Security and updates are all taken care of for you, which is especially important when selling online. > > **Cons**: The customisation options can be limited with certain website templates. This can be overcome with custom coding however. > > It's a great ecommerce solution, both for those just getting started selling online, and also those with established businesses. ----- ### "The Best E-Com Website Tool" — 5.0/5 > **Tanveer** | *19 October 2024* | Wholesale | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: easy to start with new website and easy payment method > > **Cons**: margin to deduct from payment method with you use web payment > > very good and i using it from a 5 years. i am increasing revnue. ----- ### "Shopify Review for Developers" — 5.0/5 > **Slayder** | *3 March 2026* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Scalability and hosting management offer speed and consistency as the business grows. The website adapts to continue processing all data and the front end for users in the best possible way. > > **Cons**: The prices in relation to functionality can be somewhat extensive compared to other CMS software on the market, but once you start working on the platform, how intuitive and easy it is makes it possible to pay for the service. > > My experience with Shopify has been mostly positive. I have developed two e-commerce websites and have also provided support for another e-commerce site built on Shopify, and the software is pleasant. The only downside as a developer is that Shopify, not being open source, does not allow certain adjustments or customizations unless it is with authorization or direct support from Shopify. Another strong point is the payment options and Shopify Payments; it is usually very convenient due to having simple rates that can have benefits if contracted annually and paid monthly. ----- ### "he Most Reliable and User-Friendly E-commerce Platform on the Market" — 5.0/5 > **Jan** | *7 April 2026* | Sports | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ease of use is definitely the standout feature. Website creation is intuitive thanks to the drag-and-drop editor, making it accessible even if you don't have a coding background. I also really appreciate the 24/7 chat and call support; they are usually very quick to resolve technical hiccups. The platform is incredibly stable, and the vast app ecosystem allows you to add almost any functionality you need as you scale. > > **Cons**: While the platform is powerful, the value for money can get a bit complicated. Monthly costs can add up quickly once you start adding paid apps and premium themes. I also find the payment structure a bit restrictive; if you don't use Shopify Payments, you’re hit with additional transaction fees, which can eat into the margins of a small business. > > My overall experience has been very positive. Shopify is a "one-stop-shop" that takes the technical headache out of running an online store. It handles payment options and security seamlessly, allowing me to focus more on marketing and products rather than server maintenance. It’s a reliable, scalable solution that grows with your business, despite the slightly higher price point for premium features. ----- ### "The Game of Shopping: Shopify And How E-Commerce Can Improve" — 3.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *6 April 2026* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: I enjoyed the easy user interface, combined marketplace selling feature such as via social media, through third party apps, or even in person/point of sale, as well as the high performance levels of the app and its affiliates. > > **Cons**: However, what I disliked about Shopify is the charges, fees, limited usage with other apps, and the "gamey" nature of the app, in that it sometimes feels more like a reward system than an ecosystem. > > Overall, the experience with Shopify has been just OK, but trending more negatively the more I used it, and felt that ultimately it wasn't right for me both as a consumer and a user due to the cons, especially price, outweighing the pros. There was also little customer support and long queues. ----- Page: 1 / 268\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ie/software/83891/shopify?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ie/software/83891/shopify) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
