What is Shopify?
A hosted ecommerce platform that handles the shop, payments and hosting in one place. Right for stores that want to sell quickly and reliably without running their own servers.
Shopify is a platform for running an online shop, where the hosting, the security, the checkout and the payments are all handled for you. You pay a monthly subscription and, depending on how you take payments, fees on each sale.
Its appeal is reliability without the technical burden. There are no servers to maintain and no software updates to worry about, the checkout is well tested, and it copes with busy periods without falling over. For a business that wants to sell rather than manage a website, that counts for a lot.
The trade-off is control. Shopify decides how some things work, including parts of how pages are addressed, and extra features usually come from paid apps that add to the monthly cost. It is an excellent fit for most shops and a poorer one for businesses that need something unusual. We set out why it suits many Irish sellers in why choose Shopify in Ireland.
