One of the main selling points of Shopify is how fast you can set up a website with their website templates and already pre-designed sites. It's straight to the point, edit the template with the details you want. It also comes with a built in shop checkout which is very convenient as a new start-up, it's difficult to set up payment methods which lead to other sites. I also like how easy the backend is to use, very detailed with manufacturer editable details also.

1. The lack of customization is an issue with Shopify. They use their own language to code their websites and adding any complex features requires professional help. 2. The pricing is a bit too steep. Even though their quality of service is amazing, for small stores or websites, it can be expensive. 3. The platform is very generic and does not have that many options when it comes to themes.
