Shopify Reviews & Product Details

Shopify is a top-rated, all-in-one e-commerce platform, universally recognized as one of the best ways to build an online store without technical skills. Users love its ease of use, reliable hosting, and built-in checkout, though many note that costs can accumulate quickly with third-party apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Shopify’s main disadvantages include hidden costs from paid apps and themes, expensive transaction fees if you don't use Shopify Payments, limited design customization without coding, and a steep learning curve for its proprietary Liquid programming language.

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.

What I like most about Shopify is how easy it is to set up and manage an online store. The interface is straightforward, it includes plenty of useful features, and it helps businesses start selling quickly without requiring advanced technical skills. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One downside of Shopify is that it can become expensive as you add more apps and move up to higher-tier plans. Also, some customization options aren’t very straightforward and may require coding knowledge or access to paid features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

The Interface could be more interactive and add more apps in app store Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like using Shopify because it shows cheaper prices than other websites, like Amazon, and offers the best price for the products. The sort function is particularly valuable because it allows me to sort reviews and see which products have more real and authentic reviews. I also find the fill feature very good. Setting up Shopify was very easy, it doesn't take more than five seconds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I saw many products where the seller is giving defective pieces, and then the customer reviews the product as defective, selling the defective pieces to them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate that Shopify offers a wide variety of information, including order processing, fulfillment, tracking, and inventory. I find order information especially useful because most of our customers are looking for updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Shopify’s frequent interface changes a bit challenging, especially with so much going on. I’d prefer it if information wasn’t moved somewhere really far from where it was in the original interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate that Shopify can be used for several different needs and its API syncs. Logging in once and being able to use several platforms that work together saves time, money, and frustrations. The initial setup of Shopify was very easy and intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find it really hard to customize Shopify's website features to match business needs. The most frustrating thing, even though it might seem small to many, was not being able to customize the fonts, which was important to my client. There were also a few platforms that couldn't sync with Shopify, but fortunately, it wasn't the biggest issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
