Shopify Software

Pros

It's very easy to get started, regardless of whether you're a large merchant or someone just getting started.

Cons

It can be tricky to customize for complex solutions and it requires that many apps be used to be effective.

Pros

Very easy to set up, monitor, and maintain. Integrates well with many things. Shopify pro with the Flow app is really great for setting up automations and trigger events.

Cons

The notes field in an order is not searchable. They also do not have a native serial number field. Both of those seem pretty basic.

Pros

I really like Shopify's eco system. There are lots of partners already linked their products to Shopify.

Cons

If you need a multi site solution, you will have to clone and create a shop to every site.this is not easy to manage.

I love Shopify's ability to let me make a dedicated eCommerce product page, use powerful SEO functions to make it discoverable by consumers online, make the page optimized for paid traffic if I want it to be, and then integrate a direct link with that page right from a button in Pinterest, which makes the page even more valuable in terms of getting products into the hands of my prospects!

Pros

This is hands down the best online website builder that lets you make an eCommerce (online shopping) website out of the box. The integration features it has are impressive, because you can do anything from integrating buttons into Pinterest posts, to selling T-Shirts that are printed automatically by someone else at a factory and then automatically shipped to people,... it's super flexible and powerful. I use it for two of my online stores!

Cons

The setup time on it is a little long for my taste, but it's probably because I am not as familiar yet with setting up Shopify sites as I am with other technologies.... however, once it's setup it's really, really easy to use!

Your only choice in e-commerce software!

Pros

Shopify is a crazy good product for e-commerce stores. It is super simple to sign up and start selling. The app marketplace (I think that's what it is called) has an incredible amount of add on's that can enhance your store. Out of the box though, Shopify provides everything to get started. I compare Shopify to Wordpress, it's in the same realm, although different markets. If you are thinking about starting an e-commerce site, Shopify is where you should start!

Cons

It's truly a great product and therefore finding a con is pretty hard. I would say the marketplace to sell your store (can't remember the name) could be improved. Because of the way it is setup, you end up with a ton of generic replies and it becomes a waste of time responding to them all. However, this is such a small part of the overall experience that it's not a big deal.

Pros

Relatively easy setup for web pages, domain, and shopping cart. Was able to get a shop up and running with very little issues. There are pre-formatted styles that do make it easy to go with a look and get published.

Cons

Many additional features are not provided natively, but with an app system of 3rd party vendors. They can work and be helpful, but they can also go out of service, no longer offered, or not really cover the functionality you need. Some require manual editing of the CSS script which is scary all in its own right.

Pros

Shopify is easy to use, requiere no technical maintenance (the most annoying aspect of an ecommerce for a non programer) and has the best integrations of all ecommerce platforms.

Cons

customizations need to be done by an expert and payed for obviously. The charge commissions for every sale.

Pros

My favorite part about the service is the overall ease of use (most of our staff can navigate around the UI easily and that there has been basically zero downtime on our e-commerce site.

Cons

The pricing tiers seem to be all or nothing type of tiers. You can either get super basic setup and lose all the features an e-commerce would want or need or you pay 3-4x and get what would be almost necessary features.

Pros

For all my clients I've been recommending Shopify and for good reasons like the following:
- Plenty of pre-built themes available
- It's easy to find inexpensive Shopify developers
- The Liquid templating language is easy to pick up
- You can extend the functionality of the store quickly through hundreds of purpose-built apps
- Shopify support is great

Cons

Shopify doesn't vet the themes available on third-party stores. Quality of themes is not so good sometimes.

Pros

lots of additional features / plugins available
super customer support
ability to expand as much or as little as you like

Cons

too many additional / hidden fees
customer support is knowledgeable but almost inhuman
only good plans have useful features

Helps us maintain and run our online store.

Pros

We use Shopify for our online store. Shopify works great and is one of the best products I've seen online. Extremely easy to use and features are phenomenal. Integrates easily with any available third party apps as well.

Cons

The reports are somewhat tricky and can be limited based on certain criteria. Reports are the only issue I've had with Shopify.

Pros

I love how great of an experience my customers have because of Shopify. It's easy for them to use and works we for me on the backend

Cons

It's complicated to implement - you need a web dev to do it and can't just figure it out yourself too easily like you can on Squarespace

Pros

The customization options available are absolutely fantastic. You are truly able to make your site look professional with all the bells and whistles of an expensive custom site.

Cons

The month to month price of maintaining a Shopify site is a little high and definitely could/should be made slightly more affordable.

A useful all-in-one eCommerce experience

Pros

- Tons of useful features
- Great price for features
- Large amounts of tutorials and instructional how-tos

Cons

-If you're new to the eCommerce experience, setting up a Shopify store/brand has quite a bit of a learning curve but after getting your feet wet it's smooth sailing.

I get the benefit of having my product out for people to purchase, and have a clean, crisp store-front while doing it!

Pros

I literally just finished setting up a store using shopify, and MAN am I glad I chose them vs all of the other platforms out there. From start to finish, it was as straightforward as you can get, while setting up a space out in the internet-world! I very much enjoyed that I was able to ask questions when I got stuck, and not only had real-time answers, but EASY fixes!

Cons

Sometimes I felt like I was stuck in a loop of fixing things, which when I asked for help, turned out was a product of my own making! I wish some of the sizes of graphics was a little more straightforward (if it asked for one size, it turned out sometimes it was a different size).

Pros

If you know what you're doing I think Shopify can be a great option for e-commerce has it has a lot of different options.

Cons

As someone with little tech background I found it very challenging and time consuming to set up and incorporate with WordPress.

Makes my ecommerce business run smoothly and easily.

Pros

The interface is clean and very easy to setup. Includes everything you need to run a beautiful website that just works, no hassles and down time like you get meshing packages of wordpress and woocommerce.

Cons

Honestly there's very little to dislike. I would like to have more visual editing features like using visual composer for wordpress, it has some but it's not extensive.

Creating a virtual store without having knowledge in programming is very easy you can do in a few minutes, has a step-by-step guide to make the design of your store easier, customize it to your liking, develop the design and, finally, add your products , has a design, with more than a hundred professional templates and adaptable to all smart device screens: computers, tablets and cell phones, adapts to several currencies and works in several languages, has a great bank security which is very reliable for me store

Pros

This tool helped me quickly and easily to create my online store to sell the producers that my company offers quickly, safely and reliably, I managed to customize my page as I needed it, Manage an unlimited number of products and inventory that I own , Shopify has a great Ecommerce platform that allowed me to achieve what I expected in a few steps and time

Cons

Some of the characteristics of Shopify are not very personalizable which prevents you from adding more details of your style and taste that you want, The helpline telephone service, at the moment is only available in English

:)

Pros

so far this is the best website builder that I have use. This is very straight forward when you use, so everything is seemless

Cons

all looks okay for me. No issue it's very nice and cool an instant online shop with those functionalities, oh my god. this is a software made in heaven

Pros

Shopify is very user friendly. The custoner service is thorough in answering all your questions as well.

Cons

They need to offer more apps in their store and getting a hold of customer service can take a while.
