Everything packaged into one price, with varying levels of support available from Shopify. Instead of having hosting somewhere, POS somewhere else and website on a different platform - this allows us complete peace of mind. > > **Cons**: Would be nice if there was a service level between my plan and the shopify plus plan. We definitely have identified features within the Shopify Plus plan that we would like to use but the total price tag doesnt make sense for us. > > We have used magento ,volusion and cube cart. After switching to shopify I can say confidently that it is the best platform to build a site on. Building a website and combining all the apps and functionality can be very daunting. On shopify - everything is right in front of you, and presented in a way that is very much like the apple app store. You can really do everything yourself with little training or help. ----- ### "Clothing boutique relays on Shopify to grow" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *March 13, 2026* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Shopify's interface is the easiest platform I have work with. A new web designer or any person who has no experience designing websites can easily create websites in minutes. This is what I like the most about Shopify. > > **Cons**: If the price of the basic plan would be lower, that would be a huge plus. I think there would be more clients switching Shopify. > > Shopify has always exceeded my expectations. Easy, fast, intuitive, lots of free apps to support the growth of your online shop. My experience has always been pleasant. ----- ### "Objects may appear larger in Shopify" — 3.0/5 > **Keith** | *February 9, 2026* | Wholesale | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: A Canadian company with a good track record for small business marketing. We just didn’t see the success. > > **Cons**: Billing in US dollars. Secondly very few options for a startup that make sense financially. We didn’t see success on our top products with Shopify but did / do with another platform. > > Time consuming product setup process. There was no option to quickly change from a previous sales platform to Shopify. We tried with our top 10 items but got zero sales in Shopify. ----- ### "The perfect e-commerce platform for your online business" — 5.0/5 > **Feraud** | *July 17, 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Shopify is great and easy to mange for our clients. They are super easy to use app and the e-commerce features are expansive. > > **Cons**: The cost tend to be higher than if using something else like woocommerce for example. Also the customization (unless your using paid monthly apps) tend to be lower than wordpress and their plugins. > > We use it for clients that are fully e-commerce and sell only online. The built in CRM for customers and even email marketing is great. We can setup shopify sites for a client and it's easy enough for them to manage on their own after. ----- ### "To Shopify or Not to Shopify." — 4.0/5 > **Sean** | *May 28, 2025* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: I knew nothing about Shopify before deciding to open my own e-commerce site. just remembered the name from all the commercials. I like the fact that my store was fairly easy to set up, and it is a decent price. > > **Cons**: The number of add-on apps you require to do business. There just happens to be an app for everything that you have to pay for separately. It would be a much better program if it were all-inclusive. > > Now that I am up and running it is not as stressful, but drove me a little crazy at times during set-up. Now I am just in the tweaking stages. ----- Page: 1 / 268\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/83891/shopify?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/83891/shopify) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
