    My Go-To E-Commerce Solution

    4 out of 5 stars Date: Oct 23 2020
    Summary

    Shopify is a great e-commerce solution and really gives the business owner a platform that is easy to manage. As a designer, the app world is frustrating and I wish more came out of the box, but it is still the best solution I’ve found.

    Positive

    Shopify takes the complicated world of e-commerce and turns it into something that anyone can manage. I am designer that really does not like to manage client sites after building them. Shopify is a platform that I can train almost anyone to no matter what age or technical inclination.

    Negative

    There are some features that seem like they should be out of the box that aren’t and require stringing together many apps that each cost a monthly subscription. Some of the main ones I see are not being able to customize internal search, hide products from search, and set shipping rates by zip code.
