Connecting web sales with existing operations has improved, but layout and integration need work
The most valuable features in Shopify are the ease of integration. The downside is that the layout is not adaptable as someone would expect. For some customers, Shopify is not a viable option because it is not adaptable enough. Adaptability is mostly related to the layout and specific things related to the business branch. I have not been a partner or reseller of Shopify. I belong to a company that delivers architects who help customers find the best product and support them in implementation. In many cases, it is not only software that needs to be installed; organizations also need to adapt. For instance, if you really want to sell through the web, you need to be capable of setting up an organization to deliver products the next day or faster. Many organizations are not capable of doing this, so they need to change procedures in their warehouses and sales operations. It is not only about the software.

Headless architecture has powered high‑traffic APIs and accelerated complex commerce projects
For Spryker Systems, there is one major issue I see. There are no peer groups or developer channels where we can post our problems. If we go with Magento and other frameworks, there are many developers available there. You can search on Google, and there are multiple solutions available. You can see the solution, apply it, and then determine if you are able to solve your problem. This type of community resource is missing in Spryker Systems, so they need to do a lot of work on their side. Some user-friendly features are missing in Spryker Systems. Right now, in the present release, they did some things, but they need to do much more from a normal user's point of view. Currently, Spryker Systems is only focused on developer points of view, such as how a developer can extend the functionality or inject functionality into the system. However, if we talk about default features, there are no features. For example, there is nothing for reporting, and if we go with the configuration, only basic configuration is available. No high-level or low-level configuration exists. For example, if we want to showcase something on the cart checkout page, you cannot simply go into the configuration and enable or disable things. These types of features are missing. If Spryker Systems works on these parts, then it is a very cool platform from a user's standpoint.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Shopify provides an easy to use service at the backend that includes product upload, customer service, team settings, and team customization."
"It has a brilliant inventory system to help you manage your store."
"Shopify is the best eCommerce platform on the market today."
"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."
"Shopify can be used without any coding knowledge."
"My advice for anybody who is considering Shopify is not to hesitate."
"Shopify is easy to start and has an intuitive onboarding process for customers."
"Over the last six months, I have found that Spryker Systems' composable commerce and integration capabilities have helped me because Spryker also has the capability with Docker."
"So far, as I could see, Spryker Systems is stable in my experience."
"If someone has a big product, then they can use Spryker Systems there, and if they do not want to lose customers' sessions or lose their customers, then Spryker Systems is a viable option."
"From an extensive point of view or for a large project point of view, Spryker Systems is the best platform right now."
"Spryker Systems has had a positive impact on my company because we were able to generate a significant revenue increase in our e-commerce area."
"Spryker Systems is very useful as we can use it as a user interface and as an entire ERP or CRM system."
"The platform's composability is valuable as it provides a variety of extensions to interface with other solutions."
 

Cons

"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."
"For some customers, Shopify is not a viable option because it is not adaptable enough."
"If you consider an enterprise-level application with a lot of customization, Shopify can be problematic to use."
"A mobile app for end users should be integrated along with Shopify, rather than as an add-on product."
"The order processing and saving of the changes for the product should have automatic functioning."
"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."
"The formatting within the user interface has its limitations."
"Spryker Systems could be improved if we can reduce the complexity level."
"Spryker, even with its native features, often requires some development and configuration into the code, which is not straightforward in the beginning."
"In Spryker Systems, the main issue is that connectivity is too difficult. If I want to make a small change, I have to pass code through three layers: Zed, Yves, and middleware."
"In my opinion, there are no best features on Spryker Systems. It is a very complex system that uses hexagonal architecture and is very complicated."
"Spryker Systems is a good company with good customer support. However, there are also problems and setbacks from time to time."
"For Spryker Systems, there is one major issue I see. There are no peer groups or developer channels where we can post our problems."
"When we build a Spryker Systems application in our local environment, it is really painful as it takes a long time, and the build requires a high-configuration system to become executable in our local environment."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They have various plans including ones that are priced at $29 per month, $79 per month, and can go up to $300 per month."
"Depending on the client's requirements, they can choose either the basic plan or the premium plan."
"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."
"The tool's pricing depends on how big your online store is."
