Pros

“I use it to sell photography albums, and it provides a professional checkout experience, secure payment processing, and multiple payment options for clients.”

michael k.

President

“We use Shopify for new webshop builds, redesigns, replatforming projects, migrations and ongoing webshop optimization.”

Simon A.

Founder and Shopify E-commerce Strategist at Opklopper

“Our experience is that Shopify gives growing brands a reliable foundation for product management, checkout, payments, shipping, content, tracking, apps, integrations and international growth.”

Pros

“Miva includes very sophisticated software that doesn't require monthly subscriptions, and while the cost is still high, it is much lower than a shopify site.”

Mike R.

President

“Additionally, Miva let's you choose a credit card processor, which can potentially save you a ton of money vs. Shopify, which requires you to use their processor.”

Mike R.

President

“Shopify has very little inherent functionality, and to build a high functioning website requires monthly subscriptions to dozens of apps. ”

Mike R.

President

Cons

“Monthly subscription that can strain cash flow at launch, some third-party apps get expensive quickly, advanced customization requires coding knowledge.”

Nicole T.

Event Marketing and Operations

“Another minor frustration is that certain features and reports are only available on higher-tier plans, which can make it difficult for smaller businesses to access the tools they need without upgrading.”
