We use shopify because wix wasn't fitting everything we need.
The recent updates allow you to have a lot more control over your site and what you can do to inprove your design look.
There's a big limit on how much control you have if you haven't paid for the premium service.

Amazing! I changed from Wix and won’t go anywhere else
I actually love everything about Shopify. It’s literally an all in one! It has all the features or app a small business owner needs to stand with the big guys
The monthly subscription is high but it’s worth it. I wish more apps were free for growing the business (privy, sms, etc). The more money we make and have to potential to grow our consumer list - the more Shopify makes.

Love it and do not plan at all leaving Shopify now ,or in the far future.
The ease of use in creating a website is phenomenal. You can build a decent, high quality website with little to no experience in coding or design in a matter of hours. The integrations between Shopify and advertising platforms such as Google Adsense, Facebook Blueprint, and others are major time savors and crucial for business. Payment processing both online or in store are made a breeze. In practically every capacity specific to e=commerce Shopify is king.
Wix, a competitor, arguably offers more features for creating your own UNIQUE looking website- I like A&B testing, so I enjoyed that aspect of wix (However, understand that your website will look GOOD on Shopify, and in literally every other capacity Shopify is superior)

Great eCommerce platform where you can customize with countless apps, codes, and add ons
Back end is more advanced than a platform like Wix or Squarespace so there is a learning curve

Easier to use than others, like wix. They offered better free photo options and the free templates as well
It took me a while to set up my website, almost 5 wks including the 2 wk free trial. I called and asked about being charged the full even though I wasn’t using the actual website yet, so I wanted some kind of reimbursement. They said I could go on the dormant plan but it would only be prorated. Why was I never shown the dormant plan when I signed up, how would I know to use that!? They would not refund me anything. A 2 week free trial is pretty sad, and not enough time for the average person to make a website, and I think they know and take advantage of that. Pretty sad.

Shopify is an easy-to-use platform for those looking to create an online store. I've used both Shopify and Wix to create online stores for my clients. Shopify was created to sell multiple products. It's easy to create an online store and track your results.
The main con that I did not like dealt with the editor. The Wix editing platform is very easy to use.

It is a great site to host your website. Lots of apps and possibilities to make your business standout.
Create your own website. Very easy to integrate apps. Add products. Their platform is very easy to make your own site but its limited in some ways unless you know coding.
didn't have the ability to customize it the way WIX can. It is a bit limited on how you can organize things.

We are acquiring profit while our "blog site" operates each day, and users are
Our team-lead is an author and blogs daily with a large following, but his physical/digital books sales were down. We switched to Shopify and his bookstore after set up and management has created more profit.
The site customization is not as easy as some well know companies like Wix or Squarespace when it comes to creating an all-inclusive website.

Great experience, it's a platform build for the modern ecommerce store.
Great plugins available on the app store for your site. Perfect for people selling products.
I wish you did't need to have a plugin to build pages. Would be nice if there was a built in page builders on every page like squarespace and wix.
