Overall Satisfaction with Shopify

When a web-design client wants to sell something online I find Shopify to be the most cost-effective, fastest, and easiest way to get their store up and running. Even though most of my small business clientele already have a "website" I find myself recommending Spotify in addition to whatever online presence they may already have.

Shopify, being wholly self-contained, is a robust solution that doesn't require a developer to get up and running. WooCommerce is a plugin for WordPress that is effective if you already have a robust WordPress site and are tech-savvy. WooCommerce will require a developer's sensibilities to fully integrate into your existing theme. It's a popular option versus Shopify, but there's more room for error there.

You can't really go wrong picking Shopify if you want to sell a few items online. It offers so many ways to sell and makes it very easy to do so. Any small business with a few items for sale will love the tools Shopify offers and the low cost/speed to selling online. However, if you have hundreds of SKUs, complicated customizations and shipping requirements, etc. you may need a more robust tool.
