Shopify can quickly launch a store with its straightforward set up process and many customisable templates. It has a mobile responsive theme for a seamless shopping experience for customers on mobile. A vast selection of apps allows the user to add features that the store needs. It is SEO friendly for potential customers to find the store online. The app's built in analytics help track the store's performance and customer's behaviour.

Shopify's platform was chosen to become a core of our online grocery delivery business. It allows our customers to select their groceries and liquor from a big catalog, and then pay for their orders online. We consider this system to be one of the biggest assets our business currently has.
The system is very inflexible, especially when it comes to the checkout screen and analytics. Just a simple example: it's impossible to properly implement time-based deliveries in Shopify. Their tech support says that then "our product is not for you." That's a great answer, especially given time and money already invested in their platform. It's impossible to properly use Google Analytics to track orders through Shopify. It was done on purpose, so users purchase their higher-end plans with "built-in" analytics, which is way less powerful compared to what Google provides. Shopify doesn't care about their merchants. For example, when we got hit by fraudulent orders, they offered no help, but pointed us to a very vague and irrelevant FAQ. Later, when we got chargebacks, they offered no help or advice whatsoever. I also mentioned that they are not very eager to help with technical problems, saying "no" to many things that are important for Merchant's business to grow. The system is buggy, and they roll out changes that can potentially break your store without any warnings. Also we had multiple problems when our store didn't work for 5+ hours, because Shopify's infrastructure was down.
