Shopify Store Builder

The World's Leading Ecommerce Platform

Shopify is the complete commerce platform that lets you start, grow, and manage a business. Used by millions of merchants worldwide, Shopify powers everything from solo entrepreneurs to global enterprises like Gymshark, Allbirds, and Mattel—collectively processing over $1 trillion in sales.

All-in-One Commerce Solution

Shopify provides everything you need to run an online and physical retail business from a single platform. Create a beautiful online store, sell on social media and marketplaces, process payments, manage inventory, fulfill orders, and analyze performance—all without needing technical expertise. The platform handles hosting, security (PCI compliant), and infrastructure, so you can focus on growing your business.

The Best Checkout in Ecommerce

Shopify Checkout delivers 15% higher conversions on average compared to other platforms (verified by third-party study). It's lightning-fast, fully customizable, mobile-optimized, and trusted by 150+ million high-intent buyers. Shop Pay accelerates checkout with saved payment and shipping information, significantly reducing cart abandonment.

AI-Powered Business Tools

Shopify Magic uses AI to save time across your entire operation. Generate product descriptions, create marketing content, optimize images, get business insights, and receive personalized recommendations—all powered by commerce-specific AI trained on billions of transactions. Sidekick, your AI assistant, helps you accomplish tasks through simple conversational commands.

Sell Everywhere—Online and In Person

Reach customers wherever they shop. Your Shopify store integrates seamlessly with Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Google, Amazon, and other sales channels. Shopify POS unifies online and in-person sales, keeping inventory synchronized across all locations. Sell locally or globally with Shopify Markets, which handles international currencies, languages, shipping, and duties.

Flexible Pricing for Every Stage

Plans start at $24/month (Basic plan with annual billing) and scale to meet growing businesses. All plans include unlimited products, 24/7 support, abandoned cart recovery, discount codes, and SSL certificates. Higher tiers unlock advanced reporting, international selling features, and lower transaction fees. Enterprise customers can access Shopify Plus for high-volume businesses.

13,000+ Apps for Any Functionality

The massive Shopify App Store offers specialized tools for email marketing, SEO, reviews, subscriptions, dropshipping, print-on-demand, accounting, shipping, and virtually any ecommerce need. Popular apps include Klaviyo, Judge.me, Oberlo, ReCharge, and thousands more that integrate seamlessly with your store.

Professional Themes and Customization

Choose from 200+ professionally designed themes (free and premium options) that are mobile-responsive and customizable without coding. For complete control, developers can use Hydrogen, Shopify's headless commerce framework, to build fully custom storefronts while leveraging Shopify's powerful backend and checkout.

Built-In Marketing and Analytics

Integrated marketing tools help you acquire and retain customers cost-effectively. Run email campaigns, create automated workflows, retarget abandoned carts, offer customer loyalty programs, and manage social media advertising—all from the Shopify dashboard. Detailed analytics and reporting provide insights on sales, traffic, customer behavior, and marketing ROI.

Global Infrastructure and Reliability

Shopify's cloud infrastructure delivers your store within 50 milliseconds to any buyer worldwide. The platform handles massive traffic spikes (proven during Black Friday/Cyber Monday events), maintains 99.99% uptime, and includes enterprise-grade DDoS protection and security monitoring.

B2B and Wholesale Capabilities

Sell direct-to-consumer and wholesale from the same platform. Create customized B2B experiences with volume pricing, net payment terms, custom catalogs, and company-specific discounts—all managed through the same admin as your retail store.

Honest Limitations

While Shopify excels at commerce, it's not a full content management system like WordPress—blogging capabilities are basic. Transaction fees apply if you don't use Shopify Payments (varies by plan, 0.5-2%). Advanced customization requires technical knowledge or hiring a developer. Apps can add monthly costs. The platform optimizes for ease-of-use, which means less granular control compared to self-hosted solutions.
