is always up to date, no server maintenance, and the heavy lifting of security Shopify handles it
the only thing i may dislike is the fact that you can not do advanced shipping settings in the store configuration, will be better if Shopify had a more advanced rule system for shipping
the major problem I'm solving is Security and Speed; now that we use this platform, all that effort and time went to driving sales in
The fact that we have the customers information at hand is the best thing because if gladly doesn't have an info we fibd it in shopify
Sometimes, the system is too slow or it fails and that makes it harder, when performing our jobs
The customers infornation is the best thing, because we see the history of purchases and movements and that in our line of work is a great help and booster! Faster
Its simplicity of use, extensive feature set, solid hosting and security, customisable design choices, and top-notch customer service. Shopify is an all-in-one solution for setting up and managing an online store because it offers scalability for companies of all sizes and offers a variety of payment processing choices.
There are restrictions on the customisation options offered on the platform, and it can get expensive as you add more features and plugins to your online shop. Additionally, if a user is unfamiliar with website creation or e-commerce, they may find the learning curve for Shopify to be steep.
Shopify offers a user-friendly platform that makes setting up and running an online shop easier. You can quickly set up and personalise your online shop with Shopify, track orders and inventory, accept payments, and even promote your products through various channels. This helps you because it saves you the time and money you would have spent on website development and upkeep, enabling you to concentrate on expanding your company and boosting sales. Additionally, the comprehensive analytics and reporting tools offered by Shopify give you insightful data about your customers and sales performance that can help you make smarter business choices and raise your bottom line.
Hands down the best part about Shopify is that they are constantly tweaking and adding new features. I've have been using the program for almost 10 years and have tried most of the major competitors as well during this time. I always come back to Shopify.
The biggest downside is probably the cost. For a long time I didn't love their native shipping process, but that has improved a lot and continues to improve which makes the software significantly better.
Shopify gave us a platform that has allowed me to design the parts I am capable of, integrate phenomenal apps and easily hire outside help for anything I can't do myself. When I first got into e-commerce, sites like this were easily $10k to build and now can be self-built and managed.
Shopify is a strong backbone for your business & enables you to open your business up to a network that will empower your online ventures. It is seamless and easy to get started as well.
Customisation heavily relys on coding, otherwise you will have to spend a lot on templates or hiring developers for a custom theme, if you are not technically skilled.
Shopify provides you with extremely flexible ecommerce & brick and mortar commerce features. A strong app network enables you to connect all of your tools together as well, increaseing business performance whilst reducing manual tasks.
I have never seen such application which provides a very user friendly platform which helped me to launch my e-commerce store online.setting up e-commerce site is very easy, along with other more features like payment integration,site customization and SEO friendly.
It's nothing that can be disliked.each and every feature that they have designed is very easy to use and user friendly. the workflow for designing and customizing webstore is in such a way that takes only few minutes to launch the webstore online.however future improvements are always welcome by Shopify!!!
Selling and promoting digital as well as physical goods and services online as a startup to my customers and clients.it's SEO feature is helping me to get the clients and customers of a particular demographic area to reach my webstore in a very easy manner.
Shopify is easy to get started for anyone with some internet experience. No hassle of security and servers unlike other self-hosted platforms.
Shopify is a little slow and can be expensive when it grows.
Launching Ecommerce stores
Shopify is an excellent CMS for e-commerce. I enjoy it because it's interface is a lot more user friendly than something like WooCommerce, and there is a lot more support, including the Shopify Help Community and premium support when you make the leap to Shopify Plus.
If you want to do anything extra in Shopify, it usually is in the form of a paid app. As you can imagine, as stores become more complex, you end up spending more money on maintaining the additional functionality.
Shopify gives my clients the ability to sell their items direct to consumer from an online store. As opposed to selling on Amazon, Etsy, or eBay where there are fees for transactions.
What I like most about Shopify is the cost, the free options for templates to use for your website, the ease of use without coding, and they have amazing customer service!
I cannot think of any downsides of using Shopify. They have payment plans that are monthly or yearly to help its customers save. I guess, they could provide training on Facebook ads that are updated.
Shopify hosts my website in a secure manner, helps me keep track of inventory, set correct margins for items, build my subscriber list, and integrates with social platforms for my live selling needs.
You can view the details of the order processed and the status of the shipment.
None so far. It works perfectly fine with the tasks I am doing as a Rep.
When customers asking to view their past orders, I can still send them a PDF to view their orders.
easy to use, lots of integrations, very plug and play, great UI, consistently improving to make it easier to pick pack and ship
difficult to try out new features in upgraded tiers as their support team is not flexible in that regard and you do not work with an AM
shipping label creation, order fulfillment, ecommerce
Shopify is a perfect platform for small and big e-commerce businesses. Its reports are amazing.
From my point of view, there is nothing to dislike about shopify.
The main benefit of Shopify is managing ease of managing inventory and orders. Its reports are amazing.
It's really easy to use and able to be customized depending on your needs.
The overall bandwidth and customer service weren't the best. With a lot of traffic, it can become slow.
Shopify makes it easy to do e-commerce at any level. Especially when you are starting up a new business.
Ease of use and ease of interface for figuring out and finding everything.
Cannot think of anything that I dislike.
Has helped us launch a new online store that is easy for multiple people to access if needed and see functions and edit etc. It is a well known service and easy to sue.
Intuitive back office, easy-to-manage inventory and orders, customizable storefront to my changing needs, and a wide selection of apps to add when needed. The result is a high-standard e-com shop with very little outside help to set it up.
Discounts can improve; Having the ability to display the discount prior to reaching the cart page will eliminate the need to pay extra on apps for common sale types. I also feel a lot of functions that are now being released only to Shopify Plus customers should be made available to the lower tier Shopify plans as well, such as multiple storefronts for different countries, wholesale storefront and more. It feels like they aren't looking to develop small business plans anymore and focusing on high-volume businesses instead. We can grow and get there with these tools!
Setting up an online store quickly without hiring a web designer and developer for the task saves money and time. The back office includes easy-to-use order management, inventory tracking, analytics, and more.
Shopify is the premier ecommerce solution for small businesses. It is easy to use, affordable and packed with excellent features.
The biggest thing I would change with Shopify is the credit card fees. They are way too steep.
We use Shopify for our business's online store. It does the job perfectly!
As a developer I really like how big the shopify dev community is, I feel like I'm able to see first hand how Shopify keeps updating and developing new features.
Downside currently is some of the B2B features compared to competitors, As shopify is fairly new to the B2B market, it seems as though it's not quite caught up but the constant new features for B2B is exciting and keeps you waiting to see what they'll do next.
Shopify helps us in many ways but what stands out to me right now is how open it is to really create whatever you want to. It almost feels like they give you the keys to come up with your own solutions that might not necessarily be solved by Shopify out of the box. I love the fast UX along with great looking UI to keep our customers engaged.
very intuitive, and customizable, tons of apps to accommodate needs
the FB shop connection is easy to set up, but puts my variants in the wrong order and that doesn't seem to be adjustable
Selling movie licenses for public showings of movies
Shopify is quick to setup and intuitive right from the start. All the systems work as expected. Their support is excellent and quick. Overall a Breeze to work.
India-specific support is somewhat limited. They focus more on Canada & US stores. Specific themes and apps are not well tested. Few untested apps make eCommerce slow and get performance issues.
The ecosystem is fulfilling, with lots of apps readily available for our business cases. This helps eCommerce business to thrive, smoothly, very convenient for merchants.
Shopify is easy to use and is convenient. This allows me to sell products online and reach worldwide by sitting at home. This allows to make a huge variety for customer to choose from. Highly appreciated. Must use application.
I would like to get a phone update of what is going on and what changes Shopify makes. There are times when the emails go to Junk Folder or get buried in many other emails. If I get a message on my cell it will update me with all the details and I can take action upon those.
Shopify helps to connect with many buyers/customers online while just sitting a click away. This is helping in sales and making a huge step in the period like COVID-19 pandemic.
