    NVU is an easy self explanatory program that helps us edit the Landing Pages for the company for which I work. However, many of the features of being able to edit text & text boxes is out of date & very jumpy. I often have to rewrite sentences in order to fit better on a line because I can't adjust the text box without it messing up the entire Landing Page.

    Shopify Plus makes order management simple and less error prone. Connecting our ERP allows us to seamlessly manage our product listings, fulfill orders, and sync customer data. Limitations to the number of product variants requires attention from our staff to make sure our products sync without issue. Other than being arbitrary, there's really no need to limit the number of product variants.

    Pros
    Open Source
    • It allows me to easily create the Landing Pages for my company. I can easily create a copy of an NVU file & then rename it in order to create a new file. Then once I've made the necessary changes to the new file, I just drag & drop the new file into our backend to automatically upload to our site.
    • It allows me to edit text fairly easily. I can drag & drop the text within a text box.

    Cons
    Open Source
    • I can't widen a text box without it jumping & messing up the entire Landing Page.
    • I can't drag text from one text box into another.
    • The text settings change if I don't copy a word that already exists in a word box & paste it into the new line of text before starting to type a new sentence.
    • Sometimes I try to open a Landing Page to edit it & it says that NVU is unavailable & I have to close the program & try again.

    • When linking to our communication service some customers have several emails with orders and only one email generates orders. It would be nice if we could combine all of this information into one account.
    • If a customer has multiple accounts you are also unable to edit the email address as it is already used, another reason merging accounts would be helpful.
    • Some of the processes in Shopify are too easy to complete. I’m certain scenarios a peony of “are you sure you would like to complete(this action)” would be extremely helpful and avoid mistakes that are not reversible.

    It is extremely easy for merchants to get to know how Shopify Plus works. Comparitive to other platforms such as Magento and WooCommerce it is extremely lean and easy to operate, meaning clients who migrate over to it find it very intuitive to use. There is also a lot of guides and up to date information online

    Shopify had the quickest go-to-market and most robust API among the products we compared. CommerceCloud required a VERY LONG integration phase that we just didn't have time for. BigCommerce fell short on the number of features and API coverage that we needed. Overall Shopify gave us the most bang for the buck.

    Return on Investment
    Open Source
    • I think my boss has actually decided to stop using NVU to create & edit our webpages because of it's lack of updates & features for editing text.
    • It takes me a lot of time trying to adjust text boxes to get them to fit on the Landing Page correctly with the entire desired content.

    • The pricing of Shopify Plus over the regular Shopify Account solution is about 10x if not 20x the cost. But with this cost comes the increased reliability and trust you have in your eCommerce Software solution/website. We still have a great ROI with the Shopify Plus Pricing.
    • With Shopify Plus, we have been able to drill deeper into a more robust eCommerce experience for our customers
    • With Shopify Plus, we have been able to customize our Website further with recommended apps, features, and customizations based on our Dedicated Account Reps expertise.
