Shopify Reviews & Product Details

Shopify is my go-to solution for creating ecommerce websites via their headless and admin API. With their headless and admin API, everything becomes really flexible and easy to work with NextJS. I can freely design my UI and business logic with the power of nextjs while also leaving the complexities of making an inventory system, CMS and product management part to shopify. I use shopify as ecommerce solution in almost all my ecommerce projects. While the implementation can be a bit complicated in the beginning, it gets really easy with time. Their customer support can be a bit slow but they get the job done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Shopify have some endpoints only available to their graphql API. I would love to have all the endpoints in their REST API as well. Another thing is their multipass login system which is only available in their plus plan. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about Shopify is how quickly and easily we can go from zero to building a real, fully functional store whether it’s setting up product pages, checkout flows, or even payment gateways. The drag-and-drop store builder is really good, and it lets us customize landing pages and run campaigns without writing code. Overall, the platform is very easy to use, and the customer support is also excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I don’t like is that the transaction fees become too much as we scale, so our margins end up being smaller. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simplicity, strong uptime, and a user-friendly experience. I also like that almost every type of team member can have a role: one person can just set up the theme, another can code to customize the theme, and another can go deeper into the code to build Shopify apps.

The biggest challenge with Shopify is that some integrations require manual setup steps for merchants. Simplifying the installation and configuration process for third-party apps would improve the experience significantly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Shopify allows access to a 3-day free trial, with the trial it is possible to perform the basic configurations to start selling products online. Shopify offers an ideal ecosystem for e-commerce, including inventory management, report visualization, and management of payment methods including credit cards and test payment methods in a simple and effective way. Shopify offers a layer of security, preventing common attacks on the website.

Shopify synchronizes through apps with multiple extensions, including Google Analytics and YouTube, facilitating the tracking of websites and e-commerce events.

Shopify is as robust a platform as needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Shopify makes it difficult to incorporate custom events into the data layer that travels to platforms like Google Tag Manager, making it complex to track and personalize the data sent to Tag Manager.

Shopify offers data dashboards with basic options and simple charts, but it is difficult to use complex or robust charts for website monitoring.

In some areas, especially in Latin America, some payment gateways are not available or there is no integration with them. Some have stopped working. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Shopify is easy to manage from both a developer and business perspective. We use it to handle products, orders, and payments all from a single dashboard. Theme customization and API integrations are straightforward, and the app ecosystem makes it simple to add shipping, payment, and marketing features as needed. Shopify also takes care of hosting, security, and performance, so we don’t have to manage server infrastructure ourselves. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Transaction fees and app-related costs can add up as a store grows, particularly when you need multiple plugins to cover different functions. More advanced customization can also be limited unless you move to Shopify Plus or invest in custom development. In addition, checkout customization and some backend controls remain more restricted than on fully open-source platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It allows us to move quickly, launching campaigns, updating product pages, building landing pages and implementing promotional strategies without heavy developer reliance. That agility is critical in a fast paced retail environment.

At the same time, Shopify’s ecosystem gives us enterprise level capability. The app integrations, automation tools, reporting and checkout optimisation allow us to continuously refine performance and improve conversion rates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Shopify is a strong platform overall, there are a few areas where we experience limitations. Advanced customisation can become restrictive without developer support. As a growing brand with both DTC and trade customers, more flexibility natively particularly around tiered pricing, customer segmentation and complex promotions, would reduce reliance on third-party apps.

I like that Shopify is a complete platform for running my e-commerce, it has all the tool I need to keep up with my clients and to have an online presence. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing I dislike about Shopify is that it is hard to contact customer support. I've only had one issue once and it took me like 10 minutes to figure out how to actually chat with a person to get my issue resolved. The person was helpful tho. But it was difficult to Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Shopify is its ease of use combined with powerful functionality. The platform makes it incredibly simple to set up, manage, and scale an online store without requiring deep technical expertise.

The interface is clean and intuitive, allowing merchants to focus on products, customers, and growth rather than complex configurations. The ecosystem of themes, apps, and integrations provides strong flexibility, making it easy to customize stores based on specific business needs.

I also appreciate the reliability and performance. Shopify handles hosting, security, and updates seamlessly, which reduces operational overhead and provides peace of mind.

Overall, Shopify offers a well-balanced solution that works equally well for beginners and growing businesses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One drawback of Shopify is the cost structure, particularly as a store scales. While the platform is easy to start with, expenses can add up through subscription plans, paid themes, and third-party apps.

Another limitation is customization flexibility. Although Shopify is highly capable, achieving certain advanced or highly specific design and functionality changes may require additional development effort or reliance on apps.

Transaction fees (depending on the payment setup) can also be a consideration for some businesses.

Overall, these trade-offs are understandable given the platform’s convenience and reliability, but they can impact budgeting and advanced customization needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like being able to buy and use new different themes with Shopify. It's nice to customize my website by myself without needing to hire anyone, especially since it's user-friendly and tech-savvy folks can handle it easily. I love how everything looks more professional, and I appreciate having all the tools in one place. The initial setup wasn't hard, particularly because the platform is user-friendly, which makes picking up new things manageable even when you're new to the product.

I think the cost of having to set up everything is going up and adds on require extra payment. I feel like Shopify should look at this and try to help new businesses by offering these for free. As we grow, maybe it makes sense to pay for those depending on usage, but initially, it's tough. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Shopify to create online stores for my clients with less budget and time. It simplifies all the complex requirements of running an e-commerce website, so I or my client don't need to be tech-savvy to manage products and orders. Shopify removes all the technical headaches by allowing us to select a theme and deploy the website live, eliminating the need for coding to implement payment gateways or product tracking. This enables my clients to focus more on their business without having a full-time tech employee. Comparatively, Shopify is much easier than other tools like WooCommerce, as you only need to select some options and provide information to start your first online store.

One thing that could be improved is its pricing and requirements of paid apps to add extra features on the website. Features like advanced product filtering, checkout page editor, and upsell options should be available for free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
