Overall Satisfaction with Shopify Plus

We used Shopify Plus as our primary e-commerce platform to sell, market, brand, and present our wares to the world. I was operating an e-commerce store at the time and Shopify Plus was an excellent platform to both learn about e-commerce business modeling as well as digital sales and marketing. It was a one-stop shop for us and that was immensely helpful given limited resources.
  • Easy ramp up and very user-friendly interface.
  • Easy to track payments, refunds, and customer interactions, including shipping.
  • Discounts on shipping rates with preferred vendors.
  • Reasonable monthly pricing.
  • Improved templates and themes.
  • Less expensive premium templates and themes.
  • More font and color/branding elements, without the need to purchase outside the platform or add-on expensive add-on applications.
  • Expand shipping options, perhaps more integrations,
  • Increased quality of drop shipping vendors and on-platform design tools.
  • No negatives
  • Helped positively with product development
  • Helped positively with product management and inventory
While Squarespace has a more sophisticated site theme and template offering, the inventory management, and drop shipping options (while still not perfect, or ideal) makes Shopify Plus the right choice for powering e-commerce businesses.
I don't think there is another platform on the market that compares to Shopify Plus, but I still think there is room for improvement specific to the points I mentioned.
