A powerful and scaleable e-commerce platform with huge flexibility, but costs can grow quickly as you expand
Overall, Shopify has been an excellent platform for running and scaling our e-commerce operations. It is incredibly powerful, stable, and easy to manage day-to-day. The ecosystem around Shopify is one of its biggest strengths, particularly the huge range of apps and strong compatibility with third-party tools, which allows us to customise and expand functionality as we grow. The main drawback is cost. While the core platform is strong, additional functionality often requires paid apps or upgrades, which can add up quickly. As we sell products that can be considered high-risk in certain markets, we are also required to use Shopify Plus, which increases overall platform costs.
