We also had great support for training and development for our employees. In addition we found many reports we could use to help make projections for growth.

Software is easy to use. Customer service is very helpful to resolve technical problems.

Overall my experience with this software was horrible. I would not recommend it to anyone.

Overall, extremely poor customer service, lack of timely follow up, a constant change in personnel and ultimately they did not deliver on the Professional Services outlined in the contract.

The support from Petrosoft was very disappointing and I spent a considerable sum with my accountant while he tried to help them sort out the issues (we eventually abandoned the effort entirely).

Navigation is difficult with odd menu positions and names for links. Data between reports often does not tie.

It takes twice as long to go back and figure out what someone else has messed up so that you can go back in and fix it.

Trying to pull reports for something and you have to go to many different places to get report. Adding multiple UPCs to one item can be a little difficult.

I like the cstore mobile app as it updates me about my store sales/profits real quick.

Unfortunately, I had used the software for a year before recognizing its deficiencies and have only continued to use it because of the difficulty associated with moving to a new software.

It helps tremendously with the overall operations of our locations. It brought our stores from marginal to profit makers.

The accounting interface with quick books was unusable for my application, probably due to formula errors in the C Store office software.

Multiple Years with System- and we are still growing with it.

Now we have to fight them to reimburse our for the funds we paid upfront.

I run multiple computer platforms for different areas of our company, and this is by far my favorite because it is both easy to use and is very stable and doesn't lose information.

Once we signed up and I called him concerning an issue he was extremely rude on the phone with me and I never got the issue resolved. Their representative was so unprofessional.

If anything it made inventory harder because they would change retail pricing and had everything under the wrong vendors, departments and categories.

Very positive and highly recommend the software and the company. Many options for expanding features as needed.

I was excited about getting software to get our store's inventory straightened out.

Cstore overall is a great company to work for.

Many of the reports in its portfolio appear to have formulaic errors and produce data that is unusable.

The upfront cost is small to none and it is very easy to use.

There are frequent updates which can be confusing. Wording/names of buttons will change with no warning.

The interface of the software is so good and attractive. It enables an easy payment processing and it helps in creating online stores easily without diffuclties.

Its ability to allow multiple people to log in such as employees or other people allowed to make sales with such ease is wonderful.

The support was responsive and the number of plugins is pretty outstanding for a platform this sized.

Shopify is hard to get a grasp on and you often do not know there is a problem with your marketplace until money is lost on the issue.

Greatest benefit is the Growth of the options offered and Shopify helps the user-business owner of the site use awesome marketing tools and apps.

Shopify is really fantastic. At first I was put off by the cost but the ease of use and customer service is excellent.

My overall experience with Shopify has been great and I am loving what it is doing for my business.

The adult novelty shop was killed when the credit processing was pulled leaving our client dead in the water.

It has great designs and functionality which allow you to have a great looking website for a fraction of the cost.

The shipping is great on here. I really enjoy how easy it is to ship items and also as a buyer its great too.

The looks and styles you can choose for your site are stunning. I also love how easy it to use, so you don't have to be a tech wizard to make a site/business on Shopify.

We really like working with Shopify, it's super user friendly so everyone from out team can jump in and help whenever needed.

Plus i love the fact that they have shopify capital which provides you a certain amount like a loan for your business and i think this is great for small businesses like mines.

This is a great ecommerce CMS and has great integrations to help any small business. Tip: The forums are actually very useful.

Shopify offers the best eCommerce solution with good competitive pricing. It is a safe and trusted bet for emerging businesses.

But on the admin level, it does show it's connected and we don't know why it has that difference. So the user option is limited and has misinformation.

The ability to track sales, and collect funds virtually anyway possible is great. Their customer service and care is way better than most companies.

Actually there are no many disadvantages or problems with Shopify. Premium subscription is a little costly.

The online guides are helpful, and the system is amazing. They take care of payments, orders, and marketing.

It has a good degree of flexibility to allow you to customize your front end - but the main plusses are the ease of creating an inventory and the eCommerce integration.

Customer service is great and super friendly. They are available during odd-hours, which gives us store owners more confidence.

Overall I enjoy the ease of use with Shopify and my customers are happy with their shopping experience.

I liked that it was very easy to use, lots of tutorials and guidance on how to use it to the best of your ability.

I love how easy this platform is to use. I feel that I can accomplish more with how easy the platform is to navigate.

You could create a fabulous site in just a few hours & their customer service is fabulous - positive people & positive solutions.

Shopify has been really good to me. the customer service is good and it's fast and easy for my customers to use to buy off my website.

I like the most in this is it has easy ecommerce website building feature and good support from shopify team. I have seen they help in many formats to build website.

Everything about this platform is fantastic. The service, the data, the ease of use, the mobile app and the integrations.

I am very pleased I went with Shopify compared to other options. The price and ease are perfect for my small business.

Overall, we have had nothing but positive experiences with Shopify. I think that it is a great program, and is mostly user friendly for those who are not super tech-savvy.

The only complaint I have is that  I have to pay 30 bucks or more a month to use it depending on the package.

It can be hard sometimes to make changes on a design end, you can be blocked in by templates which can be frustrating especially changing between mobile and desktop.

The small budget to start , and the tools that helps you to get more sales in your store. And the amazing templates that were really professional and helpful for my costumers.

Shopify is one of the best, if not the best, online store builder. It is so easy to use, have great analytics and the set up team is awesome.

Integration with CRMs can be a hit or miss. Integrating with Agile CRM over the years has been getting worse with some clients just giving up.

Shopify is a web-based e-commerce platform that offers a mobile POS (mPOS) system. The mPOS enables users to manage their business and complete transactions in-store as well as at markets, pop-ups, and trade shows. The e-commerce platform enables retailers to sell online and reach their customers through mobile and social media channels.


Shopify’s mPOS features inventory management capabilities that can sync with e-commerce store so users can see their actual inventory for both assets. It also features store management capabilities, such as reporting and analytics, staff management, order histories, and customer management.


The e-commerce software facilitates setting up an online shop through Shopify’s website builder and blogging platform. Payment is managed through its shopping cart feature, which is backed by 70 payment gateways.


Shopify provides search engine optimization (SEO), email marketing, social media integration and a discount code as a part of its marketing module. The stock count can be tracked in real-time and products can be de-listed when inventory runs out.


Shopify's analytics module can be integrated with Google Analytics to track sales, visits, and referrals.
