Overall Satisfaction with Shopify

We use Shopify for our company B2B website. We added an app that allows us to have a "hidden side" you can sign on with wholesale pricing for our retailers only so consumers can see the products but can't buy directly on the site since we are 100% B2B. We also use the buy button store to hold virtual trunk shows for consumers allowing them to buy directly for that evening only.
  • Easy to add new products with multiple images quickly with a very professional outcome.
  • Easy to create a new collection twice a year when we come out with new products.
  • Easy to keep pricing hidden from consumers and from retailers until they are approved for an account.
  • I wish the graphics were a bit easier to work with so I could resize and crop images from within the program.
  • I wish I didn't have to add coding from a professional to make my headers work seamlessly on all platforms.
  • I wish it was a little more of a "drag and drop" platform for moving and duplicating images
  • Allows me to have a beautiful website presence to integrate with our branding
  • Allows me to offer my retailers a way to place orders while keeping consumers from being able to do so.
  • Allows me to create a "one day only" shopping experience for consumers when having a virtual trunk show in conjunction with one of our retailers.
I considered using the Squarespace platform but it wasn't going to be able to keep a hidden shop for my retailers without a significant amount of work. I also considered a WordPress website but I was looking for something I could do a lot of on my own without needing coding experience.

Yes

Would you buy Shopify again?

Yes

Shopify is really great if you are looking for an online website that can sell inventory and fulfill orders. I don't use it to fulfill orders because all of our product is hand-made after the order has been placed. We don't stock products so the fulfillment features don't really apply to us. I use it to print an order and then enter the order into our own proprietary software program to run a production for the pieces that were sold.
