Great Ecommerce Platform

Likeliness to Recommend

10 /10

What differentiates Shopify from other similar products?

Shopify offers a free affiliate marketing software called "Dove tale" to their customers to use which is a huge benefit considering other platforms costs hundreds of dollars a month of use.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

My favorite aspect about this product is that it is quiet beginner friendly, also we can easily start our ecommerce business without knowing how to code. It can be easily integrated into other software systems such as Klaviyo to directly allow our customers to shop our website through email links sent weekly.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The only thing which I dislike about Shopify is that we can't customize the "card" page unless we have a Shopify Plus subscription which is quite expensive. Also we need to use Stripe payment solution if we want to use Apple pay.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I would recommend only 1 thing that anyone should make full use of their 14 days trial period, as during this time period every beginner needs to get familiar with the processes and management after the development of the Shopify store.

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Continually Improving Product
  • Reliable
  • Performance Enhancing

Fully Loaded with best Features for Online Store

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates Shopify from other similar products?

The Biggest benefit I am receiving from Shopify is Product Management and Customization. It works great in terms of adding a variable product. It has some pre-defined variables like colour, size etc instead of Woocommerce. Adding variations in WooCommerce is a little bit difficult.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

After using Shopify, Now I can say Shopify is the best platform for an Online eCommerce Store. It's so simple to implement and use the admin dashboard. Even a non-technical person can also use Shopify. Product Management and Catalogue import/export are very easy.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Shopify is good but nothing is perfect in this world so it has some weak points too. 1) Pricing plan is a little too higher for a single user. 2) Front-end Customization is a bit off from another platform. 3) Cart page is restricted.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

100%, I would recommend it to others. It has so many features that other platforms don't offer with its kind of User Experience.

Pros

  • Continually Improving Product
  • Reliable
  • Performance Enhancing
  • Enables Productivity
