I would make adjustments as I could to help convert customers. I still feel like it's the best place to only sell products but still a bit costly to make a really nice design. I now hire virtual assistants to make all the changes on the site and manage it but that can cost too so it's great there are API's to help grow the business, which all cost more money though, some are free (Reddit, pinterest). Overall, I will still use the software. Pros Sleek designs, easy to use, easy to keep track of products and sales, great third party API integrations and marketing software, and simple to run. Many Virtual Assistants already know how to use this software which makes life very easy for me. The simpler, the better. I have several shopify stores and I aim to make passive income in this realm. Cons Templates are limited, a lot of the development is backend yet I'm a visual person so I like to see everything as I'm doing it, and it can get a little overwhelming with all the integrations needed to turn a Shopify store into a massive profitable business. I feel like the best templates cost too much money and the ones we are offered look basic and not easily customizable. It could use a better blog feature section and a bit more visual aspects such as videos to help pitch or promote the business. Maybe even used for online courses with private logins would be great.

However I'd like a more complete software allowing me to pair an actual website (consulting, online courses, etc...) to this to make me full appreciate it.

Pros Spotify has one of the most cheapest subscription plan. - It has songs, podcasts and audiobooks available on the platform. - The user interface of the application is fluid and easy to use. - Songs get listed on the platform as soon as they get released. - The quality of the sound output is rich. Cons I really love how Spotify organizes their music. There is a lot of music on the platform, and you will have a hard time not finding something you will like. Being able to select and artist and just play a shuffle of their songs is nice. Review Source Prem Kumar B.

Pros As a developer of Shopify and a user too at the same time , I loved the Easy to use the platform . It's not difficult to use .But as there are always a level to up so , I will say that please add the whatsapp chabot to a section in help section so that any one can connect quickly.And hence It will improve the user experience Cons The developing part is not that much easy. It should be a kind of configuration too. So that our experience as a developer may be easy. Review Source Jeremiah T.

April 7, 2022 4.0 Shopify is a good platform for someone new the game as long as you don't need help with a missing product. Pros The software was easy to use and function was great. Cons The issues for me came with price and customer service. The cost seemed steep for what I needed. Trying to get help meant articles and chatbots that didn't understand my issue.

Digital marketing Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "An amazing platform for small and startup businesses" April 9, 2024 4.0 Overall, Shopify is the best platform for small and startup business to grow and make their brand known, easier and cheaper, even if its a little hard when getting started in the designing world, it gets you hooked up and you can never be disappointed. Pros makes it easier to get your brand up and running, cheaper and easier to work with.

March 25, 2021 5.0 My overall experience with Shopify is that I will not be deleting my Shopify website! I love the platform, love the themes, love the many ways you can customize the themes, and love the thought that SO many huge companies are actually using Shopify as well! Fashion Nova, Steve Madden, Staples, etc. all use Shopify for their websites! Amazing to know someone small can create a website like the big companies and become successful all on their own! It’s definitely worth the time to give a try! Pros I liked that Shopify’s platform is very easy to use, even for a web-developing beginner! You need absolutely no skills to build a Shopify store that will amaze your website visitors! Simply select a theme that fits well with your store’s niche and go from there. There are so many app add-ons that you can download to your Shopify store to make it POP. And the best part? You can utilize their free-trial to build your website with no restrictions so that possibly at the end of your trial (like me) you are already ready to launch your store with the $30/month subscription! Cons I definitely do not like that most app add-ons are additional fees. Once you realize there are other apps you want/need, the cost adds up to where you will find yourself needing nearly a $100/month budget (unless you select a higher costing Shopify subscription, that can run you up to nearly a $200/month budget). More free (not just free-trial) apps need to be available because not everyone can afford to keep paying monthly for everything, ESPECIALLY during this pandemic. A reduced monthly subscription fee during this pandemic would have been super considerate! Alternatives considered [WordPress](https://www.capterra.com/p/131687/WordPress/) Reason for choosing Shopify I have been using WordPress for years, and I can tell you one thing—Shopify is much more affordable and gets the job done, especially for an eCommerce website. From only using Shopify’s free trial I was blown away. I am definitely sticking with Shopify! Review Source SG Samuel G. Farmet Farming Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Review Samuel" June 4, 2022 5.0 Overall i think that shopify is the best way to start with dropshipping and also to start your own business. The costs aren't high for that what this sofware offers you. Very user friendly and the support is a 10/10 Pros I think that shopify is the best way to do e-commerce. It is very user friendly and after a few days i understood everything. I like that there is also shopify payments. This helps me a lot to get the payments instantley to my bank account. It is very easy to design your own website and it doesen't require any coding skills. The support team was very friendly and they helped me instantly on the live chat. Another feature that i realy like is that you can see how many people are on your website live. The statistics are greate you can see how many people purchased in what time periode. Cons It would be realy nice if you could open more than just one store in an account. Sometimes the wensite designer is bugging a little bit. Another feauter that i don't like is that you have to pay for extra websites. And many apps cost a lot of money Review Source Nikhil R. Assistant marketing manager Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Beneficial for every small-mid sized businesses" April 24, 2022 5.0 As I mentioned Shopify is helping me grow my business online with its many features which are very attractive and well organized. Its all feature attract people to products. The best part is I am not from a coding background still I'm able to develop a digital platform to sell my products with the help of Shopify Pros . Helps in growing business digitally . Very easy to use . Also easy installation and implementation . Customer care executives are very helpful and polite in nature . It provides services on both mobile apps and website . Suitable for non-coding background business person . Very well organized and attractive interface Cons I haven't found that many issues to dislike about this platform, sometimes it didn't refresh data on time, it may be a server issue.

Started a business back in college and used Shopify, made quite a bit of beer money which was great. Pros Beginners can make easy use of this software like I did around 5 or so years ago. Advanced users can toy around with CSS if they want. It's a great platform that has a lot of easy to use and useful features. Great if you want to start simple but eventually learn more and more as you progress and learn advanced techniques. Can't really do that with Wix, and I thought Squarespace would be the same way based on what I've heard about it. Want to open up a store online right away for a low cost and come out with something that looks great with minimal effort? Shopify is for you. Cons I really don't have anything bad to say. More customization if I want to get nit picky, but I'd just go to Wordpress and build something from scratch there if I needed to, it will just take me longer so Shopify is the way to go as long as it has everything you need, and for a lot of people it does. Review Source MP Maura P. Sales manager Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Shopify, the best option for any small business!" August 10, 2022 5.0 Shopify makes it easy to manage inventory & sell to the customer, but also is super useful for managing sales & cash flow. Pros The software is easy to use on a business side & as a customer in my opinion. You do not have to be a tech wiz or hire someone to manage this stuff you, Shopify makes it super easy & manageable for the average business owner & employee to successfully run a business. Cons There are sometimes some glitches when updates come out which can be annoying but Shopify is always quick to try to resolve the problems, so I can't complain.

Pros Intuitive interface, Reliable Hosting and Security. Responsive design ensures your store looks great and functions well on both desktop and mobile devices, crucial for today's e-commerce landscape. Cons While Shopify's pricing starts reasonably, additional expenses like transaction fees and app subscriptions can accumulate, impacting the overall cost of ownership with limited customization options.

Shopify esshaimi Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Shopify review - esshaimi" October 3, 2020 4.0 Through my experience of Shopify, I found some difficulties and problems, and in return, it enabled me to create a professional and integrated website of my own. Pros Shopify is a global platform for entrepreneurs and merchants, and it is the most appropriate place to start your business on it, as this platform helps you to create your own professional and integrated website as it provides you with many themes that suit your business in addition to its availability of several free and paid add-ons that are also compatible with Your site and contribute to making your website integrated and suitable to facilitate the process of dealing with it by visitors to your site in addition to that you can link your store with several banks, including PayPal Bank, in order to receive money on it if your site is a commercial website, and of course you will not You find problems navigating the site because it responds quickly and efficiently Cons Among the problems that I face in the Shopify site is the difficulty of accessing the available options because they are not prominent and clear and also in terms of the cost of the service, they are expensive from the start and in the stage of preparing your website, you will find some problems and difficulties in modifying and moving between all those available settings Review Source SS Sandeep S. IT Consultant Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best product for Startup Sites" April 29, 2022 5.0 Easy to use. Minimum to no downtime. Pros 1) It is one of the best products for a startup site. If you do not want to spend a lot of money to get a new site up and running this is your best choice. 2) Loads of out of the box functionality. 3) If your site traffic - this can be scaled easily. Cons Nothing as such. Fit for purpose for starting level websites. Maybe for enterprise level solution - there are other comparable products which might fare better.

I initially chose Magento, which is a strong open-source platform, but it may not be the best option for those without technical expertise. Pros If you possess basic logical thinking and reasoning skills, you can create a functional store on Shopify independently and start selling within a short period of time. Cons The checkout page is very static and does not allow many changes. COD is pretty big in India and I think it should be accommodated. Review Source JF Jason F. Entrepreneur Furniture Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Shopify Pros and Cons" January 10, 2022 5.0 My overall experience with Shopify has been a great one. It does almost all the work for me in terms of monitoring my store. Pros Shopify has proven to be the best eCommerce platform for online based businesses. Their customer service is very reliable. You can get help from their team via live chat, email or call. The spread of your website is very fast. When creating your website, they are a variety of ready templates available that are suitable for many business types. Shopify provides a wide variety information on how your store is performing, in relation to sales, marketing, website visits etc. Shopify gives one the accessibility to connect other apps that can make one online store more user friendly. On Shopify, your store also has the ability to accept payments from a wide variety of countries with diverse currencies. Cons Most of the extension apps that Shopify offers are apps that requires payments in order to have access to all their features. More currencies could also be added so that all countries can shop from stores all all around the world. Review Source TE Tchandao E.

Pros Shopify is ridiculously simple and easy to set up a basic e-commerce shop in minutes. You can go from signing up to selling something on your website in the span of one hour easily. Shopify's customer service is out of this world and helpful even on the most complex questions. On the back-end tracking your sales, invoices, and shipping could not be easier and it's all right there at your fingertips OR literally at your fingertips on your mobile device. I found it incredibly easy to set up our shop, list inventory, add photos, and change our website template and I am a professional Web Developer who would normally recommend something more custom to people, but if you need a quick shop... Shopify is your, pun intended, one stop shop. Cons Shopify can sometimes be tricky to do more complex things with your inventory and some neat features are wrapped into extensions for your shop, which sounds great until you find the one you want and realize that not only does it cost you to buy it but it is going to (normally) cost you extra every single month you use it which is really kind of a bummer for a lot of features that would be really nice additions to the core of Shopify, unfortunately I don't remember any specific examples of that because I haven't used Shopify in a little over a year now after our shop closed, but that's what I recall being the only thing I wasn't fond of.

Pros Shopify is great for building your branded online shop - it is easy to personalize and update. Customers can easily checkout using a variety of methods and it is easy to keep track of orders. Cons I wish there was a way to filter some variants of the same product out of discount codes. Review Source SA Sliman A. Freelancer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Shopify Review" August 31, 2021 5.0 Adored it from the primary demo. Were not anticipating moving the site, yet when we saw Shopify Plus in real life we needed to have it. Didn't really accept that how simple the execution would be, and it was. Pros As I made an outsourcing business shopify was the primary spot I went and I can't say how incredible the stage is. exceptionally simple and easy to understand. Cons Shopify appears to have been worked for tiny size stores. While this is extraordinary for a few, it is awful for other people. They likewise don't have any underlying method to set up transportation dependent on item measurements so in the event that you have numerous items with various measurements this is presumably not the best site stage for you. Appears to be that we need to utilize many "work arounds" just to make things like transportation work. It very well may be a tremendous aggravation on the off chance that you have a major store.

I run 4 stores out of there and would happily recommend. Pros There are many reasons why Shopify is #1 right now. They are easy to get started with, the themes are easy to use and range in functionality and robust enough for 7-8 figure sales. Their customer support is also very good. Cons Where they lag is on the promotions end of the business. There is a lot of basic promotional options that are just not available without installing a 3rd party app. You should be able to do more straight out of the box.
