GoDaddy vs. Zoho Commerce

Good for transferring over an existing site. Truth be told, I haven't used it for building a brand new site-- I know that this is a fairly common thing but I just never needed it. For what I've used it for, it has worked well. For a small business with anyone with a little bit of technical skill, it's surprisingly good.

Zoho Commerce fits well in scenarios for our nutritional businesses have a quick setup for straightforward online sales, especially those already using Zoho tools like Inventory or Books. It shines for single-channel or emerging omnichannel retailers handling catalogs more than 1,000 SKUs, leveraging its drag-and-drop builder and basic automations. Also helps us to grow 5x in the last 6 months.

• Support agents are woefully undertrained, even in knowledge of their own products.
• Support agents will always try to upsell you, even when you're dealing with an urgent, high-impact issue.
• There's no guarantee of uptime, and there will often be gaps in service as part of normal procedures.

• Onboarding Challenges
• Sometimes Inventory Shortcomings
• At some platform Integration Issues but can be done via other sources

We can't really choose anyone else and the cost/effort of moving all of the hosted data would be extremely large, and we just have to stick to them, and hope they improve service

Some integration could be much cleaner and smoother. Seems it used to be easier. Plus, they took away the catch all email feature.

As I am user of Zoho Commerce and having great experiences with it, giving 8 because they need to improve lot because as in market lot of expensive software are presents like SAP and Oracles but that is cheaper than that with similar feature.

I think a lot of companies can learn from GoDaddy's support team. I have found:

• Chat or phone support is almost always available.
• Their agents are friendly and helpful.
• Their agents seem to care and be knowledgeable about a wide range of issues.
• I rarely have to escalate my problem to get the support that I need.
• If they can't help me, then they can tell me why something is happening and direct me to resources that can fix my problem.

We use Wix currently for our online store. It is nice and easy to use, but they don't offer the email domains as well (the last time we checked). They have pretty decent customization of the web page, but still limited. We're going to try it with GoDaddy, since we have other services from them already. It just doesn't make sense to pay two different companies for something we can do with one.

Zoho Commerce was chosen over Increff, Odoo & Unicommerce due to zero transaction fees saving 1-2% per sale, critical for thin-margin retail like 5x growth case. Good CS & IT services and product itself is detailed. Easy to download reports and easy to forecast. Since they are modifying yearly into their system as per customer needs.

• GoDaddy reduces our ROI by costing me in non-billable hours. I don't charge clients for sitting on the phone with tech support to power cycle the server or fix the php.ini file, so my $/hr takes a hit.
• Their nickel&dime strategy requires I have an additional conversation with clients about their max recurring fees. Small as they are, I need approval for upping their bill. GoDaddy is only the cheap option if you don't value security, stability, or performance.

Incentivized

• After using Zoho Commerce sales growth has been improved 15 to 20 % because of clear inventory visibility
• Consumer support has been improved which has increased retention of customer from 25% to 40 % compared when we were using different platform.
• Subscription cost is lower than other platforms related to features
