### "You can turn Shopify into whatever you want (legally)"

August 1, 2025

5.0

Shopify Plus has been great for our small business. We are able to pretty much use it as our entire ERP. Impressive.

Pros

What I like most about Shopify Plus is that it truly delivers the full value of every dollar you spend, provided you make the best use of it.

Cons

Shopify is built with Ruby on Rails, which then has it's own templating language called Liquid. If you don't like coding, this may not be for you.

### "Good Solution for E-commerce"

June 9, 2025

5.0

My overall experience with Shopify has been great. The customer support hasnt been needed often, but when it has been used, the employees have been very helpful. We will continue using Shopify plus for the foreseeable future.

Pros

I like the ability to customize the most about shopify plus. As a growing business with complex needs, customization has been important. I also like the customer supper and ability to access beta programs.

Cons

100 Variant limit is the worst thing about shopify plus. Though, as I understand it, that limit is about to be removed.

New marketing manager chose to switch. He thought it would be simpler, and he was right.

### "They overpriced, oversold, and under-delivered on Plus for SMBs "

June 20, 2025

1.0

Pros

The ability to customize checkout and enjoy lower CC processing fees, as well as other basic features they gate-keep behind plus

Cons

They fraudulently represented the features and benefits included including priority support and merchant success teams that literally do not exist beyond "growth manager" sales reps reaching out to up-sell you on taking loans or buying other services. Furthermore after we cancelled Plus, they kept billing us for one of its features (POS PRO) that transitioned into a separate active subscription that we never authorized or used, charging us $5k+ over a year that they refuse to refund.

### "The best CMS"

July 21, 2025

5.0

Pros

easy of use, pricing, and every third party integrates wit hit. Also we can have 9 stores within the same shopify plus pricing

Cons

There's nothing we don't appreciate, we love everything and would not switch to any other solutions at this time.

### "Great for E-commerce"

July 26, 2021

4.0

We had a very good experience and our work was done very swiftly.

Pros

The Process to start a new website using Shopify is very easy. It is also very simple for new users with no developing skills to start with Shopify. Integration with most apps is very convenient and can be easily handled.

Cons

Some of the features need some time to understand and need good knowledge about a particular feature.

Reason for choosing Shopify Plus

Because Shopify is much more user-friendly than others and it had many more features with integration with many apps and extensions.

### "Yeah look not much different to not plus "

February 18, 2023

4.0

Pretty positive besides my site being hacked

Pros

I like the features that are offered for the platform and I really like the integrations you can use in the software.

Cons

I just don't think it's worth the money and It's not much different to the non plus version.

### "Great for bigger business."

May 2, 2025

3.0

Overall, we had an okay experience. There were some features that we really loved but a lot of the features we wanted, we still needed to purchase apps for. We wish there was more support throughout the entire time we were with Plus.

Pros

I enjoyed having the checkout liquid to customize the checkout process. I also enjoyed having access to the launch pad app.

Cons

The price for us wasn't worth it. It's incredibly expensive and i think it's more useful for B2B business. We have a hard time using the full value of the platform. We were promised support throughout to grow our store but it went away once the platform was fully set up.

### "Willow Boutique LLC Shopify Plus "

April 28, 2025

5.0

Pros

Shopify is a one stop shop and without it we would not be where we are today, the apps and channels that can be integrated into the software that work seamless make our day to day so simple. Whether you are a small business or large Shopify will cater to your every need. Navigating Shopify plus is seamless as well, all the information that you could need all in one place. Fast bug fixes, whenever shopify crashes it is back up within 2-5 minutes and no outreach is needed ever. Thats top notch! Universally Shopify is being used by businesses throughout the world, making starting a business easy and fun! Shopify plus caters to the businesses unique needs and workflows.

Cons

Not much to put here, sometimes shopify will update how or where something is shown on the page. Without notice of the change it can cause a little bit of confusion if you are not able to locate the change or adjustment it can be frustrating but nothing that has caused us too much admin to solve.

### "Shopify plus gave us the ability to scale without sacrificing control."

June 22, 2025

5.0

From a cybersecurity and ops standpoint, Shopify Plus helped soothe our compliance risk, while providing the robust capacity the marketing team required to confidently run high-volume campaigns.

Pros

I liked Shopify Plus as an IT lead for their enterprise level security and the flexibility of the API. We were able to drop in our own custom checkout logic, SSO, and automated workflow without impacting perf.

Cons

The price scheme is steep, particularly for functions that often involve third-party apps. I also feel support response is slower during peak seasons.

May 19, 2025

Extremely happy with it, so many integrations, reporting tools, ease of use for everyone including those not technically inclined.

Pros

So user friendly, up to date with newest innovations and trends, multiple integrations you can use, very efficient reporting

Cons

They assign you a n account manager but they really can’t help, promise you the world then move on, and give you a new person who does the same thing.

### "The easiest way to build your online business"

September 4, 2021

5.0

Overall we are pretty happy with the platform, compared to the other platforms out there it suits our needs and helps us to manage our business and strategize for growth.

Pros

What I like the most, is that the platform is super intuitive for different levels of e-commerce professionals and entrepreneurs looking to start a business. Shopify grows with you are your business grows too, offering more features and functionalities to suit your needs.

Cons

One thing I do believe Shopify has a big room for improvement is the way to visualize reports, specially showing a way to visualize how different collections perform and within one collection which product is selling the best and the worst. And that by default shopify stores are slower compared to online stores built from scratch, developing.

### "Best In class e-commerce solution"

February 25, 2019

5.0

Pros

Shopify is a very powerful platform that can run any e-commerce store from the smallest startup to the largest brands. The software has many users contributing to its platform and is very well documented, making it simple to find ways to customize your store. It is a very flexible, yet easy-to-use platform that can be customized in many ways. I have looked into other various solutions but Shopify offers the most our of the door. It offers many apps that can increase the functionality of the platform.

Cons

The Shopify Plus option is much more expensive than the previous options but offers a lot for the price.

July 22, 2022

5.0

Shopify Plus is a very important tool at work, I use it a lot and it has been very useful.

Pros

I am able to use Shopify Plus on multiple webpages while handling 3+ customers at once. This has made handling multiple customer a very easy.

Cons

Sometimes when you are signing in, you are forced to do an insane number of reCAPTCHAs.

### "Free Demo sold me right away!"

August 10, 2018

5.0

Awesome, if you're thinking about it, just go out and try their free demo, you've got nothing to lose. If you find it's more than you need, you can check out the other cheaper and free options.

Pros

Free demo is good to get a taste of what it's about, and it sold me right away. I've used shopify before on personal, small projects, but this gives you tools to manage a much larger revenue stream and be confident in it. The platform is super easy to use if you have even a small amount of experience with eCommerce sites and operating them. You can get up and started very quickly, post new items very quickly, it's great!

Cons

Some issues with shipping customization that I had to find a workaround for, by updating pricing instead of shipping dimensions since you cant do that.

July 11, 2018

5.0

Pros

It gives a lot of flexibility to larger businesses to have a great shopping experience for their customers, accumulate the data needed to manage their store, and a partner and app ecosystem that has great teams involved helping to solve real business problems.

Cons

Much like the other versions of the Shopify software, the cost of goods would be a very useful feature to be included.

April 19, 2018

5.0

Pros

The front end of Shopify is really great. So many choices for templates to make a beautiful store. They are also dynamically upgrading the store and keeping pace with tech.

Cons

Reporting really stinks. They are in the retail business but offer very little in the way of retail reporting.

### "Shopify Plus is easy to use, accurate and bug free. Couldn't be happier with the software!"

February 23, 2018

5.0

Pros

Our team loves how easy it is to manage all our orders. From the customer experience of placing the order, to fulfilling and tracking data, Shopify Plus is a must-have!

Cons

It's hard to say a bad thing about this software. If I had to come up with anything, it would be that I'd like to see a better search function if products don't have item numbers. Ours don't, so when we enter the name of the product and the size, sometimes we're not sure if we're getting an accurate picture of how many pieces have been sold, or are left in stock, etc. Bu the problem is a small one compared to all the plusses.

### "More stable and scalable Ecommerce platform in the market"

October 11, 2018

Our business was struggling with a bad ecomm development and we were able to relaunch with full capacities and functionalities in time record. First month of operation we grew 10x only with our organic traffic.

Pros

Great usability Lots of features Scalable and stable No errors Best app store Big community Lots of documentation Digital Marketing ready SEO ready

Cons

It's very close in terms of checkout development or integrations. Specially for markets outside the US is pretty hard, almost impossible to integrate alternative local payment methods.
