User Reviews of Shopify
Write a Review
Shopify is 100% the best platform. We have loved our experience with Shopify and will never leave.
Using Shopify we’ve been able to build something in 3 years that a lot of brands can’t do in 10 years.
I think what separates Shopify from the rest is how customizable it is. There is an app that suggests more things for visitors to buy. Every time somebody asks me “who does your website” I can proudly say “me” because of how intuitive the platform is in letting me control what is listed.
