Pattern Website Hosted by Etsy

Has anyone had any success with their Pattern site????

As of today I have 6000 visits and 1 SALE in the past 12 months and I've had pattern just over 1 year.  Everytime I go to my website and pictures do not load properly...some show up some don't.  Called Etsy help last year and they never called me back, but I got an email that said it was my browser...

It wasn't my browser - Google - it is set correctly...even happens on my IPHONE....I have friends check on their computer and it does the same thing and they don't have issues with any other site and their settings are correct....

Love to hear others experience....

I'm not sure what's happening but I've heard from a lot of people that Pattern isn't worth it. It's better to just make your own website using shopify or another platform. Since Etsy "controls" Pattern, I didn't think it was the best fit for my shop, so I never tried it. Also, they take the same amount as Etsy does (which is a bit ridiculous), when shopify takes only a fraction of your sales than Etsy does. Just putting my two cents in! lol But again, I can't say much because I've never tried Pattern. But I do have a website through shopify, an Etsy shop and an Ebay shop.

I realize that you posted this quite a while ago, but just wondering if you have had success with Shopify. I have had a pattern site for a few years and, maybe, have had 3 sales. Just looking for a better avenue to sell. Thank you!
