Shopify is the platform of choice for many business owners. Shopify was developed after the founders wanted to set up an online shop selling snowboarding equipment. Quickly realising there wasn’t a platform that gave them features and funcutality they wanted in their store, they decided to develop their own platform, and it has been developed even further, to the platform it is today.
So why choose Shopify?
Join over 4 million Shopify Store Owners
The numbers speak for themselves. You’ll join a community of over 4,000,000 other Shopify store owners who have chosen the Shopify platform to run their eCommerce business. Not only this, Shopify has over a million active users and boasts over $590 billion in sales through the platform. Sounds like a successful, popular platform to me.
Everything In One Place
One of the massive benefits of choosing Shopify is that it has everything you need to successfully run an eCommerce business in one place. From simple design, payment gateways, security, analytics and so much more. Everything you need is on the system to make your store a success. 24/7 support is also available, so you’re safe in the knowledge that if you’re stuck then there’s always somebody on hand ready to help you.
Easy To Use
Shopify has been developed so it’s easy to use. You can easily set up an eCommerce store in minutes! You don’t need to know how to code or have technical skills. Beginners to website design will feel welcome using this platform. But don’t let that put you off if, you are an expert, there are hundreds of apps and features you can use to enhance your shop and give you all the functionality you need.

Shopify uses and a drag-and-drop store builder, and you also have many different Shopify themes to choose from off the shelf, so you can easily get set up. You can use customise colours, fonts, imagery and much more in a matter of minutes to make the theme unique to your business.
