Overall Satisfaction with Shopify
I manage the Shopify for my brand producing enamel pins and accessories. I love Shopify because I can integrate my web shop with my social media like Instagram, Facebook, etc. 97% of all my sales come from Instagram and being able to have an easy way for my customers to click on products and easily access my very user-friendly website is probably the number one reason for my sales.
- They are partnered with tons of companies to offer app integration and channels for sales
- I love the Instagram integration that allows my buyers to buy directly via Instagram
- It's easy to update my orders and fulfill them via the app or the website.
- I'd love if they could lower the fees, but they're still better than Paypal.
- I wish there were more free layout options.
- I'd love a way to prevent certain items from being excluded from discount codes.
- I pay for the basic sellers option and I feel it is overall worth it. I only need to sell 3 full-price products to make back my monthly cost.
- I feel that the ability to have multiple channels redirect to my shop is a major reason for the shop's success.
I use Squarespace for my personal services website. I do not feel like the shop options for Squarespace are very valuable when compared to Shopify. Shopify is created ultimately for vendors to sell their product. It doesn't worry too much about being beautiful and puts most of the focus on purchases and sales which is the main goal of using it.
