I've tried a lot of e-commerce platforms in my almost two decades of selling online. The one that never failed me was Shopify. It's the software that runs this digital shop and was the platform I used to scale my successful physical product-based business to multiple six figures years (that was thousands of orders processed seamlessly per year).

For my custom website design projects, I use HoneyBook for all the invoicing, contracts, and payment processing. I've tried several other client flow management platforms designed for solo business owners but none of them were as easy and straight-forward to use as HoneyBook.

While I use Google Docs for just about everything, there are a few projects that I prefer to have a project management system for. My go to is Clickup because of the ability to setup a project template once that can be used over and over again. The bonus is that clickup remind me about deadlines and allows me to delegate tasks to other people on the project.

While my preference is Shopify (even for digital products), SendOwl is a great choice for adding an e-commerce (online shopping cart) element to your business. SendOwl is a platform that helps individuals sell digital products, subscriptions, memberships, and more. It's super easy to use and the price can't be beat. If I wasn't so familiar with Shopify, SendOwl would be my go to!
