Overall Satisfaction with Shopify
One of our clients, a city farm in East London, uses Shopify to sell hand-made gifts, seasonal plants and farm produce. This is the online version of their bricks-and-mortar shop at the Farm, which only opens on weekends. As a charity, the Farm has to watch its budgets carefully. It wasn't economically workable to have the physical shop open during the week with the footfall.
- Easy to set up
- Manage orders easily
- Marketing tools
- More customisation on the homepage (I'd like to see an option for all/filtered products, not just popular this week)
- Had a sidebar filter for price, attributes etc
- Saved us £80/day on staffing
- Reaching more people with the products
Magento is more serious; you'll need support from your digital agency and a retainer for promotions and updates.
WooCommerce is good but becomes expensive with all the extras that shopify has out of the box. And this relies on WordPress which you'll need to maintain and keep all the plugins updated. And regularly scan for malware etc.
