Poll

Should I create a Shopify website to sell my singles, instead of using Itch?

Yes, if the UI is really better on mobile and if we can get access to previous transactions. 1
No, I prefer Itch 0
Don't care, I use subscriptions on Pateron instead of singles. 2
Do both, continue to post on Itch but promote the link to the Shopify Website for a better experience. 3

I made also a pool post on DA since I'm not sure if the singles customers are there and not here, but since we run this business together your vote has greater weight here. I list the pros and cons:

Pros:

The UI should be clearer for mobile users
SEO optimization control
Bullet proof from any more censor.
You guys would still have a way to get to my sequences, should Patreon or Itch ban me.

Cons:

Costlier than Itch (Domain, App subscriptions, extra tax fees)
Downloads will be sent to emails at first as zipped files. I have yet to find a way to display them on the website, under the section of the user's account.
More manual work of linking my posts to the new website.
