What makes Shopify different
With thousands of engineers, Shopify is shipping hundreds of annual commerce updates—from integrating AI to offering omnichannel selling tools. Compare platforms and pricing to see if Shopify is right for you.
Manage your way
Run your business, your way
Get an online store that’s well designed, fully customizable, and can run your back office with ease.
The appeal of Shopify is the analytics behind it. If it were a small online shopping business run by a personal store, a cart system other than Shopify would be fine, but this e-commerce site is one of the pillars of the business, so Shopify's extensive analytics functions from a marketing perspective were appealing.
Sell more
Sell in Japan and around the globe
Install shipping apps to deliver door to door, across Japan, and around the world. You can even customize your online store to sell in different regions, with different languages, and currencies.
Scale without compromise
Keep more money in your pocket
Save on total cost of ownership and get a higher return on investment while scaling—without compromising your bottom line. And never pay extra to list more products on Shopify for the same monthly price plan you sign up for.
Transfer your data
Migrate your way
There are tons of ways to migrate your data to Shopify. Choose the one that works for you based on your business needs.
