Overall Satisfaction with Shopify

We use Shopify as our main e-commerce platform. It is used across the whole organization by the sales team, the marketing team, the operations team, and also the management team to check on reports and overall business data. As a small business, Shopify truly offers to us an end-to-end solution for our digital channel. We don't use anything else since all we need to do (in order to attract customers > receive orders > send orders to production > invoice > receive payment > ship the product to the customer > manage post-sales processes) can be done within the platform and its app marketplace.
  • Easy to implement.
  • The app marketplace.
  • The whole end-to-end solution.
  • lack of good payment gateways for Latin America.
  • no recurrent payments option in the core functionality
  • POS doesn't work in Latin America.
  • Time-to-market. The launch of a new sales channel in no time.
  • Cost of developing the site is very low.
  • Cost of maintaining the site is very low.
Shopify is way easier to set up. No coding needed. All the tools to create your eCommerce are there and are easy to use. You can literally set up a working site in minutes. Most of the initial work is more focused on us making sure we had proper images and product descriptions, but once you nail that, the site can come up in no time.

Shopify's app or plugins Marketplace is just way more developed and controlled than the others. The app certification program is strict so the quality of those products is usually high.

Shopify is an absolute time-saver. In my case, we are a small and new shop that wanted to start selling online, and it worked perfectly. But the more I learn about the platform, the more I see it actually works for any type of company. Even for big corporations, Shopify has a tier system that unlocks more of the system's capacity when you need to scale up.
Besides time, Shopify is a very cost-effective tool since they take care of all the technology and security. You just need to learn how to sell your products online.
