How to read the Emotional Footprint
The Net Emotional Footprint measures high-level user sentiment towards particular product offerings. It aggregates emotional response ratings for various dimensions of the vendor-client relationship and product effectiveness, creating a powerful indicator of overall user feeling toward the vendor and product.
While purchasing decisions shouldn't be based on emotion, it's valuable to know what kind of emotional response the vendor you're considering elicits from their users.

It has a larger pool of features. You are able to integrate into Facebook and Instagram shops to sell on that platform. The themes are also well structured as easy to customise
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Its mobile friendly applications that can manage your store and sales on the go
What do you dislike most about this product?
The support relies heavily on shopify advice articles from community. Also the help bot isnt always correct and human interaction often cuts off leading you to talk to the bot again.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
I recommend using shopify if you have a business that will sell a diverse product range. I also would encourage you to use the free application add on to sync products and backup as well. Overall its a good product and if you apply the correct marketing, the store will do the rest.

Shopify - the best way to start an online store
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Shopify from other similar products?
1. It's not like a website where you have to add add-ons and additional products like payment gateways - this is already set and ready to work with 2. It has plenty of templates so your store doesn't have a "cookie-cutter" feel 3. Because there is access to the "back-end" there is the ability to add customization independently 4. EXCELLENT forums with 5. EXCELLENT customer service techs
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
I am not a programmer, but was given the task of creating a storefront. the one requirement would be that it could integrate with our inventory system and JSON. No other e-commerce platforms would have been that easy to integrate for a non-programmer.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Lately, customer support has been more challenging to reach. In the past, it was as easy as opening a chat ticket, and someone was available online all the time for support, advice, etc, and would follow up.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
If you want to be able to sell online in about 3 hours or less...there is NO OTHER platform that I would recommend.
Pros
- Helps Innovate
- Continually Improving Product
- Reliable
- Performance Enhancing
