It&#8217;s beginner friendly, but still robust enough to handle anything a pro throws at it.  There are a lot of built in features but also a ton of paid apps available. You can sell directly on your site, multi channel sell and on social media too.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shopify<strong> is great for\u2026<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>New, ecommerce stores.<\/strong>&nbsp;Shopify is great for newbies and pros. It is beginner friendly but yet scalable for those offering large amounts of inventory.   <\/li><li><strong>Retailers that sell through other platforms<\/strong>&nbsp;(Instagram, Etsy, eBay, etc) as well as through your own store. If you already have a strong presence on other platforms, Shopify is a great choice for multi-channel &amp; social media selling.<\/li><li><strong>Already established <\/strong> retailers that have outgrown your current platform or you want more features.  <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>We don&#8217;t recommend Shopify for\u2026<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Small Sellers<\/strong>. If you have a very small niche site with one or two products or you aren&#8217;t planning on scaling any time soon, then Shopify is not the best place for that. It&#8217;s because their transaction fees, and app fees start to add up pretty quickly! <\/li><li><strong>A seller with a tight budget.&nbsp;<\/strong>The biggest problem with Shopify is that their fees can start to add up quickly by all the plug ins &amp; other add ons that you might select to make your store work. Yes, there are A LOT of free apps, but there are a lot of paid ones too! These can add up quickly!<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shopify Review Pros and Cons<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>PROS: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Ideal for larger stores. <\/li><li>A big app market of plugins to add functionality. More than 6000 and  3000+ are FREE!<\/li><li>If you want to multi-channel sell to third parties and social media, they make it EASY<\/li><li>Tons of payment options<\/li><li>24 hour, 7 days a week customer support<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>CONS:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>It&#8217;s not as easy as other site builders. So their builder \/ site editor does take some getting used to. <\/li><li>You have to PAY for certain app features that you get for FREE on other platforms. <\/li><li>If you do not use Shopify payments, prepare to get hit with additional transaction fees.<\/li><li>More expensive than you think&#8230; things like extra transaction fees, and paying for app features all take away from your profit and just add to your monthly store costs. So be careful! <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color has-very-dark-gray-color has-background has-vivid-cyan-blue-background-color\" href=\"https:\/\/shopify.pxf.io\/e4G2q1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Learn More About Shopify Here<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Shopify is a great option for small to medium sized businesses or if you plan to scale to a larger sized business quickly.
