Do not like Shopify afthet they rip me off, I wood never use Shopify again, I can not see Shopify lasting very long when it rip people off
We had a Shopify store pay for a them and 1 year, We got scam by people and for no reason Shopify just close the store we pay and did all the work for
Shopify are a rip off and will take your money
I didn't like using Shopify at ALL. I think there are several other easier web based ecommerce websites.
I hated the customer service, every time I had to call and ask a question I got a different answer, and most of the time it required purchasing a Shopify app that was designed to help with whatever problem we were having, which the app then wanted a monthly fee paid to use it.
We used it to be able to have an ecommerce store. However, the shipping problems created with it made it impossible for the customer to even check out while on the site
The user friendly experience makes Shopify very appealing.
I dislike how they have turned into a nickel and dining company. They charge you to additional for not using their gateway provider, which they get a kickback.
Ecommerce solutions.
The simplicity of using the program while creating the shop
the lack of customization allowed. The difficulty to have the exact product we desire.
We edited some template options
Its easy to make the website if you have pictures and text.
Cero SEO! No matter how much you promote your shop it won't show on Google's first search page, even if you look up the shop's name. It was very disappointing.
The reason I went with shopify was to make it easier for people to buy my restaurant's branded t-shirts but it ended up being a headache!
The platform is fairly flexible, with a lot of supported integrations.
While Shopify is touted as the best CMS for e-commerce sites, my own experience with the platform has been that it is not user-friendly or easy to optimize for search engines.
I think Shopify has introduced more problems than it has solved. I would not use it if I had a choice in the matter.
Pros- easy to get started, free 30 day trial, good community support.
The cons are not good for low volume user once you have to pay, not intuitive to set, not that customizable. I ended up hiring someone to write a custom script for me so i can sell t-shirts on my siite. It pulls my products from Amazon and I get a commission and a referral link. Much easier and cheaper.
Selling accessories like t-shirts, autographed books, hardcover books, etc. To be honest, I haven't realized any benefits.
