I see it as the Cadillac of business website building. Shopify has a large following that is helpful for getting traffic. > > **Cons**: It is expensive and offers more than what I need to use. Options are needed for the best use, however many of them cost more money. > > It's the best source for eCommerce website building. I have researched all the major eCommerce websites for comparison and believe Shopify is the best. There are many instructions that make navigation easy. I found it easy to build a beautiful website. Customer service is great if there are any problems. There are many templates that target specific business models. It also provides a user-friendly, drag-and-drop editor with no coding. I like the secure payment processing, inventory management, and marketing tools. ----- ### "Strong eCommerce platform with reliable NetSuite integration" — 5.0/5 > **Sonu** | *24 April 2026* | Consumer Goods | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Shopify is very easy to use and quick to set up compared to other eCommerce platforms. The UI is clean, and managing products, orders, and payments is pretty straightforward. What worked really well for us is how smoothly it integrates with other systems — we’re using it with NetSuite via Celigo, and that has helped automate a lot of our order and customer data flow. It saves a lot of manual work once everything is set up properly. Also, the app ecosystem is quite strong if you need extra features. > > **Cons**: Costs can increase quite a bit over time, especially with paid apps and transaction fees. While the basics are easy, more advanced customization isn’t very straightforward and often needs developer support. From an integration perspective, maintaining workflows via Celigo sometimes needs monitoring, especially when there are sync errors or data mismatches. > > Overall, our experience has been positive. Shopify handles the front-end eCommerce side really well, and with the NetSuite integration through Celigo, we’ve been able to streamline backend operations like order syncing and inventory updates. There were some initial challenges during setup and mapping, but once stabilized, it’s been quite reliable. It’s a good option if you want something scalable without building everything from scratch. ----- ### "Used Shopify for a decade, overall very disappointed" — 1.0/5 > **Felix** | *29 July 2025* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: The up time of the online shop, and basic foundations of Shopify have been good, one of the few redeeming features; our website is rarely not working, and the payments basically always seem to work. Useful to connect to POS too. > > **Cons**: The support has become unbelievably bad, even if you are paying them hundreds of pounds every month, you now have to convince an Ai chatbot to let you speak to a human. And even then, how poor the support you get really leaves you worrying that you are trusting this company with your business... We recently had to rest a user account, after 4 days of jumping through hoops to try and get Shopify support to fix it, they reset the wrong account (my admin account), and in the end, after 5 days of no access to our own account, I had to track down a former employee, now in a different country, to get a code to access the account. And no matter how useless the support, if you try and ask for any money back, from the substantial sums you are paying them, it seems the support are trained to completely ignore you, pretend the question doesn't exist. Shopify also seem to be constantly 'updating' things, which actually seems to mean removing support or functionality, over-simplifying things. And then constantly telling you 'shopify can't do that', or 'can't do that anymore' so you need to 'use an app'. So you end up using loads of apps, and any time something goes wrong, shopify just says 'not our problem, you need to speak with the apps support...'. And more and more we are hearing from the App's support that Shopify is stopping them doing things, removing functionality etc. > > After 11 years of use, overall very disappointed with Shopify. And don;'t be fooled that if you just upgrade, the offering will be better: we tried plus (it was underwhelming to say the least, and a complete rip off on price; if I recall correctly, part of the contract you have to sign included not telling others how much it costs you, which says quite a lot....). It was a few years ago, and we wanted a B2B online store, but despite the price tag, back then their B2B offering didn't even have payment terms.. (pay on 30 days), among a ton of other issues (like not being able to have a different billing address and shipping address for wholesale orders). Turned out we were basically paying a lot of money to be guinea pigs.. The wider issue we have seen, as a difference from the early years we used Shopify to now is that the support has become incredibly poor. You can be paying them a lot of money each year, but doesn't mean you'll be able to speak to someone, or should expect a reply within 48 hours when you finally get through... Let alone the issue being sorted promptly, and efficiently. And time and time again, when we have an issue, their support process seems a mess, to the extent that you get real fear and anxiety that you are so reliant on them for your online shop/business. ----- ### "Easy to Use and Reliable" — 5.0/5 > **Alissa** | *5 April 2026* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Shopify is easy it is to use, even if you’re not super techsavvy. The website process is very straightforward, and you can get a store up and running pretty quickly. There are a lot of templates to choose from, and they look professional without needing much customization. I also liked the variety of payment options—it makes it simple for customers to check out, which is huge for conversions. I’ve been able to reach someone through chat pretty easily when I needed help. > > **Cons**: biggest downside is the cost. Between the monthly subscription, transaction fees, and paid apps, it can get expensive fast, especially if you’re just starting out. > > my experience with Shopify has been really positive. It’s a solid platform for building and managing an online store, and it handles payments smoothly, which takes a lot of stress off. The ease of use and reliable customer support make it beginner-friendly, but it’s also scalable if your business grows. The only real drawback is the pricing, but if you’re making consistent sales, it’s worth it ----- ### "Selling our online language classes." — 4.0/5 > **Blerta** | *2 April 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The usability of the site in terms of creating a website is incredible as our non-technical teaching staff have been able to open storefronts to our online language courses and are able to effortlessly take tuition in a variety of payment options. > > **Cons**: The basic subscription and basic premium apps is not a good value to a small tutoring centre and having to use their outsourced call and chat services can be painstakingly slow when something important in the payment gateway breaks down. > > As a Language Instructor, it is important to reach more students online. I sell our digital study guides with it and maintain course enrollments. It is a very strong engine of e-commerce, however the monthly prices grow rapidly. ----- Page: 1 / 269\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ae/software/8275/shopify?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ae/software/8275/shopify) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
