5.0

Luis V.: My name is Luis. My position in my job is a warehouse administrator. The company has approximately 6 to 5 employees, depending on the season. It's a small company and it's a manufacturing company and I give Shopify 5 stars. It's a great, great platform to use. The problems that we bring and solve us using Shopify is the websites that we use, it gets to our customers in an impactful way because we get to show what our company is about using the websites that we make in the Shopify platform and it just creates a better view of what we do and so far, it has helped many of our customers with their business. So we also recommend our customers to use Shopify as well and it's very, very cost-efficient as well. It's priced very well. I'm surprised of the price that they have. So we enjoy using Shopify a lot. The most that we love about Shopify is how easy it is to use and again, it's very convenient. It reaches people all around the world. It's not just the United States that we live in. But it reaches people. We have customers that we reach all the way to Hong Kong, all the way to Australia. So it's something that's not just centered in one small area. It's something that's global, we could say and it's a great, great platform, to be honest. One thing I have noticed about the platform that we don't agree on is sometimes when we try to ... This is the problems that we've had. When we try to log into the platform, it gives us many times errors. We don't know why. There was one time that we did get, in a sense, it was compromised. But it wasn't to a degree that was very serious. But we got hold of Shopify and they told us that it wasn't a common issue and it might have been something that we did at our end. But as everything else that Shopify offers we're really okay with it. It was just that one little thing that we were concerned about for a little bit. But we got through it and we figured out the problem and we figured out that it was our fault. So that's it. That's all I have to say.

Gaelle E
General Director
5.0

Gaelle: My name is Gaelle. I'm the owner of a toy distribution company here in Montreal. I give Sana Commerce five out of five, five stars. And for more reviews like this, please click the link below. Before moving to Sana Commerce, we were using Magento eCommerce, and we were linked with our GP Dynamics with i95 Connect. The reason why we left Magento is that we would require the help of developers and coders on a daily basis to make simple changes to our website, as well as the information that we wanted to display from our ERP system to our customers. The reason why I chose Sana is that Sana is a fully integrated system hosted for me. That gave me a lot of independence, and I had all the capabilities that our business required for B2B and B2C needs. Onboarding with Sana has been extremely easy. The system was first integrated with our ERP system. All that I had to do was add attributes to our products and categorize some clients. On the eCommerce side, on the website side, it was a matter of drag and drop, and building my own site without any coding knowledge. Sana Commerce has a huge library of YouTube videos called Sana University, which has been a key for me to understand the Sana logic. And I built my website in less than a week. Moving to Sana has been so seamless that I would highly recommend to anybody in the distribution industry, either B2B, B2C, or both combined, to move to Sana. I don't believe there is a trial period, but there is an extensive library of videos that you can watch to get to know the product. And their sales team is excellent at doing demos to show you the capabilities of Sana. Their support team has always been extremely available, both on the technical side and on the sales side. I highly recommend it.
