Do you recommend other things like Shopify? Or do you reckon what do you typically recommend for e-commerce? So I for for for a real, a shop with many many products. Shopify is a far better solution if you’re selling one or two little products that are very specific than. Maybe we’ll Commerce is a better solution than having an entire Shopify system to sell one or two products. It Shopify is just set up for e-commerce to do it. Right? Yeah. And you can now set up. Correct me if I’m wrong Shopify to work within a WordPress site. I’ve not messed with that, I’m not sure, I’m not one or the other. If a client, if a client has an e-commerce store, I would push them into a Shopify store.
