September 6, 2018 5.0 Pros Shopify makes it very easy to set up a sales website quickly and efficiently. Their tracking analytics and built-in payment gateways make it super simple to begin making sales online. Cons The free trial is a bit short if you are wanting to make and test a store before committing, however they do provide you with a great value for their price point. Review Source DF Destini F.

Business manager Internet Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "E\_commerce made easy by Shopify!" May 11, 2022 4.0 Shopify has made my e-commerce real. At first I tried it's free trial that enabled me connect to customers globally without spending on shipment fee but the whole idea looks like dropshipping that generates higher revenue compared to costs Incured! Pros The 14 free trial days to use Shopify as an online store. Advertising your products and making sales that generate a lot of revenue with less or no cost at all! Cons The advanced plan cost of $299 that some online hustlers may not afford to enhance their e-commerce carrier! Review Source EE Eromonsele E. Network Engineer Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Shopify - Great Sales Booster " April 10, 2022 5.0 Pros Shipify is an awesome e-commerce app that has a great SEO feature, second to none, providing a host of different payment options securely managing transactions end to end. Cons The plans with the nicest features are quite expensive.

Pros The thing that I like most about Shopify is that It's easy to use platform for developers to create online stores easily and it has robust and easy-to-understand API, and its scalability is the cherry on the cake. Cons It is slightly costly and it has limited customization options other than that everything is good. Review Source JM Jamaima M.

Just know I am so grateful I have this Shopify software. I highly recommend it to any business owner. Cons Personally, I haven't had any problem with this software. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Professional Music Instructor Arts and Crafts Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great product for ECommerce billing!" November 4, 2021 5.0 During business shutdowns due to the COVID pandemic, we have done a good amount of online shopping. Having businesses use Shopify has made the payment and checkout process so much easier and secure. Pros I really enjoy having the option of a way to quickly pay for my purchases. Shopify is easy to use and pops right up onto my screen without having to prompt it. Getting a Shopify "code" to enter in helps me to know that my purchases and information are secure. Cons One thing that concerns me is that if someone is using my computer and goes to a specific site that has Shopify enabled, my Shopify box pops up. I wish that there was a toggle to let others check out as a guest without Shopify on some of these sites. I suppose a way to turn this on or off easily by clicking an icon on my computer would be helpful. Review Source JP Julian P. Teacher E-Learning Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Shopify for new users" May 4, 2022 4.0 Pros You can find so many deals on so many products on so many websites. Cons Shopify sometimes lag and lots of times you only get the really good deals on high end products. Review Source GB Gunnar B. Creative Director Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy E-commerce store build for anyone" May 29, 2020 5.0 As long as you don't upset Shopify they are an amazing platform to build a store on. Pros This is one of the easiest builders I have ever used and the ammount of apps that they have to make you site do really anything you want is Amazing they really make it easy for anyone out there to get a decent looking websotre up and start selling. Cons Shopify isn't open source like other E-commerce platforms so if they don't like what you are selling they can shut you down. We were kicked off their platform a couple of years back for selling CBD. They shut us down without warning it really hurt our business Review Source Preston R. Co-Owner & CEO Apparel & Fashion Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Shopify good for what it offers" August 17, 2018 4.0 I've used Shopify for a couple different website builds, 2 of which my own. It works well for ecommerce the best in my opinion when you need a straight forward shop build. Beyond that and other platforms may be a better option. Pros It's easy to setup for people that have minimal website experience, and if you have done it before it's even easier. There are multiple options for themes and pricing levels for what works best for you. It's a good option for ecommerce sites starting out, and even some that are still in growing stages or medium sizes. Cons It becomes a little limited in accessibility without customization when you're expanding beyond just ecommerce. Aside from ecommerce it isn't the best option compared to other website platforms. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Executive Producer Media Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Very Good " June 27, 2019 5.0 Very good. Pros It’s is easy to use. With a lot of different types of mobile apps to help run your store. Retail or online. Cons There could be better designs for the free versions of the templates. Review Source ZH Ziad H. student Political Organization Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "It was difficult to use in the begging " July 4, 2022 5.0 It was a good experience and I have enjoyed this e-commerce website as it helped me to gain money in short time based on my experience of marketing. Pros Every thing was easy to be learned by self but it needs time. Cons Everything need a tutorial video for the beginners to learn easily without being lost. Review Source Elliott L. Developer Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Super easy ecommerce solution with templating for advanced users" July 18, 2019 5.0 Sometimes clients want a minimum viable eCommerce solution - something which Shopify is very good at doing. Pros The templates system that lets more advanced users customize the look and feel of the site. If you are a developer who needs to set up an online shop on a budget this is by far the best solution. If you aren't a developer there is a large theme store. Cons Theme store is a bit expensive and if you do buy a theme you risk having your shop look exactly the same as another random shop online. Obviously this is to be expected if you are buying off-the-shelf themes but it is something to bear in mind if you or your client is sensitive about branding. Alternatives considered [Adobe Commerce](https://www.capterra.com/p/227129/Magento-Commerce/)[PrestaShop](https://www.capterra.com/p/134005/PrestaShop/) Reason for choosing Shopify Most fully featured php/self hosted solutions are way too monolithic for small clients/shops. Switched from [WooCommerce](https://www.capterra.com/p/225601/WooCommerce/) Woocommerce user interface isn't very intuitive at times. Review Source Solomon G. B. Chief Copywriter Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Your only online business partner. " October 31, 2018 5.0 One word - Amazing. Pros I like how it has all the features you need to run an e-commerce. Specially, their large base of app integrations makes the sky the limit. Cons It gets a bit complex to customize and hack the web files of your store. This makes it very scary for new people. Closing it off or making it more layman-friendly would be appreciated.

March 13, 2018 4.0 Pros According to some store owners experienced in its use, Shopify is a very quick and secure eCommerce option that has all of the essential features and is easy to use. Cons Shopify's pricing is a bit steep, especially if you already know how to create bits of onlilne shops yourself and don't have a large business that requires the immediacy of Shopify. Additionally, it will be difficult to move away from Shopify in the future as your store and all of its data is deleted upon closing the account. Review Source Rqvi R. Assistant Software Devloper Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Business need satisfied Security guaranteed" March 30, 2017 5.0 While working at websociety, I got to know that clients need much more than just a website, they are not geek but they want the feel of the website as they feel. The customer requirements are varying for different customers. When we need something that can hold up on a online store, shopify is way too simple yet too robust to fill every need. Yes clients keep asking whether shopify or magento, I just say them both have their own pros. I highly recommend to go through this to be next e-commerce giant, well kidding, but sure your business will succeed, I have experienced. There are many who are competing in the market for the position shopify owns. The sleek design never fails. Pros Competitive pricing and sleek design for every store need makes shopify perfect choice. It is highly customisable and self hosted. Cons Most features fit in expect knowledge need to work around but we need to learn for perfect output. Also it fails to offer some flexiblity in moving to different e-commerce solutions.

Owner Operator Executive Office Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent for online retailers" March 3, 2020 5.0 I love the ease of use of Shopify. I use it all throughout the day to assist customers. I can track orders, refund, credit, get receipts, etc. Pros I love how simple Shopify makes it to view and edit customer orders. I can pop in by order number, email, name, phone number and easily cancel/renew/refund/etc. any order. I can also leave private or shared comments on the order history for my colleagues so we're all on the same page to assist the customer. Cons Occasionally I have to wait for access to the software online. It seems if my internet connection lags I have to wait several minutes to get connected. Review Source Daniel K. Director of Marketing Media Production Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "I ALWAYS Recommend Shopify" December 10, 2018 5.0 Besides the costly themes, this is the only site that you should use to sell anything. I've tried a bunch of the other sites, and this one is way worth the few extra dollars a month. If you can afford the upfront cost, it will be worth it in the end. Pros \- It is SO so easy to use. Everything you need is right there in your face in their very user-friendly UX. Definitely, don't need to have any kind of coding experience to use Shopify - Easy integrations with dropshippers - Compared to other online selling platforms, the price is cheap considering its functionality for the cost - Easy access to customizable themes Cons \- Costly themes if you want to make your site a little fancier.. but, it can pay for itself quickly. Just a high upfront cost. Review Source MT Mackenzie T. Owner Arts and Crafts Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Game Changer" November 8, 2019 5.0 There are many great shop options. But none compare to this one. It is easy to create a site and run it smoothly with no experience necessary. Pros There are many things that make this software a top-notch service but the ease of use would be the best feature by far. Cons At times the integration options can gave issues and slow you down but over all there haven't been many issues. Alternatives considered [WordPress](https://www.capterra.com/p/131687/WordPress/) Reason for choosing Shopify The ease of use and support.

Web developer Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Good platform to create your ecommerce website" November 9, 2022 5.0 I’ve worked with many platforms, from Woo commerce, eBay, Amazon and Etsy. And without a doubt Shopify in today’s world is good platform to grow your business. Pros Easy to navigate and does not require any technical. Another think that I love about Shopify is the integrations with social medias and how easy you can add third parties apps to your website. Cons Some apps are difficult to understand if you don't have knowledge in the world of web development. Review Source Esther M. Product Designer Design Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best go to solution for any eCommerce out there" June 15, 2022 4.0 Pros What makes Shopify standout the most from their competitors is how intentional their features are when it comes to supporting your eCommerce business. All the features and functionalities that you might probably need are out there. They have an abundant amount of third party apps to support your needs as well. Cons There's a bit of learning curve when it comes to creating and launching your store. It is not so much as easy as Wix or Squarespace. You might need to consider hiring a web designer, buy a template, or dedicate some time to get used to where's everything. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Chief Business Development Officer Management Consulting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The best webshop solution" April 18, 2019 5.0 Pros The integration with facebook and instagram which gives the ability to sell products from your website on facebook and intagram without having to upload the images and descrption on social media is great. Also great for drop shipping etc Cons The price. It is great but not for a small start up. it is expensive and if the sales are not coming it, it becomes a burden and they are quick to shut down your site. My advice is that with a different plateform and move to shopify when things pick up Review Source Similar Products Featured ## Related categories [Small Business eCommerce](https://www.capterra.com/small-business-ecommerce-software/)[eCommerce](https://www.capterra.com/ecommerce-software/)[Shopping Cart](https://www.capterra.com/shopping-cart-software/)
