Problems with Shopify
No Facebook store– Shopify has a full featured Facebook store now get it free at https://apps.shopify.com/facebook-storeNo email marketing integration, you have to manually embed signup forms into your template– From Shopify: All themes are required to have an email sign-up form or they are not allowed in the theme store. These must be accessible by theme settings. – Brilliant, I love this requirement. Do a happy danceNo Gift certificates or wish lists– Fixed in 2014 http://www.shopify.com/blog/10096333-introducing-gift-cards-for-shopify#axzz2pehkD5N8 and https://apps.shopify.com/wishlist-followupVery limited shipping support– Still only FedEx, USPS & UPS but there is a generic carrier you can use if you want to connect to something else like Australia Post, Royal Mail, Canada Post- No product sub-categories.
i’m not saying Shopify is without it’s problem’s jus that since this Shopify Review was first created Shopify have worked hard to fix them – I know, it’s pretty cool.

Recently moved from Volusion to Shopify (with cart2cart). And Shopify seems to meet my needs much better – it has less features but design and simplicity in use covers that. Great solution!
