I highly recommend working with Shopify. Their user interface is extremely intuitive and they offer a great variety of third-party apps to meet most of your e-commerce needs. The customer support staff is helpful, friendly, and answers questions promptly. They also provide extensive documentation on all of their product features.
  • Customer service
  • Documentation
  • Third-party apps
  • Intuitive user-interface
  • Implement front-end customization beyond the frontpage
  • More robust native features
Shopify Plus is perfect for small businesses with over 100 SKUs that are looking for heavy customization where access to the product API will be necessary. It is ideal for wholesale businesses. Shopify Plus also offers very specific and extensive shipping features. This product is great for businesses that run an internal warehouse.

We decided to move from AmeriCommerce to Shopify Plus in hopes of receiving more customization options, easy multi-store and wholesale store set up.

After roughly 4 months worth of set up and investment, myself along with our Web Team urged management to allow us to continue using AmeriCommerce. Shopify did not meet our expectations.
  • The site is set up for simple product offerings.
  • Dropship abilities.
  • Theme offerings.
  • Wholesale store set up is a nightmare. It only allows for wholesale pricing at a consistent and specific discount. No customization in pricing which did not work for us.
  • Expensive - the cost involved was insane.

  • Our Launch Rep was just terrible to work with. He couldn't answer any of our questions without having to reach out to other team members.
  • Even slightly complex product offerings will require you pay additional fees to 3rd parties for custom builds.
Shopify Plus will work well for companies with simple product offerings and/or consistent and specifically discounted wholesale needs. We do not recommend this for larger companies or semi-complex pricing/products. I feel the Sales Reps flat out lied about the program's abilities and our Launch Rep was not knowledgable.

We are huge advocates of Shopify and Shopify Plus platforms. If you're just starting out or a huge brand doing over $1B a year in revenue, you can do it all on Shopify. Coming from the Magento world this is a huge upgrade where it cost 1/4 of the cost to run overall and the performance is 10x better!
  • Ease of use
  • No need to have a separate host
  • CDN is included
  • Pricing is high
  • Additional fee for using a 3rd party payment processor
  • No multi store inventory and sku management like Magento
Shopify Plus is a good solution for any ecommerce doing up to $1B / year in revenue. Look up the top companies on the platform and they show that Shopify Plus can handle all clients. I love how they are consistently releasing new features and we don't have to go through manual upgrades.

We set up Shopify Plus for a large wood flower company. Due to the volume of orders, we went with Shopify Plus in order to handle it. It was easy to spin up a new website, and we could add features as the company grew.
  • Expandability was key to the growing business
  • Large community of plugins and templates
  • Handled the payment processing, etc.
  • Customizing templates can be difficult
  • Some features required third-party tools
You can begin with Shopify and upgrade as your business scales. And it was able to handle seasonal and holiday spikes.

Shopify Plus Review: "Shopify is the unquestioned market leader for hosted eCommerce"

We assist merchants who are using Shopify Plus both online and in physical retail stores. All but one of our employees directly interacts with Shopify on a daily basis; about half of those employees are developing or supporting Shopify Plus merchants in some way.
  • Scales incredibly well. Forget about hardware concerns, load balancing, downtime, etc. and focus on eCommerce. We've seen merchants go from a few thousand dollars per month to having million dollar days, all on Shopify without having to worry about performance or scaling systems.
  • Great new features consistently being added, ahead of the curve on almost everything
  • Solid API to build on and work with, a few annoying quirks here and there for super complex use cases but overall very well documented and works well
  • Most Merchant Success Managers are good and genuinely want to be helpful
  • A fantastic user interface, very logical and easy to use
  • Tons and tons and tons of out of the box integrations. Easily the best integration marketplace of the e-commerce platforms. There's an app for that.
  • Some very enterprise features are missing. Vaulted credit cards only work via the Shopify Pay (different than Shopify Payments) and aren't saved to customer accounts. Probably in part because of this, recurring subscriptions are not possible without using third party apps which is super annoying and those third-party apps hijack the native Shopify checkout so that they can take you to their checkout where they can actually save the cards. Shopify does not seem motivated to change this anytime soon either.
  • Some merchants are frustrated that they have to use apps for functionality that they would otherwise consider essential such as wishlists. Shopify would argue that they are best as a platform and would rather empower apps as that results in an even better user experience since there are options for different apps, app developers are more incentivized to go deeper and build better, etc.. In most cases I believe this works well.
I would recommend Shopify Plus to any merchant doing at least 500k/mo and doesn't primarily do subscription products. High volume merchants who run complex subscriptions may be better off on an eCommerce platform that doesn't rely on third-party subscription apps that can't even use Shopify's native checkout. Merchants doing under 500k are probably fine with one of Shopify's normal plans rather than Plus.

Shopify Plus Review: "Flexible solution for flexible businesses."

We use Shopify Plus for our e-commerce website, some order management, some product management, and some analytics. We needed a strong e-commerce platform that was flexible for a growing midsize company, scaleable with our growth, could also support POS, and had a good API. Shopify plus has provided all of the non-negotiable for us at a really good price.
  • From a web perspective, it's really fast and has great out-of-the-box SEO benefits.
  • The user interface is very, very easy to navigate. Very intuitive.
  • Reporting is built in, allowing you to build customize-able reports for at-a-glance KPIs.
  • Amazing support.
  • Some features that are non-negotiates for some businesses are missing, or are only available if you use Shopify Payments. One that comes to mind is saved/vaulted credit cards.
  • Many aspects of Shopify Plus, including pre-built reporting features and widgets in the admin interface are very obviously built for small businesses. The larger you get as a business, the more irrelevant many of Shopify Plus features become.
  • Shopify Plus does not have a robust POS at all. The POS is not enterprise-level.
Well suited for growing mid-sized to large businesses who want to remain flexible and agile and are OK making compromises here and there. Not well suited for large corporations that have very traditional requirements for what e-commerce should look like; Shopify is on the cutting edge of e-commerce and they seem to tailor their product to the tastes and preferences of millennials.

Review: "Shopify Plus for mid-size, global, multi-brand & multi-channel retail store"

Jeffrey Hilliard

We have a relatively interesting use case for Shopify Plus. We use it in conjunction with our backend ERP system, NetSuite. We also use a third party system, FarApp, that links the two systems (products, orders, inventory, pricing, etc). As a result, we use Shopify as somewhat of a "container" that houses the digitally purchasable versions of our in-store products (since we link the in-store inventory and the online inventory). We are constantly working in Shopify and also in the other systems to try and make it as efficient as possible.

Really Shopify excels in its ease of use and its focus on forward looking web technologies (responsive website, linking with analytics software, ability to use on mobile) and it struggles at some of the heavy lifting (content laden website, advanced product options, API is crappy).
  • Ease of use - you can basically start using Shopify out of the box with very little training. It's self explanatory and the resources for help are fantastic.
  • Support - if you are a Shopify plus merchant you have dedicated account representatives that will really go the extra mile to help or create a fix for you. They do a good job making sure that you are taken care of to the best of their ability and frequently work with engineers for quick fixes to common problems.
  • Customization - this is something Shopify is going to sell you on with Plus. You can create your own checkout, you can create custom pages that link in, and you can link in other systems through their app store and also custom coding.
  • Partnerships - Shopify DOES link in with some systems great (Shipstation, Uber, CreateSend/MailChimp) and that is a huge positive.
  • API - unfortunately, given the amount Shopify talks about the ability to customize, they conveniently leave out the fact that their API is notoriously weak and also undocumented. It makes building custom solutions on top of Shopify cumbersome.
  • Advanced Product Options - simple things like adding additional images into products with multiple variants doesn't exist! You have to install Apps to get some of this done. Inventory management is very basic and things like collection organization are light years ahead of other systems but can still use improvements.
  • Mixing product and content - Surprisingly, Shopify isn't as strong here as you'd think. Oftentimes, people use entirely separate programs like Squarespace and Wordpress to run their content section of the website. This is fine except they are missing a critical component of linking the content to the product. I think Shopify should focus on this A LOT going forward.
If you are a new e-commerce business that wants to get up quickly, has very easy to use systems, and has a relatively simple business structure (not global, inventory relatively simple), then Shopify is definitely for you. It's intuitive, has several built-in features that are incredibly nice, and plugs into other large systems. If you are a large business with several shipping centers, complex products, with a huge content goal, Shopify can make it difficult or require some outside technology that often falls short of what they tell you.

We use Shopify Plus as the e-commerce front-end for our flagship websites, including MMAWarehouse.com and BJJWarehouse.com.
  • Very slick and well-designed interface, the easiest cart backend we've ever worked with
  • Enterprise-level features at a very affordable price
  • A very extensive app store with truly turnkey apps
  • Better multi-store management
  • More robust promotion and upselling capability (without apps)
  • Pricebooks for scheduled pricing
  • Scheduled content management
I would recommend Shopify Plus to businesses that want a hands-off store with most of the latest and greatest features and a highly converting mobile experience. It may not be suited for a business with the need for many sites or for a business with thousands of products that doesn't want to also use a complementary inventory management system or PIM.

As a company, we historically generated revenue through a subscription service to our app, as well as paid media advertisements. Last May we decided to introduce a third line of business - eCommerce. We adopted Shopify Plus in August to help us scale our eCommerce business, and bring our product offering to our 50+ million user base.
  • Customer support - Shopify Plus gives us top tier support, which allows us to jump to the top of the support queue anytime we have a question. Support is available via live chat, email or phone. For more technical questions, we can book a call with our account manager who connects us to the appropriate resource at Shopify.
  • Ease of use - It was incredibly easy to stand up an eCommerce business on Shopify Plus. The platform is intuitive to use and allowed us to get up and running quickly.
  • Customizations - It has been very easy to customize our shop to the look and feel of our brand. You can either install a theme from the Theme Store or let designers and engineers run wild to create their own.
  • Reporting - The native reporting in Shopify is not as in depth as one would hope. They often rely on third party apps to fill any gaps they've missed. For example, it would be nice to be able to input the costs of your products included in the Shopify admin so we can run reports with margins included.
  • Business guidance - We haven't received a ton of advice in terms of business suggestions or guidance. It would be great to guide those merchants who are new to eCommerce to help them navigate pitfalls and common problems.
Shopify Plus is well suited for those running a medium-scale business. It is not needed for a new merchant running a small operation. It is also likely not suitable for a larger business generating a few million in revenue per quarter.

Shopify Plus is being used by the majority of our team to power our e-commerce store. Our entire team knows how to log in to our website backend, make proper changes, look up orders, and get customer info.
  • They have a great support staff who responds quickly to any issues we have.
  • The backend is very easy to use for people who do not have a ton of web experience.
  • I love how they can update the entire platform with zero downtime.
  • There is no way to track revenue per coupon code in a nice graph layout like the "Reports" section does for sales.
  • Seamless integration into third party vendors.
  • Free sShipping on a product specific level.
It is great for a brand who wants to easily scale the e-commerce part of their business.

We use Shopify as the main source for our players to buy game pieces. We needed to have a product that we could customize, had near 100% uptime, and allowed people to choose payment options. Shopify covered all of those, and with Plus, it allows us to use things like Multipass and 1-on-1 attention to make Shopify work for us.
  • 1-on-1 attention. Our account representative answers all of our questions very quickly.
  • Multipass. We didn't want people to recreate accounts, just use the Munzee accounts that they currently have.
  • Giving us information as it's announced e.g. "This new feature may help your account in x, y, z ... "
  • Weekly Reviews. If this week was x amount less than last week, work with the client on why.
  • Recommend new products based on best selling products.
  • Wish I knew the roadmap of unannounced features. That way when it's announced, I already have a plan.
It's very well suited for making us feel comfortable about our online store. The 24 hour support is great along with the ease of use. We love it!

We are an e-commerce agency, building websites for some of the biggest businesses out there. All of our e-commerce websites use the Shopify platform.
  • Well-developed platform
  • Easy, secure, and fast customer experience
  • Clean and organized management system for merchants
  • More control over code for developers
It's the platform of choice for any e-commerce website. Compared to others, such as Magento, it really makes the entire experience easy yet powerful for all people involved from developer, to merchant, to consumer.
