Though the tool's users experience a return on investment, the runtime reliability needs improvement
Fabric Commerce Platform serves as a B2B marketplace. The tools serve as a marketplace for physical products for B2B activities, including wholesale. It is not a typical e-commerce platform Fabric Commerce Platform is used in my company to create modules as it is a PIM software in our company's…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution's most valuable feature stems from its usefulness as a PIM software, CMS, and storefront."
"Shopify can be used without any coding knowledge."
"Shopify provides an easy to use service at the backend that includes product upload, customer service, team settings, and team customization."
"The most valuable feature is its strong SEO capabilities."
"The solution is highly customizable for our store’s e-commerce needs. We don't need to write any code as all the required features are already inbuilt. The front end can be easily customized. Moreover, this tool offers built-in integrations with payment gateway, messaging services like SMS and email, and logistics integration."
"It has a brilliant inventory system to help you manage your store."
"If you have a physical business, like a shop on the street, and you want to take it online but don't know how to do it, you have a couple of options. You could contact a developer or set up an account on Shopify and create your online store there."
"The product has a few free-to-use features. It is easy to navigate and has good visuals as well."
"For the initial setup phase, many online tutorials are available, making the process easy."
 

Cons

"The runtime reliability of the system is a little bit challenging."
"If you consider an enterprise-level application with a lot of customization, Shopify can be problematic to use."
"There are some areas where improvements could be made. Currently, the platform only supports three product variants, and having the option for more variants would be beneficial. Additionally, we have to rely on external plugins for reviews and ratings, which could be more convenient if they were built-in."
"Previously, Shopify had a limitation of 200 product variations, which posed a challenge for businesses with multiple product options like different colors and sizes. However, they have increased this limit to 1,000 variations, greatly improving the platform's functionality. Besides that, I don't see any major issues that need improvement."
"The order processing and saving of the changes for the product should have automatic functioning."
"Many of our clients complain because it's costly and not an open-source."
"I have many clients that want to sell their products to the wholesale market, and Shopify currently does not have that kind of feature."
"I would like to see a feature that allows us to access all of the platforms in Shopify, like Facebook and Instagram messages, so we can easily reply to connect to our customers."
"It could benefit from improving its user-friendliness for non-coders, perhaps by offering easier template-building options."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't think our company uses enough functionalities of Fabric Commerce Platform. I think that tool offers a better value proposition for B2C models."
"The pricing of the solution is economical. The enterprise version is more expensive, however, we do not use it. We pay for the license on a monthly basis and there are payment gateway charges associated with transactions, typically around two percent or as applicable."
"This is the only platform to enforce its own transaction fee unless you use Shopify Payments Content, which doesn’t automatically reformat when you switch themes."
"They have various plans including ones that are priced at $29 per month, $79 per month, and can go up to $300 per month."
"The tool's pricing depends on how big your online store is."
"Depending on the client's requirements, they can choose either the basic plan or the premium plan."
