Shopify is like a cloud-based ecommerce store platform used by businesses (and many entrepreneurs) to set up
online shop that can sell almost anything. You can visit the company site (www.shopify.in)
" HISTORY "
Shopify was a privately owned Canada-based ecommerce company located in Ottawa, Ontario, that developed and maintained
software to make it easy for online stores owners to sell their products on the web and via retail point-of-sale systems.
According to Wikipedia, he company was founded in 2004 by Tobias Lütke, Daniel Weinand, and Scott Lake after attempting
to open a store they called Snowdevil. The online shop was initially based on software written by the company
founders and became the basis for Shopify. The company says it has 377,500 merchants using its platform.
Total gross merchandise volume exceeded $15 billion.
Shopify went public on May 21, 2015 and is trades on the NYSE with the ticker symbol SHOP (info) and on the Toronto Stock
Exchange (TSE) with the symbol SH.
" Take Advantage Of Your Add-On Options "
Shopify’s Marketplace is packed with a whopping 1500+ add-ons. Because Shopify comes relatively light out-of-the-box,
you’ll likely need to add a few integrations. But with so many add-ons to choose from, you’re certain to find the
extensions you need.
In particular, you should look into incorporating a shipping software to beef up your order processing. Take a look at
my top recommendations for shipping software, or look at my abbreviated version below:
ShippingEasy: ShippingEasy lets you import orders, create shipments, and pay for and print postage. And fortunately,
it is indeed easy to use. View the ShippingEasy integration in Shopify’s Marketplace or read our full review.
Ordoro: Ordoro is a shipping solution that includes inventory management (if you choose to pay for it).
Customers are especially fond of Ordoro’s dropshipping features.
Take a look at the integration page in the Shopify Marketplace and read our review to learn more.
ShipStation: ShipStation is arguably the best-known shipping software on the market. It integrates with nearly all of
the most popular shopping carts and marketing software, and it’s relatively affordable. Once again, for the full
details, look at ShipStation’s page in Shopify’s Marketplace and take a look at our review.

Shopify Shipping: Shopify’s brand new shipping modules allows you to integrate with major shipping carriers
in order to calculate real-time shipping rates. You can purchase and print shipping labels directly from your admin panel.
You should note that this shipping module does not let you display calculated rates in your customers’ shopping carts.
Our full explanation of Shopping Shipping provides more information.
Dropshipping Apps: Shopify allows you to integrate with a handful of dropshipping applications, including Ordoro and Oberlo.
I have seen numerous reports of success with these applications in combination with Shopify.
Mobile Management: Shopify offers a mobile app, which lets you manage your store from anywhere.
Integrations With Amazon & eBay: Connect your Shopify account with two of the internet’s biggest marketplaces.
Process orders from all of your sales channels in Shopify. It should be noted that while we’re glad Shopify has bothered
to create these integrations, they have not garnered good reviews with Shopify’s user base. Read our article on the
two integrations to learn more.
How Do You Start With Shopify?
If you’re considering Shopify, take the first step to getting started and sign up for their 14-day free trial.
You won’t have to enter any credit card information to access the trial; they’ll just need you to submit contact
information and answer a few questions about your business.
During your trial, make sure to test every aspect of Shopify’s software. Add products, create marketing campaigns,
change your storefront design, and add on an application or two. Make sure Shopify can handle all of your daily
operations. Look for any advanced features you may need, like filtered search, abandoned cart notifications,
and pop-up promos.
Once you’re sure Shopify is the right choice for you, choose your appropriate pricing plan, and get moving.
If you didn’t already do so in your trial, you’ll need to begin by adding your company’s basic information.
Providing an accurate location will help estimate shipping rates and taxes.
Shopify fees are based on a subscription model. Prices start at around $10 per month for a small store with a limited
inventory, but they can be as high as several hundred dollars per month. The enterprise level subscription,
called Shopify Plus, costs thousands of dollars per month.
Most customers opt for the $29 or $79 per month subscription. If you use Shopify Payments to offer credit card
payments (recommend) then there is a fee assessed of 2.9% for each transaction, plus a flat fee of $0.30 per transaction.
This drops to 2.4% (plus $0.30 per sale) if you choose a more expensive monthly plan infromation by wikipiedia.
