Shopify Reviews & Product Details

I like that Shopify interacts and integrates with a wide variety of platforms like Alibaba, Facebook, and Twitter, allowing me to post to a lot of different sites. I can easily list and manage my inventory, which is great because I don't have to monitor it manually. The pay gate isn't overly heavy or complicated, making transactions smoother. I find it very easy to advertise using Google AdSense. Overall, it's user-friendly for e-commerce, meshes well with other platforms, and the initial setup was very easy, taking only about fifteen minutes to get up and running.

I think the pricing could be just a little bit cheaper. They do have a discount now that is for a dollar for three months. But when you're just starting out, you just don't have the budget to pay for an expensive web. So if they could just lower that for the small businesses for the first several months.

I love Shopify's customization abilities, particularly how I can tinker with the code to create my own style, rather than being limited to preset designs. The interface is very straightforward, which really helps. I appreciate how Shopify makes the inventory process very easy, especially when dealing with trading cards that have so many variations. The collections feature for inventory is really helpful. Additionally, the ability to export inventory via CSV makes accessing and implementing it much simpler. Lastly, the initial setup of Shopify is really simple, especially if you're using the most basic website layouts without any coding experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think that the process could be a bit more streamlined. I had a lot of trouble learning the custom liquid code. It takes a long time and there are some glitchy aspects. For example, one of my items was not being shown and it said sold out, even though the code indicated there were items left. It didn't tell me why, and I had to figure out that it was due to the shipping location. Also, the AI chatbot doesn't really help fully. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really appreciate Shopify's perfect balance between a user-friendly UI/UX for merchants and a powerful, developer-friendly backend. The extensive app ecosystem and seamless integration offer unlimited customizations, which is incredibly valuable as it allows me to connect my store to essential tools like marketing and shipping instantly, ensuring a smooth workflow. I also love the robust API environment, Liquid templating language, and the flexibility to deploy custom features much faster than other platforms. Shopify's performance and design make it easy to scale a business while maintaining a professional storefront. The centralized dashboard for inventory, payments, and shipping simplifies e-commerce management. As a developer, I find it eliminates the headache of maintaining server infrastructure, allowing me to build custom features. Additionally, the initial setup was incredibly straightforward, and I could get the basic storefront and payment gateway running in no time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While the online storefront is highly customizable, I find that the Shopify POS apps have fewer modification features for custom development. Like the ability to add custom tiles or data fields, more button customization options, and a more streamlined way to maintain UI consistency between the custom POS extension and the native Shopify design language.

There are a lot of things I like about Shopify. I like the variety of apps that help me gather reviews, speed up pages, allow advance access to products to certain customers only (sneak peeks of painting collections!) and those that allow my collectors to accrue Rewards Points then spend them with ease.

I like that Shopify organizes financial and customer information, so that I can keep track of things. That I can fulfill orders separately from shipping labels. I like that Shopify separates out shipping fees and allows for drop-shipping and working with Printful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My least favorite thing about Shopify is that it does not show Abandoned Carts in detail - so that I can follow up with potential customers that might have questions or issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Shopify has been a great platform for us to build an online presence for our Gift Shop. Support has been pretty good as far as helping with reporting and the general Admin panel. Site setup has been mostly left up to us. Shopify worked with us to find a good price point that we agreed on and has been up and running now for 1 year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It seems like several features/reports that I would think should be available or configurable are not. For instance there is a Tip feature you can add to the customer facing register, we encourage and allow for donations and I thought I could simply edit the software to change the display from reading "Tips" to "Donations" but that is currently not possible. I will also mention that it seems like the inventory system is rather limited, almost like it expects you to keep all of one type of item in one place, without a store room location. I got around this by creating other "physical Locations" and keeping inventory there. These other locations are free but I had to be creative to accomplish it. There are many Apps to connect and add to your Shopify store but we really want to keep it as simple as possible, we try to stay away from adding additional apps that may or may not stay up to date or supported.

I find Shopify perfect because it offers everything needed for building and managing online shops. It includes everything from creating the website to fulfilling orders. Additionally, I like that Shopify automates everything and is customizable through the various apps. The initial setup was very easy, provided you have some technical experience and all necessary documents ready. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Occasionally, there are problems with Shopify Payments, such as Shopify Payments being deactivated from one day to the next, leaving you initially reliant only on Klarna and PayPal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how user-friendly Shopify is. It's very easy to learn, even with no web experience. I'm not a web developer, but I was able to figure it out on my own. Everything can be tracked easily, and it's accurate. The initial setup was very easy, and even though it took some time, it's overall very user-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When we get orders, sometimes there's no good address verification. There's no way to, for example, block PO boxes. Certain reporting issues, I suppose. You know, attribution with ads. Can't track expiry dates of products with the POs. Updating the average cost of products is something I feel would be simple but still has to be done manually.

I like the ease of use of Shopify - we literally run our entire company on it, with Amazon and Tiktok also feeding back to it. It seems like they're always at the forefront of ecommerce, regularly bringing out new features for people to test. I love that Shopify is going to be the first to bring out an agentic storefront, allowing our products to be available on platforms like chat, GPT, and more. The AI assistant is another feature I really love; it helps me analyze everything very efficiently, making life easier by providing quick answers instead of digging deep into reports. The reporting system is great because the built-in reports contain a lot of what's needed. Shopify is just miles better than WooCommerce, where we had to do everything manually. I really like Shopify overall and consider myself a big fan. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the fact that when something is not a feature, well, sometimes there are easy workarounds to get it sorted. Other times, it's, like, most insane coding that you have to do. Something I stumbled upon recently is Shopify doesn't have a feature to exclude products that are already on sale from discount codes. That is crazy to me. There should just be one very simple button to press that excludes products that are already on sale from discount codes. But alas, there's no such thing, you have to create a whole new collection and then exclude that collection from the discount codes, which is easy enough. However, it doesn't work when different variants of a product are on sale. So I haven't found a solution to that other than manually excluding the product from the discount codes applying to it, which for a platform that big a crazy thing not to have.

I like Shopify because it is cost-affordable and allows you to choose a plan that suits your needs without requiring a significant upfront investment. It's straightforward to set up a Shopify store, where I can quickly create products, collection categories, and visualize how the commerce experience will look on the front end. I find the marketplace apps to be very rich, offering plug-and-play features that can scale horizontally as the business grows. Shopify's robust API system allows easy integration with third-party apps, covering a wide range of use cases from CRMs to ERP, which makes it versatile. I also enjoy the ease of onboarding; it's very fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Shopify headless areas can be a bit improved because the liquid storefront has some drawbacks of performance. It would be really great if Shopify focuses a lot on headless environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In my experience, Shopify is useful for quickly setting up and managing an online store without needing to handle too many technical steps. What I find helpful is how it keeps different aspects like product listing, order tracking, and basic design customization in one place. From a design perspective, it allows me to present products in a structured way, which makes it easier to organize content and maintain consistency across pages.

I also like that updates can be made without disrupting the overall setup, which is important when changes are frequent. It helps save time and keeps things manageable, especially when working alongside other responsibilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I’ve noticed is that while it works well for standard setups, making more specific customizations can require additional effort or dependency on apps. Sometimes adjusting the layout exactly the way I want takes a bit of trial and adjustment.

Also, as more features or apps are added, it can become slightly harder to keep track of everything in one place. It’s not a major issue, but it does require some attention to maintain a clean and organized setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
