Why We'll Always Recommend Shopify (And Why You Should Be On It)

We'll say it until we're blue in the face: if you sell products, you should be on Shopify!

We've built on a lot of platforms over the years, and when it comes to eCommerce, nothing else comes close. Whether you're setting up your store yourself or working with us to build something custom, Shopify gives product based businesses the ability to sell more, work less, and grow without hitting a ceiling like other platforms.

Here's why we're such big fans.

1. Shop Pay makes checkout ridiculously easy

Checkout is where sales are won or lost. Every extra field, every "wait, where's my card," every slow loading page is another chance for a customer to bail ✌️ It's not your fault, we humans get distracted easily! But it's another reason that your checkout process needs to be as frictionless as possible.

You know when you go to check out online and they already know your shipping, billing address, and card info? Yeah, that's Shop Pay. It's the best thing to happen to product based businesses since the internet!

Customers who've used Shop Pay anywhere can check out in just a tap or two, with their shipping and payment info already saved. It's considered one of the highest converting checkout experiences online, and that makes sense because when buying is easier, more people buy.

2. Your customers can shop straight from Instagram + Facebook

Your audience is already scrolling. Why make them leave the app to find your products?

Shopify integrates directly with Meta, so you can tag products in your Instagram posts, stories, and on Facebook. Someone sees your product, taps it, and they're on their way to checkout. It turns your content into a storefront without any extra work on your end.

Just another way to get your products in front of your clients! 🤌🏼

3. Rewards programs, automations, + so much more

Want to reward your loyal customers? Shopify can do that. Want to automate follow up emails, offer subscriptions, collect reviews, or run a referral program? Shopify can do that too 🤑

With thousands of apps and integrations in their app store, you can add just about any feature your business needs, and automate the parts of selling that used to eat up your time. Even things you hadn't even realized!

4. Edit products in minutes, not hours

This is one of our absolute favorite things about Shopify, and it's one people glaze over.

On a lot of other platforms, updating products means clicking into each one individually. Price change? Update them one by one. New tags? One by one. Inventory adjustments? You guessed it 🫠

Shopify's bulk editor lets you update your entire catalog at once. Things like updating descriptions, ingredients, inventory, and everything in between. When you have ten products, that's nice. When you have a hundred, it's a total game changerrrr. Now go sneak in some r&r with the time you got back!

5. Shipping is simple as cake

Shipping doesn't have to be a headache. With Shopify, you can see all the rates across major carriers like USPS, UPS, FedEx, and DHL, buy discounted labels, and print them, all in one spot. If you're not on Shopify, you've probably heard of or are using Pirateship. Shopify is so much easier, our clients agree 😜

6. Built in ways to boost every order

Getting a customer to buy is great. Getting them to add one more thing to their cart? Even better.

Shopify makes upselling easy with features like:

• Post purchase offers that show up right after checkout, when customers are most likely to say yes
• "Frequently bought together" recommendations that suggest products others have bought
• Quick add-to-cart buttons everywhere, including in the cart itself

These small touches add up to bigger average order values without feeling pushy to your customers.

In Summary

Shopify is built for businesses that sell products, whether they are physical, digital, or done through drop shipping. It makes buying easy for your customers and running a store easy for you. Not to mention, you won't outgrow it like other platforms! (cough, cough looking at you Wix)
