Yes - It provides a lot of the basics that you need. I can respond to customers or update orders or discounts or site messaging right from the golf course on my phone. Some of the more comprehensive things, like changing up product page content or changing the theme variables and design isn't really all that easy to do on a phone, but I wouldn't ever attempt to do that anyways. The mobile app is perfect for the simple things that we are likely to do on the phone.
Yes - The Shopify mobile interface works great. Most themes are responsive so the front-end of your store formats itself for display on all devices, and the app makes it easy to manage your store with a phone or tablet.
Shopify is a commerce platform that allows anyone to easily sell online, at a retail location, and everywhere in between. Shopify offers a professional online storefront, a payment solution to accept credit cards, and the Shopify POS application to power retail sales. Shopify is used by over 90,000 retailers in 100 different countries.
As a SaaS, Shopify's stability and always-on availability are touted. The eCommerce site presents the customary inventory and presentation controls typical of eCommerce solutions. Items are organized into collections, or using smart collections customize groupings to fit the merchandise (e.g. less than $20 items, gift ideas, bundles, etc.). Content management features (e.g. a blog) are present for tailoring the look and interactivity of the site.
For selling online, the $14 Starter pack includes a basic eCommerce site with 1GB of storage, chat & email support, and support for 25 listings. The $29 Basic pack includes POS and unlimited products, as well as fraud analysis tools. The $79 Professional Pack bumps storage space from 1GB to 5GB and adds gift cards, professional reports, and abandoned cart recovery. Finally, Unlimited, at $179 per month, makes space unlimited, and provides advanced reporting and real-time carrier shipping.
