Shopify Plus Reviews

Pros

Scalability, a range of advanced features, Dedicated Support, Security and Reliability- It's important to note that Shopify Plus is primarily geared towards larger businesses with more complex needs and higher transaction volumes.

Cons

A higher price, Customization Limitations, Limited Ownership, Dependency on Third-Party Apps

Pros

It's easy to plug in apps to customize your site functionality and user experience.

Cons

Shopify no longer refunds fees when an order is cancelled or refunded. This is a huge cost to vendors. In general support is good but sometimes it takes a little back an forth to get a solution.

Reasons for Choosing Shopify Plus

Reasons for Switching to Shopify Plus

Pros

Shopify Plus includes features like customizable checkout experiences, automated workflows, and advanced security options, which are essential for large enterprises.

Cons

If merchants choose to use payment gateways other than Shopify Payments, they incur additional transaction fees. This can add up and impact profit margins.

Pros

It's quick and easy to setup a Shopify+ store

Cons

It's quick to setup but a number of the advanced feature needed for modern Ecommerce are bolt on point solutions that vary greatly in quality and manageability.

Pros

If the implementation is standard then Shopify Plus is a great option with many out of the box features and easy integrations via 3rd party apps.

Cons

If the implementation is very customized, like it is for our business, then Shopify Plus can be complicated to work with vs other eCommerce Platforms than allow for greater customization.

Pros

I love how you get hundreds of features for really low price and I see no competition to that.
Recently Shopify added even more value with AI. It speeds a lot of things, I can quickly fill different fields, email automations, product pages with it and with no additional cost.
Also they are expanding with e-mail automation and I don't have to use 3rd party software for e-mails anymore, which saves me even more money.

Cons

The only thing I disliked so far is that as a new user to the platform you can get overwhelmed with features and it would be really useful to hide some or have some kind of clickthrough on-site tutorials.
Sometimes they also make changes to the interface and it can be confusing what happened, but I guess it depends how often you use the software to learn what is what.

Pros

We were able to integrate it with our ERP platform to enable online orders through a store front. There are so many different applications that are on the marketplace that can enhance your store in ways you didn't imagine. It was also quite easy to integrate with our 3PL as they had already developed an app through the Shopify platform.

During the pandemic, it opened up the avenue for us to sell online especially when non-essential stores were not allowed to open and Melbourne being lockdown for such a long period.

Cons

Nothing, it was quite simple to use however we did have some small hiccups with integrating with our ERP

Pros

The 2 things i get most from are the customisable checkout process with upsell functionality and the seasonal store designs

Cons

I havent found a downside to it yet. The support is fantastic and our assigned account manager is fantastic

Pros

Great software - When it comes to customer's data and support on products, orders and inventory.

Cons

This is a very user friendly tool. I'd only suggest better features with other apps.

Pros

Simple to upload as many products to the online shop. The layout and navigation of the website is brilliant from a users perspective. Straightforward to change the settings so that live items on the site are those which are In Stock.

Cons

Would be better if it was more SEO friendly and able to add numerous content sections to a page.

Pros

It does a turn-key job for you. All what you need for your business is there.

Cons

Updates on mobile phones needs to be regular.

Pros

Shopify plus is ideal for enterprise business. It supports liquid code changes at the checkout page.

Cons

Plus plan is useful only for complex code changes and customizations, so you should hire a technical support person to manage it. Easy of use is complicated

Pros

Shopify plus made it so easy to get an online web presence started with the abilities to take orders and collect money right away.

Cons

I feel like the tier levels are a bit pricey a bit too soon. They have tailored their pricing structure towards larger "small businesses."

Pros

Shopify has been great for our b2b business. It has a ton of great features that allow for a bunch of customization and integrations.

Being the size that it is, there are so many CRM’s that integrate with it too, making it great to use with HubSpot.

Overall, it is great for growing businesses.

Cons

There are a lot of integrations for shopify that I feel should just have been apart of shopify itself. The ability to lock certain pages on your website should just be standard rather than relying on an app. It would allow for way less time researching apps and more time using the platform itself.

Pros

Shopify is a very powerful platform that can run any e-commerce store from the smallest startup to the largest brands. The software has many users contributing to its platform and is very well documented, making it simple to find ways to customize your store. It is a very flexible, yet easy-to-use platform that can be customized in many ways. I have looked into other various solutions but Shopify offers the most our of the door. It offers many apps that can increase the functionality of the platform.

Cons

The Shopify Plus option is much more expensive than the previous options but offers a lot for the price.

Pros

It’s extremely Fast and easy to set up a Shopify plus store. This app is indeed expensive but it’s great for businesses. I love that your online store well I have a trusted and reliable security. It’s also has a very good speed. Ruby programming language helps you to create Custom Promo’s when you are a Spotify plus Customer. Spotify plus helps you to get your business on a bigger scale really fast.

Cons

This platform is expensive. It does have a few problems with calculations and some basic data. But overall not that bad you can try it out.

Pros

So easy! Having been on a different platform for 3 years that operated on a break + fix model (something breaks, we spend money + time to fix. That in turn breaks something else, more time + money to fix, and the cycle continues), this platform operates like a dream. We actually get to optimize our site and spend time testing functions and driving the business.

Cons

some limitations as it relates to promos + discounts. Cannot use more than 1 discount code at a time. Cannot store a credit in a customer account. Cannot edit an order (now you can, but there are limitations).

Pros

It gives a lot of flexibility to larger businesses to have a great shopping experience for their customers, accumulate the data needed to manage their store, and a partner and app ecosystem that has great teams involved helping to solve real business problems.

Cons

Much like the other versions of the Shopify software, the cost of goods would be a very useful feature to be included.

Pros

Extremely easy to implement. Build took 3 months. Launch was anticlimactic and backlog of tasks were minimal.

Cons

There are some limitations on how much you can customize it, but it's not a dealbreaker.

Pros

I love how user friendly their platform is. I'm able to do everything I need from setting up items to advertising. I love that they already provide the most common analytics to help us drive sales. They have a very reasonable monthly subscription, which is awesome!

Cons

I think the only con I would see would be that some of the free templates need a little coding to get where we need to get it, but that is easily remedied by jumping on to their community forum or reaching out to their friendly customer service!

Pros

Shopify Plus is expensive, but if it fits your business size it's worth it! For smaller businesses the lower levels of the Shopify Tiers are good for your size; but if Shopify Plus makes sense go for it. Specifically Shopify Flow and Shopify Script Editor on Plus have been game changers for our business! Shopify Flow makes day to day management of our store so much easier!

Cons

The library of "pre-built" Shopify scripts for Script Editor is very small. You definitely have to rely on third party sources and custom developers to build most scripts for even basic things.

Pros

Shopify is highly customizable and easy to use for the entire team.

Cons

Inventory management and other tools are either missing or very basic.

Pros

as i created a dropshipping business shopify was the first place i went and i cannot say how great the platform is. very easy and user friendly

Cons

i think they could of had more background templates

Pros

The amount of support and features that shopify has is off the charts. We have been a shopify plus user since we transitioned and there isn't a better ecommerce platform out there.

Cons

We wish there was a lot more options for native features without having to use apps.

Pros

It's a powerful tool for businesses with high volume. Our business leverages and integrates the platform for clients with large volume sales or visits to their e-commerce platforms. Best part? Mixing and matching online and in store inventory.

Cons

It's long to setup. It takes an experienced team. If you're not affluent in Shopify (the regular version) this is NOT the solution for you right away unless you're working with an agency or have qualified staff to work with it.
