About Me:

1. I have no coding experience but I am a quick learner and could definitely pick up the basics.

2. I plan to run multiple stores at once. Shopify costs a minimum of $30 per Store per Month. This is expensive, because I plan to run multiple shops during my learning phase.


I have heavily researched marketing and SEO but I am not fully aware of the pros/cons of Shopify / AliDropship.
I would love to hear responses from people who have used both.
Is there a clear winner?


I care the most about long-term (customization, scalability, etc).

What are your thoughts?

Edit: Price comparisons? AliDropship is a plugin of WordPress right? How much does WordPress cost?

wordpress = source code free
hosting for wordpress = siteground is 5 dollars per month
alidropship plugin = $90

shopify = 30 dollars for hosting and platform
there is no alidropship for shopify so you're on your own.

this should point you to the right direction already.

I noticed that Shopify includes a plugin Oberlo which allows importing...

It also provides one-click ordering... Once a customer has paid me, I click one button and it essentially copy/pastes their shipping info into AliExpress

Does AliDropship provide this functionality?
