Built fully customizable

Pick from over 70 no-code themes or create your own. Transfer your domain and customize your checkout, product pages, and more with simple, easy-to-use tools.

The appeal of Shopify is the analytics behind it. If it were a small online shopping business run by a personal store, a cart system other than Shopify would be fine, but this e-commerce site is one of the pillars of the business, so Shopify's extensive analytics functions from a marketing perspective were appealing.
