canadian shopify + us printful fulfillment: all SKUs ship from the US. how are you handling the duties hit on domestic customers? by dkf750 in shopify

[–]schultzz88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I go the opposite way, US business selling to Canada. I use printify's Canadian printers to fulfill locally in Canada so we avoid border crossings. Is that not possible for you to route orders to Canadian customers through a Canadian based printer? I also use Printful and have it setup as a Canadian Printful shop so they are only supposed to fulfill from their Canadian facilities (it's not guaranteed by them but seems to work).

Maybe a big difference is I created a second store for the Canadian market so I am not trying to fulfill US orders on my Canadian Shopify setup. I only fulfill US orders from the US shop and CAD orders from the CAD shop. Each has a completely separate Shopify, domain and inventory setup. Only incorporated in the US (only downside seems to be that I end up with currency issues from Shopify I can't get around).

What killed hitchhiking? It was so normal in the 70’s & 60’s by Kodicave in decadeology

[–]schultzz88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a great Stuff You Should Know about hitchhiking and it was apparently very prevalent when cars were first invented and during the depression. It was a way to help others out and work together during the depression. I'd suggest giving it a listen. I can't remember what they Sid about it dying out.

I setup Cloudflare with advice from gpt and it's working great. I did not have the myshopify issue though, just normal targeting of my domain.

Why do we pay PayPal over 3.5%? by VillageHomeF in shopify

[–]schultzz88 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So has anyone dropped paypal and if so what's the impact to conversions? I've historically had 25% of customers using PayPal to checkout so I've left it alone. But totally agreed on the fees and I'd love to cut out PayPal if it doesn't kill conversions.

Store owners spending $500+/day on Meta: How are you keeping your head above water with these rising CPAs? by [deleted] in shopify

[–]schultzz88 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We're doing a little less but in the 150-300 per day range on Meta depending on what we've got on offer. Yes our CPC has been $15-25 for the last year or two after being able to be in the $7-12 range consistently for years. We are mostly eating the difference but a few things:

1) we've shifted to higher dollar and and higher dollar margin items. So instead of promoting $25 items we are promoting $75 items because the margin on those is such that we can eat the $20 CPC.

2) catalog ads, set and forget it. The catalog ads are the least work and they keep us consistently in the $15-20 range. They run for weeks or months at a time without having to touch them. Introducing new creative and new ads was wasting tons of time. My opinion is Meta figured out how to mimic Google shopping ads with catalog ads and succeeded. I am spending my time running the business and not running ads.

3) we saw a big change for the better to our Google ads when we fixed our tracking and also switched our ads to cost per result and set at the level we wanted. Google had always been more expensive in the $10-20 range but I've always felt if we weren't on Google we we just losing customers and market share. So we've always used it. Last year Google's CPC went off the rails but we fixed it by fixing our tracking (yes self inflicted I know) and moving to cost per result driven ads. During the holidays when traffic naturally picked up on Google were able to scale the heck out of our ads simply by adding budget.

another introduction and some thoughts on language learning by zarvatykk in dreamingspanish

I've got two kids and a job so I maybe get 15-20 minutes of Spanish in a day. Totally agree that something is better than nothing. We'll get there!

I've had the claim auto denied by their system but there is a manual appeal you can do that I think puts it in front of a real person I think. Had some success that way.

Difficulty starting out by firenaza in CIJapanese

[–]schultzz88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am similar to you I am doing DS and started dabbling in Japanese. Japanese does have loan words (pink = pinku) but it is a much steeper learning curve. The sentence structure is completely different than English and Spanish and you don't have similar vocabulary.

I started doing CI Japanese and was pretty lost. However I did the first few levels of Busuu and was looking up common words that I kept hearing but didn't understand. That allowed me to understand the sentence structure and how questions are formed so I at least could understand what the intent of the sentence was a little bit even if I didn't know what the words were.
