What I do not like about Shopify is that it is limited when it´s the moment to create a website in another language; it is very difficult to venture into this field.

What problems is Shopify solving and how is that benefiting you?

Shopify gives me important solutions in the website, in fact, it contributes through the automation of the publications in social networks, which are important sales opportunities. I have had good results with it.

"Shopify helped us from the start"

We really like Shopify platform, because it helped us since we started to create a website; it gave us all the necessary tools to manage entirely a website, from marketing online to everything related to payment methods and product shipment. It continues to be our favorite platform without a doubt.

The only disadvantage we can point out about Shopify is that it should have technical support available in other languages apart from English.

What problems is Shopify solving and how is that benefiting you?

Shopify not only helps us to design a website, but also it contributes to promote it thanks to its App Store, which has a big number of free and Premium plugins that have allowed us to boost our sales and optimize our online store.

"With Shopify, you can start an online store"
What do you like best about Shopify?

When I used Shopify to launch the web store, I liked that it gave me all the resources I needed to start selling, such as: publishing, editing and offering the products when and where I wanted. I do not need to be an expert in the matter to be able to do it, it's very easy. I am still using Shopify to manage the online store.

What do you dislike about Shopify?

What I do not like about this software is that when I sell from another application such as Facebook, the stocktakings do not match with those supplied by Shopify. It's sad!

What problems is Shopify solving and how is that benefiting you?

I like that with Shopify it is possible for customers to feel safe every time they use the cart to make their purchases. The security that Shopify provides them is essential for sales and to increase my profits as it does.

"Sales means Shopify with its cart"
What do you like best about Shopify?

Shopify is our best ally in the online project we are creating. We don´t have idea how fast the sale process would be. The best thing is that we do not need to know about coding to configure it and integrate some important plugins.

What do you dislike about Shopify?

Until now, we don´t have had any bad experiences with the platforms, because it has helped us to grow satisfactorily.

What problems is Shopify solving and how is that benefiting you?

Using the smart system of Shopify is the best. It simplifies the management of the webpage, the shipping of the orders and also to prepare them. Apart from that, with this complement I can directly notify to the clients an important information, so it seems to me a practical and useful tool.

The negative detail of Shopify, in my opinion, is that it is very expensive. As I have tried with other types of platforms, I think they are cheaper than Shopify.

What problems is Shopify solving and how is that benefiting you?

What can't I do with Shopify? It helps me a lot to have added the purchase button. This plugin has allowed me to sell a lot and it has allowed to ensure a sale faster because of its simplicity.

"¡Crear tu propia tienda con shopify es muy fácil!"
What do you like best about Shopify?

Lo mejor de Shopify es la simplicidad con la que puede configurar su propia tienda desde 0 y casi sin conocimientos, pudiendo comenzar a ganar el mismo día que se crea la tienda. He usado shopify por mucho tiempo y tengo alrededor de 6 tiendas diferentes, todas me dan beneficios y casi sin gastos, ya que shopify le ofrece su propio dominio para su tienda. +Shopify es muy simple pero al mismo tiempo muy poderoso, ya que ofrece muchas opciones en tu panel de control. +Puedes crear tu tienda en el dominio de shopify o en una de tu elección. +Hay muchos "temas" para decorar tu tienda como desees +La tienda es totalmente personalizable y ofrece plantillas para todo, especialmente las plantillas de correo son muy buenas. +Período de prueba para nuevos desarrolladores.

What do you dislike about Shopify?

- Al principio puede ser abrumador debido a la gran cantidad de opciones, pero hay mucha información y documentación en el sitio web de Shopify. - Algunas veces las tarifas son inexactas, pero se resuelven actualizando su navegador con F5.

What problems is Shopify solving and how is that benefiting you?

Necesitaba una forma sencilla de crear una tienda en línea donde no tuviera que comprar dominios ni servicios de hosting para probar mi negocio de ventas en línea, con Shopify lo obtuve y también he tenido éxito.
