Shopify Reviews & Product Details

Shopify was easy to put together. Before Shopify, I was going live on Facebook to sell my jewelry & depending on writing claims with pen & paper, then invoicing thru PayPal or square. After an easy set up process, I was able is get my large inventory uploaded for my customers to shop anytime. Customer support was just a phone call away & was always helpful. Now I love hearing the cha-ching sound multiple times a day because Shopify also offers marketing emails & my store integrated easily with all social media channel's shops.

It is created in such a way that every merchant can create their own store and start selling products or services in a matter of days. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's important to consider the cost of third-party apps. On the one hand, you have a huge choice in terms of adding functionality to your store as well as in terms of integrating it with other tools and platforms. On the other hand, if Shopify’s native feature set doesn’t fulfill your requirements, then you’ll be charged every month for almost every extra app installed on your store. As a result, the more features you want to add, the more it will cost you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When it comes to designing product appearances on your website, Shopify offers a plethora of functionalities. You can easily customize how your products look, ensuring they are visually appealing and in line with your brand's identity.

What I like most about Shopify is the ease of use, even for those without technical experience.

The main limitation of Shopify is related to the cost of additional apps. Many strategic features require paid apps or constant upgrades, which can increase operational costs. Additionally, for sales in Brazil or Latin America, some local integrations are still not as optimized as in the United States and Europe. However, with some external solutions and customizations, it is possible to overcome these issues and keep the operation running smoothly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have been trusting Shopify as an online point of sale for years and we have hardly had any problems. We really like the order management, the apps that link to Shopify, the domain management, the loading speed, and the optimized SEO. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When I started my online store a couple of years ago, Shopify had an open location in Los Angeles, Ca and New York, NY. When I visited in person I was able to access a lot of information with informed staff who helped me understand what I needed. So available tech support is very important when just starting out and Shopify offers that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

First and foremost, read the Terms and Conditions for this service before signing up! The Terms state that all intellectual property that you put on "your" website can be accessed and kept by Shopify and used or passed on to other companies however they choose, for all time. Your marketing materials; product, sales, and inventory data; and theoretically customer data are all irrevocably licensed to numerous unknowable third-parties for all time.

To add insult to injury, Small Business plans are restricted from accessing order and customer data that was entered on their site, by their customers, and is vital to many integrations and business operations. While this is ostensibly for "security" reasons, I fail to understand how it's a security risk to access your own business data. Of course, you can get around this by upgrading your plan to at least the $399 USD/month Advanced Plan and gain this access (because only small businesses are insecure apparently).

The "Basic" and "Shopify" plans further restrict you to using Shopify Payments, with no ability to utilize existing merchant accounts. Which, of course, would incentivize you to also use their POS platform (at which point your in-person customer and sales data is also permanently transferred to Shopify and inaccessible to you).

While you can utilize your own shipping services, these plans show Shopify Shipping rates to customers at checkout, which are marked up from standard, widely available commercial discounts.

For example, a USPS postage stamp, which costs $0.69 USD via numerous other providers, costs $1.40 to buy from Shopify. Of course, if you upgrade your account they will reduce their markup on shipping fees as a perk and to further deter you from using more convenient and flexible third-party services.
