A huge thank you to Hannah for her concierge treatment! She helped me with the many questions I had to get started on Shopstar. I am not computer-savvy, and she made the process seamless to get my products in the marketplace. I could not have done this without you!

It has been an absolute pleasure setting up my website with the fabulous support, guidance and knowledge of Bronwyn. She is amazingly patient and has super practical ways of teaching us novices how to go about creating something from only a vision. Her turn-around time on support is simply spot on!

Shopstar very generously sponsored their platform for one of our first online fundraisers, the Maison Market 2021. The support I have received from Shopstar while setting up our online shop has been excellent. If you are thinking of opening an online store I would highly recommend Shopstar.

A lot of thought went into the design of Shopstar's platform — the system is an absolute dream to work with. Wanted to do an online store for a long time and looked at every option. Bronwyn is a super star, I had SO many questions and all of them answered at the speed of light. Thank you for an awesome product!

My experience with Shopstar has been a delight. Setting up the store was straightforward and it was easy to make it look good. All the systems work well — orders taken, payments processed and analytics provided. Best of all has been the cheery attitude of the Shopstar staff whenever I had a difficulty. Thanks Bronwyn!

Recently created a new store on Shopstar — with very limited design experience and no development experience, I have managed to get one up and running and am very happy with the outcome. We have launched and tested the checkout process — seamless! I love that Shopstar supports multiple payment platforms with ease. Customer support also spot on!

The Shopstar help chat has been amazing! Hannah walked me through step by step in setting up and linking my website to my Instagram and Facebook account. I have used the chat at other times when needing help in making changes to certain design features and they have always responded quickly. Great service!

Shopstar seriously is the best ecommerce platform I have ever seen. It's affordable, lots of marketing and ecommerce tools. I moved from Ecwid to Shopstar — I see a big difference and big benefits. Seriously the BEST.

I'm so happy with Shopstar after struggling for months trying to get my online store running. I was able to build my shop with Shopstar within days — the best part is I did it all from my smartphone. Hannah guided me through step-by-step. I made sales within the first 10 minutes of going live. Thank you Shopstar.
