you’re looking to change then write down everything that you want your websites to do, from a functionality POV then speak to multiple agencies about making it happen. Whether that be on Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, OpenCart etc...

One thing I learnt running the agency from a past as a store owner is that store owners are not the best people to spec a site.

A statement of desire is all that a good focused ecomm agency should need, they will then produce a spec that uses all the methodology and proven technique required to deliver the store owners wish.

Many times we told people what they want couldn’t happen on their budget.

Another vote for Shopify, it's brilliant and their customer service is spot on.

So many times we've had requirements dictated to us by company owners and we try to use our industry expertise to steer them back towards what will work and convert visitors into customers.

We started with EKM in 2012 - it was good, quick, cheap with fairly decent support but their mobile experience was pants.

2015, wasted around £20k in two failed attempts at a custom build.

Moved to shopwired, never looked back.

We have toyed with shopify for the next part of our journey, but I cannot see the advantage/benefit.

In 5 years we have experienced 1 serious outage.

But I guess thats life.

You’ve done really well with Shopwired, it’d have to be a very strong feature option to change.
