Shopify

The commerce platform that powers millions

The leading e-commerce platform for online stores of all sizes. Handles everything from product listings to payment processing, shipping, and inventory.

Our take

Shopify is the default choice for e-commerce, and for good reason — its ecosystem of apps, themes, and payment integrations is unmatched. Setting up a store is straightforward, and Shopify Payments eliminates the hassle of third-party processors (though it charges extra if you use one). The app marketplace fills virtually any feature gap, but those $10-30/month apps add up fast. Content management beyond products is basic compared to Webflow or WordPress. Transaction fees on non-Shopify-Payments plans sting. Best for anyone whose primary goal is selling products online, from solo sellers to scaling brands.
