The Shopify platform is a richly supported online and retail solution

I've attended a Shopify master class speaker event, done some studying along a roadmap towards certifications on the platform, and I've begun some nominal work upon creating web stores as a developer seeking to start establishing an E-commerce and brand management solution.

PROS

There are many aspects to the Shopify software platform, including 3rd party app development, e-commerce, retail Point-of-Sale hardware, affiliate programs for referring merchants, professional learning articles and paths to professional certifications of the Shopify platform. In addition, the Shopify experience, for users, admins, developers, partners, etc. is richly engaging with Shopify retail store events, here in downtown Los Angeles. Shopify's retail store presence features master classes from professionals who have successfully launched brands and online and physical stores using Shopify's technology and features, as well as their own third party establishments which integrate nicely within the Shopify platform.

CONS

There's a high learning curve to establishing a professional web presence in an E-commerce setting, and many steps and lessons to learn along the way, but for dedicated developers and entrepreneurs, the Shopify app is a truly viable tool for establishing an E-commerce web presence.

Reason for choosing Shopify

It seemed that there are much more well-established marketing campaigns and user engagement with the Shopify platform.

Reasons for switching to Shopify

Google Domains offers various development platforms out from their custom website domain purchase and management solution, of which I first chose Blogger, yet I find that Shopify is richly supported with a local retail setting that features productive and engaging events to burgeon professional efforts in gaining an E-commerce web store presence, as well as handling many other development concerns of starting a web store.

Shopify is growing very fast, but website speed has slowed down a bit lately.

As someone who has thoroughly explored the features and functionality of Shopify, I can attest to its power and versatility as an e-commerce platform. I can confidently say that Shopify stands out as a top-notch platform for establishing and growing an online store.

PROS

Shopify provides a reliable, user-friendly, Quick & Easy Setup, Flexible Payment Options, and a feature-rich platform for businesses to build, manage, and grow their online stores.

CONS

The price has increased since a few months ago, so it is a bit expensive compared to other solutions. And the price of 3rd party apps is high, so the monthly cost is a burden. And these days, when working on customize theme in the admin page, loading is not good or the speed is slow.

Reason for choosing Shopify

It is easy to use, easy to install, and does not require professional technical programming skills.
