What differentiates Shopify from other similar products?

Page setup creates a high degree of freedom when creating an EC site. In addition to the look and feel of the design, you can customize it with a wide variety of applications, so even amateurs can complete an EC site that looks like it was created from scratch by a professional. You can also update your blog. With a wide range of payment methods, we can provide customers with a seamless shopping experience. Above all, the costs and maintenance fees are cheaper than other cart API systems.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Third-party applications can be added later to extend the functionality required. From website functionality to marketing functionality, there is a wide range of applications. Many features and payment methods can be used without monthly fees. There are many design templates, from free to paid, and it is highly expandable. If possible, it is recommended that you use the trial on your own to familiarize yourself with it and then turn it into a business deal. Using paid add-ons can be time-consuming; marketing features can also be added with the app so you can manage everything from ad ops and affiliate ASP apps to administration within Shopify

What do you dislike most about this product?

Since the payment site is not fixed, it is unstable for the cycle. Many technical terms are used, and it isn't easy without prior knowledge.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

In the past, we did not specialize in providing economical and fast delivery, so there were many complex cases and lost orders. Under such circumstances, we implemented Shopify's services as a platform, which has decreased lost opportunities and increased the number of casual business deals.

  • Helps Innovate
  • Continually Improving Product
