I've been in the industry for 10+ years, and over time it's got better and better, and is a complete platform for anybody looking to sell online. I would not consider any alternative, ever. > > **Cons**: Shopify Plus fees are too high compared to the value received, considering the smaller plans offer 80% of the tools we need to have success in eCommerce. ----- ### "Shopify Review" — 4.0/5 > **Dean** | *27 March 2026* | Building Materials | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very good user experience, well thought out platform. Super easy to create and more importantly manage an eCommerce site. > > **Cons**: Main issue is the lack of control over checkout and customer accounts. I know you can get a bit more with plus but the price jump is crazy. ----- ### "Shopify opens your online store to the world" — 4.0/5 > **Darren** | *4 February 2026* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Shopify is an all in one solution platform that is quick and easy to set up and maintain. It has plenty of themes, integrations and apps - all in a clear and seemless presentation. Shopify provides a secure and scaleable solution, so you can start small and simple, then morph into something much larger and complicated. > > **Cons**: All the ongoing costs for transactions and extra fees for addons can really add up. Customisation can be limited compared to open source competitors. It can be difficult to migrate to another platform. > > Shopify is the industry standard. You get what you pay for with Shopify. A seamless, well designed and supported platform that meets expectations. Shopify provides a great ecommerce solution that focuses on improving customer conversion. ----- ### "Shopify is great for scaling business without the manpower" — 5.0/5 > **Isabella** | *30 May 2025* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is the industry standard for ecommerce and works well for the size of our business. It is user-friendly and scalable. > > **Cons**: It is expensive, shopify plus is the only option for us at the moment and the monthly fees are expensive. > > One of the best ecommerce platforms I have used as I don't need extensive web development knowledge to make changes/ updates to my site. ----- ### "Reliable and Scalable Platform with Excellent Support" — 5.0/5 > **Christielli** | *31 October 2024* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The platform's reliability is a huge plus, along with its excellent support team. Whenever we’ve needed help, the support team has been quick to respond, knowledgeable, and helpful. It’s clear they prioritize customer satisfaction. > > **Cons**: One drawback is the need for custom apps to be hosted on external servers. While Shopify offers a range of app integrations, having to set up and maintain separate hosting for custom apps adds to our workload and operational costs. > > Our overall experience with Shopify has been very positive. It’s a robust platform that works well under heavy usage, and the support team’s responsiveness makes managing the store smooth and worry-free. ----- Page: 1 / 268\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/83891/shopify?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/83891/shopify) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
