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.”

Founder and Shopify E-commerce Strategist at Opklopper

Pros

“Being able to transfer money instantly to my bank account for a tiny fee proves extremely practical when I need to unlock small amounts of cash urgently while traveling.”

Heather H.

Marketing and Communications Executive

“The qr code feature is also really handy when you are meeting someone for the first time like at a flea market because you dont have to type in a long username and risk sending money to the wrong person.”

Temiloluwa E.

Student

“It allows for you to easily send money to friends, family members, and collect payments for business purposes.”

Brianna T.

Founder

Cons

“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.”

Gary A.

Founder CEO

“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.”

Felix N.

Founder

“Shopify charges transaction fees for using third party payment processors, but my company is not able to use Shopify Payments due to being a CBD company. While Shopify provides many tools, recommendations and suggestions, my company is unable to utilize them because of the restrictions they place on CBD companies.”

Josh A.

Co-founder, VP of Marketing

Cons

“I set up a business profile for collecting and sending payments for my small business. Once I added my checking account, I proceeded in trying to send a payment and got an error message.”

Colleen H.

OWNER

“Additionally, customer support can be limited if there are issues with an account or a payment dispute. While it’s very convenient for everyday use, these drawbacks can occasionally be frustrating.”

Rebecca R.

Production manager

“Sometimes there are minor glitches such as notifications or incompletion of transaction details that causes confusion.”

Nguyen H.

Deputy Service Manager
