5 Reasons Why Shopify is the Best e-Commerce CMS in the World The crux of any successful e-commerce CMS is, of course, its ease of use (for the owner of the site and the users on the site). However, at the same time, it has to offer extensive management features and functions so that the admin team can focus on their strengths and can concentrate on what they do best: sell! Shopify has been consistently ranked among the top e-commerce CMS platforms in the world for a while now. It’s one of the only content management systems that are popular among all industries and has the quickest launch time in online shopping. In this article, we are going to explore why Shopify is arguably the best e-commerce platform in the world right now, and for the foreseeable future. So, without further ado, let’s begin! 1.Products, Orders, Customers: Shopify Offers Everything at a Glance When it comes to online shopping, everything revolves around the product or the service you sell, and that’s what you have your online shop for: to offer your product/your service a stage. Your customers sit in the audience and choose when to stand up, make a comment, buy a product, ask a question, etc… If you have convinced someone with your beautiful website that your product is worth their hard-earned dollars, you can make a sale and, at the same time, also receive new, valuable information about your product and your customers. With Shopify, you not only have a tool to sell your products but also to process your orders and manage your customers. It informs you about all the orders and you can view and process them individually or in groups. You can keep customers informed through the simple integration of fulfillment or a parcel service provider. Additionally, Shopify automatically evaluates the information on the behavior of your customers. This way, you have all the information at hand to continuously optimize your shop and communicate with your clients. By minimizing the administrative effort, you can enjoy more of your free time or use the extensive information for new campaigns to grow your company.
2. Easily Allows You to Define All the Important Settings With Shopify, you can define which countries you want to deliver to, set dynamic shipping costs and connect several payment service providers with one click of the mouse. This ensures that purchases are not abandoned due to errors or confusion. While almost all the e-commerce CMS platforms offer this functionality, none of them do it better and easier than Shopify! It’s by far, the easiest back-end to use and is clearly defined and organized to make things smoother for even a layperson with no technical background or previous experience. 3. Calculates Correct Taxes Automatically As soon as a customer wants to complete their purchase and enters their address, Shopify automatically calculates the correct tax rate based on their shipping address without you having to manually feed it. So simple! This way, Shopify also defines specific shipping scenarios quite conveniently: a customer from abroad will not be able to choose national shipping and you, as a seller, won’t have to worry about the logistics of your orders from the user end. 4. Instantly Sets Shipping Methods for National and International Orders After your customer has decided on a shipping method, you can easily offer them a variety of payment options through Shopify. Shopify has pre-defined integration for PayPal, credit card service providers and many other providers which can be set up in just a few clicks. The more payment options you offer, the higher the probability that the customer will complete their order, and Shopify offers them all! All of this is packed for you in intuitive input fields, peppered with extensive usage instructions. This way, you can very conveniently minimize your efforts and the rate of canceled orders. 5. Free and Paid Themes
Obviously, the way your e-commerce website looks is important. You know what they say about first impressions? Well, on a website, it’s even more important! Shopify has FREE themes and also offers some paid ones (approximately USD 180). One of the amazing things is that you test/demo a lot of themes before you buy them. This is very cool and uncommon in the web development industry. Shopify’s free themes are solid and work well. Paid themes will offer you more variation, a few more options for customization, and most likely a richer customer experience.
