Oh boy, where to start. In short Shopify gives the power back to you, the merchant. Other platforms are usually very complicated and will require an expensive to do the smallest thing such as uploading a new product, changing a text, or uploading an image.  With Shopify you can do the day to day by yourself and instead focus your budget on the fun stuff of e-commerce. Such as expanding to new markets or creating new beautiful sections. The possibilities are endless with Shopify, while the headache never ends when you’re on other platforms.
