- If you are looking for an all-in-one e-commerce solution for your online store, and you are looking to grow and add products – and you have a little bit of technical know-how, then Shopify will be a great fit for you.
- Plugins are great but they all contain the limitations of their creator. Typically, only an 85% solution
Shopify is a good choice for people that like to discover what their needs are and find a solution. Somewhat DIY. All solutions are plugins from their app store. Plugins are built by outside developers and supported by them. This poses a problem about support.
