We talk to a lot of businesswomen who are killing it on social media - but one of the biggest headaches we hear a lot about social media selling is how time-consuming it is to do everything manually when you’re making sales in your groups.

But lots of you have questions about when and how to use CommentSold:
❔ Should you be using Shopify instead?
❔ Can you use both?
❔ Can you switch?
❔ What’s better?
Today I’m here to answer your comment selling questions!!!
CommentSoldallows customers to purchase directly through comments on Facebook or Instagram. Comment Sellers can then go live, post videos or images with their products and guide buyers to claim their item by commenting “sold” on the post.
A little background: CommentSold was founded in 2017 by a boutique owner and her husband. The husband noticed that his wife was making a killing selling clothes on social media and decided to help her scale the business by developing, you guessed it: CommentSold - an automated sales process with no more manual invoicing.
Since then they've also introduced apps and a webstore option to their product line.
Okay, so let's now look at some of the advantages and downsides of choosing Shopify.
It really comes down to your business goals.
If you’re running ads or want to scale or want a nice website - Shopify
If you’re selling well from your FB group and that is your priority - CommentSold
We recommend having Shopify as your main site, with a landing page and you can run ads and organic traffic to it.
If you have a FB group, then definitely have CommentSold for this so you can look after your customers really well in there. This means no manual invoicing and managing orders and inventory - let Shopify and its integration with CommentSold do that for you!
Then you’re all set to scale, baby!

Here at Hot Mess, we have a lot of love for both these platforms, but we know it can get confusing out there.
Hopefully, this guide has helped you get clear about what each platform does best, which one might be best for you, and how they can actually work together!
