DIY WooCommerce, freelancers, specialist agencies, and managed platforms, with published pricing verified August 2026, the seven questions that actually sort providers, the anonymity trap, and the 24-month math. Written by a vendor, bias in plain sight.
What this market actually looks like from inside it
Arguments and teardowns rather than instructions: what a $15,000 agency build buys line by line, where dropship margin really goes, why the anonymity stack fails the one review that matters, and who wrote the comparison guide you just read. Looking for the how-to instead? That's the guides.
