CT SOUNDS review for Zipify Landing Page Builder
April 23, 2019
Zipify Pages is one of the Top 3 Apps on Shopify (along with Zipify OCU)! If you do not have all the Zipify Apps, you are leaving TONS of money on the table. It is nice to find a company that specializes in Landing Pages and Sales Funnels for physical product ecommerce stores. I have used every landing page and funnel builder out there; this one is by far the BEST! Don’t forget this app was created by Ezra Firestone who sells over $25MM a year with just 1 of his many brands using these exact apps. With every builder they have their own drawbacks but Zipify is CONSTANTLY adding new features, upgrading their software, and finding ways to improve. Every week it just keeps getting better and better. The just released 5 new amazing page templates on top of the 24 templates they already offered. You can customize any part of the existing templates they offer, or you can create an entire page from scratch. I have used many other landing page/ funnel builders, the one I have the most experience with is ClickFunnels. Zipify isn't as customizable as CF is BUT I almost prefer that. CF is so customizable that it is hurting the user experience and the learning curve is HUGE. Be ready to watch hundreds of videos and spending hundreds of hours troubleshooting just to figure out how to get things close to how you want them. It is so much more difficult to use than Shopify and Zipify. With CF it takes me 2-3 hours to design a custom page, while with Zipify I can build a similar page in 30-60 minutes. Since it is so customizable it makes NOTHING EASY to integrate so everything must be done manually and often you cannot even get things to integrate correctly. This means you must manually add the Facebook Pixel to each page along with manually adding each Pixel event you want to be recorded and how you want it to be triggered. Often you cannot get the FB Pixel to fire the correct events when you want them too and getting the Pixel to record the sale amount is almost impossible. While with Zipify all you need to do is click a box, one and done! With CF it does not allow you to fully set your own customized URL, you can select what you want the URL to be but the software redirects to whatever URL they decide they want to use with no say from you. Zipify allows you to set the EXACT URL you want, and it doesn't change unless you change it yourself. Another thing is CF is really not set up for Physical Product Ecommerce, there are so many missing features and functions that you will need to get AppTrends which costs $40-160 (depending on your order volume) so you can integrate CF with Shopify just so you can offer the customer’s order numbers and properly manage fulfillment/shipping for the orders. For me this means to would cost me $420 (AppTrends $120 + CF $300) plus the cost of Shopify just to manage my product orders with CF while I can basically get the same thing with Zipify Pages and OCU for $150 (Zipify Pages $100 + Zipify OCU $50) plus the cost of Shopify. That is more than 50% cheaper with better function. CF does not integrate correctly with PayPal, so your only option is to take Credit Cards only. If you have sold a lot of products you know that with Credit Cards the risk of being scammed by someone using a stolen credit card is greatly increased. Even if it isn't a stolen credit card there is still an increased chance of receiving a chargeback and good luck winning it even if you have a tracking number that shows it was signed for by the Credit Card owner themselves. With PayPal you have Seller Protection so if you have a valid tracking number that shows delivered then you are covered. Many buyers prefer to use PayPal as well. It is much easier for them to pay with PayPal than having to pull out their Credit Card and manually type it in every time they want to buy something, and what if they don't have their Credit Card on them? If they don’t, they likely won't buy and will forget about you. Good luck getting them to come back. This is just a few of the MANY differences and drawbacks of other software vs Zipify. I do wish Zipify was slightly more customizable, but I will take function over cosmetics any day of the week. As I said above Zipify is constantly working on making their platform better so if it is missing something you want there is an option in the app to request the feature and there is a good chance, they will add it very soon! They also have an AWESOME support team who will help you with anything you need or any question you may have IMMEDIATELY. So, what are you waiting on? Get the Zipify Apps today!
