Shopify Reviews: 4.4/5 — Solid Choice

Fast easy useful handy not fansy and complicated

The instructions none useful options categories

Sava my time

Shopify is convenient and easy and user friendly, fast server, easy customization. Have high volume retailers

The search function could be made a little better, the servers are fast however there are times when the search function takes time and isn't as fast as it could be

Business e- commerce solutions, finding products to buy and sell. Playing with the ecommerce platform made me realize how fast the servers are and how efficient it is. Also easy customization as well as high volume retailers was another benefit that i realized. Shopify is pretty convenient and user friendly which makes it easy to use.

That you can sell and get set up wit little effort

No others to compare to compare to so nothing to dislike

Easy simplified platform to sell on

Easy to use platform, easy to understand and lots of add ons

Monthly price ends up way too high for what it is in some cases

Custom product builder

I like how customizable Shopify is, We are able to describe products and sales

Hard to access. I am not able to go in and make a lot of changes myself

Google Shopping campaigns - now have a lot more control of the feed

It syncs well with Quickbooks which is amazing and also has a decent interface for navigating and finding information.

It's not super intuitive and I didn't find it easy to sort things the way I want to or build a system that I felt was useful.

It syncs accounts and reduces time needed to update a million things individually which is great.

Easy to design web page. Easy to set up menus.

Can't move multiple product at one time when organizing collections.

Selling product and connecting to customer.

I like the fact that Shopify Develops computer software for online stores or purchasing websites.

I don't think that it is as user friendly as it could be. Although it is not extremely difficult to use I feel that it can be a little more user friendly.

I actually use this away from my main job/career. It allows me to sell things that I hand make.

Shopify made it easy to set up a website

It was difficult to work on SEO on Spotify

Shopify gave me the ability to quickly and easily set up an ecommerce website that connected to many helpful apps.

Setup for an online shop can be done fast and without much knowledge on the subject. Was able to complete adding all items for my shop in a couple hours.

It does get repetitive and mind numbing to input over and over but that would be hard to avoid with any software.

We sell to education and needed to get an online shop up in a day for a government bid requirement. It is a benefit to show during the bid process.

It is easy to use and was simple to migrate.

Too many options, and the app store is confusing.

My ecommerce needs

Shopify was incredibly simple to use and setup for someone who was just getting started with the business website. The options were limited, but easy to understand.

As my business grew, I realized that I needed more options ti customize the consumers experience and make each transaction tailored just to their needs. Shopify provided some, but not many, other options to achieve thus. Others would have not made financial sense.

Shopify helped get the site entwined in all sorts of other sites without any effort and made setting up a shop area super simple and fast. My team immediately generated sales.

I love how easy it is to add ore remove products on the dashboard. The analytics and reporting make it easy to understand how my business is doing at any given time.

I don't like how many additional fees there are to the monthly price.

The data has allowed me to understand what changes I need to make to my business website to better attract customers to the items I want to sell.

The best part of Shopify is not having to worry about the backend messiness that comes with sales. Instead of dealing with making sure taxes, prices, product weight for shipping, etc. is all included when designing your own website, Shopify makes it easy by keeping it all in one place for you. It's also simple to create and manage collections (for example: shirts, pants, etc.). There's also plenty of free templates to work with.

While there are plenty of free template demos that look beautiful, you do really need to put in some work to make the template work for you. Images don't get cropped or resized automatically, which can be good in some aspects but can then make the neat template look rather messy and disorganized. It seems there's no current setting to fix this, other than to ensure that the image files you upload are all the same aspect ratios. It can also be a bit difficult when creating collections that may overlap - for example, if you have one product that might fit into multiple different collections.

I work with a brick and mortar store that is starting to sell products online as well. By using Shopify, it's been easy to set up, maintain the website, and continue to add products as needed. It would have required a lot more time if we started a site from scratch.

I like the dashboards, I keep an eye on them throughout the say. I love the 'top referrers' report, it's interesting to be able to keep track of what blogs and websites have sent people our way. I've found a lot of great things this way. I also think it's invaluable to know which products are doing best, as this informs the products I design later.

It's a little hard to navigate. Customizing things is also very difficult.

Top Products reports are used here everyday. Also Top Referrers helps with collaborations.

I feel that Shopify fits all the needs I have for a similar application, but ABSOLUTELY does it better. Easy to use, especially on the go. GUI doesn't take long to figure out either.

It's crashed a couple times on me for no reason, but a quick restart also gets it running back at 100%.

It's one of the programs that I didn't realize I was missing. It's made finding solutions so much easier than they were before.

Integration with NationBuilder, inventory management, shipping options.

Confusing and clunky backend interface, difficult to edit themes/style, only display single image of store item

E-commerce plugin for Nationbuilder store. Users don't have to leave website to shop.

It is super easy to set up. And great for online ecommerce startups. I really like the ease of use and the fact that you can call anyone on the support team to help whenever you need it.

There are some glitches in the software that I have come across. Like double charging users. But have been able to refund easily and figure out the issue.

Shopify has made setting up and online business super easy and fun!

Plugs nicely into tax software for my tax team.

For the cost, surprised there aren't as many bells and whistles.

Solution for selling in different countries, taxes, and fulfillment for orders.

Shopify allows super fast setup of an Ecommerce store no matter who you are. Normally Ecommerce websites take a long time to configure, however shopify allows you to set up a fast, safe and modern online store in less than half the time. Furthermore, it also provides detailed analytics on your sales and allows the use HTTPS securiy.

Shopify can't be customised to the extent that WooCommerce can, but they are not targeting the same market. Shopify if for people who want to focus on the sales and management of their online business quickly and efficiently.

Allows us to configure smaller budget eCommerce websites quicker

Honestly one of my favorite things is it is cloud based so I can access it from anywhere. But Shopify is a great and modern choice for a small business with plenty of room to grow. Those who are not so tech-savvy have nothing to worry about when it comes to shopify's interface system. It is really easy and anybody is able to use it. Some things it does have is order management, basic website updating and product editing which are all simple to do. Shopify does have themes that you can pick from and there are both free and premium ones so it depends on what you want and like. The themes are easy to set up and easy to change if need be. Just about anything on this site just about can be customized.

It is kind of sad the customization I mentioned earlier is limited when it comes to the checkout area.I mean it looks good but for those who might need advanced need might not like it.. It does have a good conversion rate at least. But it would be nice to have a way of generating discount codes. And for those that might need things in multiple languages I see it seems to be a little difficult to do that.

It is helping me get my store out to more people by being online. It is a trusted site so that is always good. And the benefits of selling online are limitless.

It gives me multiple templates and a quick resolution to launch a ecommerce portal for my shop.

I am not sure if it can handle multiple verticals at a point.

we were looking at a solution to increase sales of home made products through eCOmmerce and Shopify was a handy solution.

Streamlines store set up to easily get your products online and available for purchase. Has app integrations for SEO, Google Shopping, Reporting, Emails and more. Fairly simple platform with an wealth of free tutorials and individualized support.

Transaction fees are added to the normal fees if you use something other than the Shopify Payments. Lots of code on top of code with the templates so advanced developers will be frustrated with the setup. It's easy to get inventory in, but not so much to leave.

Listing items online for purchase - it can be a complicated process with aligning inventory, calculating shipping, website security and mobile shopping.

It's easy to use. Our organization likes that. But it's also pricey

It's pricey. I'd like to see teired pricing.

We;re selling a lawn game and want to make it easy for buyers.

Shopify was easy to use and made our project more successful!

There were some hiccups in user experience that made it difficult to setup originally.

We were setting up a store for our users and we realized having a Shopify account was the easiest solution.

It's a great tool to use for marketing our product as well as a great way to allow the buyer/customer to view and buy items online.

The whole set up process was a bit time consuming and confusing.

It has created a better point of sales and an accurate inventory count.

I really like being able to like shopify to our social media sites allowing us to have many other ways to sell our products.

I really do not have any dislikes as of now. It was easy set up and easy to use.

Multiple sales platforms

Very simple to customize, more selling options than other e-commerce platforms such as etsy.

Not enough pricing platforms - goes from $79 to $299 with no in-between. Credit card transaction fees are high if your products are priced low, since it's not a flat percentage.

I like the flexibility of being able to set my shop up my own way. Shopify is a good platform for products that don't fit into a specific niche that would work with another site (like etsy) and is far more respectable than ebay or similar.

It gives you good analytics, and is much more user friendly than other competitor platforms.

Sometimes it can get too simplistic. More data generation and reports would be great.

We are trying to get more sales and we realized Shopify works as a good eCommerce tool

I liked that Shopify centralized several different organizational and administrative aspects of a small business. It was an easy way of maintaining several functionality tools on one platform. Shopify also features a blog with helpful and insightful tips and perspectives.

There are a lot of emails to "unsubscribe" from. It'd be different if they were customized, and if I only received one/week or every other week, but it seems that every person who submits an email gets the same, repetitive emails, and much too frequently.

Streamlining and re-directing the business plan. Streamlining has been a major goal for the next 6-months, which Shopify has certainly helped with. Shopify also offers users many guides, which have been instrumental as we re-write and polish our business plan.
