About Shopify
Shopify is a leading e-commerce platform that empowers entrepreneurs and businesses to create and manage their own online stores with ease. Founded in 2006 by Tobias Lütke, Daniel Weinand, and Scott Lake, Shopify was initially conceived as a way for the founders to sell snowboarding equipment online.

They initially said they would charge $25 after the first month, but I was billed $33 including tax. When I tried to contact support, the chatbot kept responding, and the support advisor was incredibly slow. They should really consider using a MERN stack for a real-time chat application.
I mainly just use Shopify for backend fulfillment stuff. For that it serves it’s purpose. I find running paid traffic to a funnel converts better than a shopify store.
Their customer support is not good, I like how easy it is to get everything set up and running, very good for beginners but once you get big I think you want to go full custom built. That’s what I have heard anyway.
I absolutely LOVE Shopify. My only hope is that as larger companies join the platform, they continue to support smaller businesses like ours. I can’t see how anyone wouldn’t love Shopify. We built our business on it five years ago and have never had any issues. Anytime we wanted to make changes or customizations, their dev team was always there to help, even if just with instructions. Keep up the great work!
