My overall experience has been positive using Shopify as my shopping cart for my store. I felt the transition from Magento was pretty simple - although I did not do the migration that is an option, I ended up starting a brand new site.

I currently use Shopify for my “side hustle” business - selling retro and vintage style dresses online - www.retrovintagedresses.com I previously used Magento for my shopping cart before switching over to Shopify. I like that it’s an easy platform to get set up on and deploy. Also, I love that you can easily create a catalog on business manager to sell products on Facebook and Instagram. Definitely easy to use.

I don’t have any cons that I can think of with Shopify. I’ve been using it for over 2 years and have not had any major issues or set backs.

Easy, helpful, seamless

The ease of use, no real coding needed, don't need another webmaster, price.

Honestly nothing. I left one platform and would never look back.

Easy to set up with lots of integration apps better interface and best customer service

It's a mid-range expansive for new users who has the least information on how to set up a fully functional store and have few issues to SEO

We are only now setting up the store and getting into using the software so my opinion may change over time (although I doubt it will be for the better). Like Yahoo Stores before them they felt the need to write their own program language for the store instead of using tried and true coding that everyone knows or understands at this point. Making it difficult to change or adjust your store template easily. Also like Yahoo they take a percentage of your sales on top of the monthly fees. If someone needs a site for a few items, can use one of the free templates, doesn't want to use too many other features, and doesn't have a dedicated ecommerce manager then this may be a good solution for you. If you need to set up additional metafields or have better control over you SEO, you may want to look somewhere else. Expect multiple monthly subscriptions and fees above the Shopify fees as you will need to use other apps in your store.

Modern eCommerce selling features. Hopefully better shopping experience for our customers than our old solution.

Monthly fees PLUS a per transaction fee. Uses a custom script/language instead of standard coding. (Liquid). Does not utilize WebDAV or FTP for file uploads. Does not allow import/export of anything other than basic product information without use of a third party app. Relies on 3rd party apps to offer features other carts offer out of the box. Cannot customize the checkout process, must do what they say is best. Poor SEO controls.

One of our offerings is sold through the Shopify platform. Instead of having customers go via their CSM to place an order, we required a platform where they could do it independently. By signing up for Shopify, we were able to shave off a significant amount of time and dedicate it to other strategic endeavors for the company.

If you're a small or large business owner looking to sell your products internationally with minimal hassle, Shopify is the perfect platform for you. You may create an online store using Shopify for free or with a premium plan. I've used the Shopify platform over a hundred times already, and not a single customer has been let down.

Not user-friendly in terms of shipping, though; we have to pay an extra $40-$60 per month for ShipStation in order to print FedEx labels. Reports can be exported, and so can. There is room for improvement when working with CSV files; the process is not always straightforward.

The platform is extremely user-friendly and easy to navigate, even for someone with little technical experience, customizable templates and themes make it simple to create a visually pleasing online storeand also it's app store offers a wide variety of integrations and add-ons to enhance the functionality of the store

The transaction fees for using third-party payment processors can add up, especially for businesses with a high volume of salesThe limited customization options for certain features, such as the checkout pageSome additional features and tools can be costly to add on to the basic plan.

Overall I really like shopify, I like the app that comes with it and the more I get to use the browser and the back end it is becoming easier to use. I love that my customers see a professional website.

It looks so professional for our customers, they have a super end to end customer experience when using websites built on shopify.

You have to add quite a few addons to really get it working for you with bumps up the monthly price. Some of the features on shopify aren’t quite as intuitive as you would hope.

easily process payments for services

shopify is extremely easy to use, you can transfer money easily without any hassleI would highly recommend for any small business

I do not have any cons to report, I use shopify daily for my small business

Selling glass and other building and construction supplies on Shopify is a wonderful idea. You can market, handle, buy, and distribute glass goods using Shopify's commerce features all in one location, even directly from a mobile device.

Building a shop on Shopify has some drawbacks despite how simple it is to use and how easily every item is accessible. When you pay at the shop using PayPal or Stripe, a processing fee is applied. Even though Shopify has many templates available, you will need to reformat all of your material each time you make a change.

How much it offers and how easy it is to use it

That I can’t have multiple stores on one account

I would recommend this product to somebody else if you are just beginning your journey with e-commerce and you do not want to waste a lot of time launching or developing a website.

I really like the user interface because it's not complicating to read or review and it doesn't take away time from any person that's just beginning to write or develop their own website.

I do not like the paid website templates I think it should be more open sourced to integrate with sites such as WordPress and woocommerce so that more people can access this platform; however, I do understand they provide a holistic package for small to medium sized businesses which is much more affordable than some options.

Shopify alleviated numerous headaches we were experiencing with Squarespace, made it easy for us to handle pickup and delivery orders (the ability to leave order notes and track an order's history are super helpful!) and has given us great insights into where our website traffic comes from.

We love Shopify's clean website templates, added features like live visitor counts and its thousands of app integrations. Using Shopify has given us the ability to truly understand our customers and their wants and needs through thorough reporting. While we don't currently use all of Shopify's features and apps, we love knowing that as our store grows and changes, the features and functionality of our Shopify store will too!

The administrative Shopify website often loads slowly, so completing basic tasks can sometimes be tedious. While it functions without this feature, we would appreciate it if it was possible to run multi-product purchase orders or inventory adjustments in Shopify - we currently have to increase the in-stock product quantity item-by-item when we receive new orders, which is time consuming.

Love it! You don't require frantic tech abilities, you do not need to bother with an endless financial plan, and you don't have to employ anybody to make your fantasy a reality. This makes Shopify a speedy and reasonable approach to creating a successful online store - No experience needed and you could literally begin constructing today from you mobile or computer!

Shopify is one of the most incredible web based business stages available today, particularly assuming that you maintain a bigger business. It's intended to assist with peopling fabricate their own, adaptable web-based store with many implicit elements, and huge loads of applications. You can sell items straightforwardly on your site, and across numerous commercial centres and web-based media.

There are just ten free subject layouts. In the event that you don't have any of the free layouts you should pay a one-time charge to utilize any of different subjects. In the event that you need broad customization you should comprehend Shopify's Liquid code or recruit a specialist in the event that you don't.

I'm very satisfied with Shopify. It's really the best in its class, and I have recommended it regularly to friends and family members who are looking for an e-commerce solution.

When I launched Shopify originally, I was looking for a solution that would accommodate online sales for my organization as well as in-person sales at our conferences. I had physical and digital items, and I needed something could take care of it all. That's what I found in Shopify. It was easy to implement and it helped the organization increase sales 35% YoY. Since then, I've launched a half dozen Shopify sites, and I just love how easy and flexible the platform is.

My only complaint about Shopify is how much of the platform requires apps. There are a lot of things that some of their competitors offer as a part of the platform that Shopify leaves to their app developers, and it's hard to get nickle-and-dimed when I want to add subscriptions or gift messages or anything else.

I love using Shopify because it’s user friendly and thus saves me a lot of time. The theme choices and app options are excellent do you can really enhance your website and make it look professional.

It’s very user friendly with lots of options to help business growth and development. Customer service is fast and efficient. They are very helpful and friendly and easy to get a hold off. Constant updates and apps to add to your site means you stay up to date with new trends and features. Also Shopify integrates easily with a lot of things you need like Facebook catalogue, other wholesale sites etc. You can basically transfer over your inventory in 1 click. You also get great discounted rates on shipping.

It is more expensive than other options plus to integrate anything eg. Instagram, email newsletter function, galleries etc you need to pay for an app. Some apps are free but very few. A lot of features are only available on the more expensive pro plan.
