Shopify is a popular solution to build eCommerce sites. It is said 28 percent of the ecommerce sites on the world wide web are built with Shopify. The nearest competitors are woocommerce with 25 percent, and wix with 12 percent. If you want to use Shopify, you will have to pay at least $29 per month for subscriptions. Due to its high subscription price, it might not be the best eCommerce Solution, especially for beginners.

I looked into Shopify myself a few weeks ago but still being a beginner myself and still learning, I have not gone any further due to the subscription fees and how high they are. It is still something I am considering but until I know more and understand it more and I know it will pay off, I can't justify the monthly fee.

Shopify has a high subscription fee, you will also have to pay additional fees for add-ons and themes. Therefore, unless you have a lot of money, do not use shopify. I find woocommerce better because it is free.

It would have been the best but it has a high subscription fee and I don't think people would love to pay a higher subscription fee but I know a number of people who are making use of it

When you are doing business, how much money you spend to set up your business is not a great concern. Shopify is still one of the most used ecommerce platforms despite being a premium platform.

I think a lot of people love to use it because they will not have to start bothering about using a lot of money to rent shops or for their business because they can just do it on there

It is easy to get started with shopify. You do not have to set up a hosting, as hosting will be enabled with your subscriptions. Since you do not have to work too much on setting up the shop, you can focus on selling.

I think this is why a lot of sellers prefer to sell on it because I know so many of my friends who are selling here and they even prefer it to order e-commerce websites which I don't even know why

This platform Shopify seems pretty popular but so I guess it would or should be one of the best e-commerce platforms out there. But the problem i have with this is the subscription part .

Building an online store with shopify is easy, that's why it is very popular. If you are generating tons of sales, paying for subscription wouldn't be a problem. But for someone with limited funds, shoipify is not a viable option.

I do not know if shopify is the best e-commerce solution because all these thing depends on individual. I might like using shopify to carry out e-commerce transactions and you might not like doing so.

For most small-medium online merchants, Shopify provides an optimal balance of usability, built-in functionality and scalability at a reasonable cost. Intuitive store setup, seamless POS integration, robust analytics, abundant app integrations and a prosperous ecosystem give retailers a proven path to grow online sales.

If you use shopify, you will end up at least $500 just to build a website, you will have to spend another $500 to build your inventory and another $500 for marketing. The cost of running a shopify store is high

That is a huge amount of money and needs someone to work for a while to reach such an amount of money so it is not an easily achievable amount of money nowadays for small-budget people.

Though l am not that engaged in those issues concerning the online stores but l have constantly read from forums and the social media platforms that Shopify does it best when we come to the online stores for that matter.

Running a shoipify store is very expensive. Howeve,r if you are not in a tight budget, you can try this as it will simplify a lot of things related to ecommerce management. If offers tools that will help you create different kinds of ecommerce sites.
