[Introduction] For those who want to start Shopify with zero knowledge!

Number of apps on Shopify

There are many apps available in Shopify's app store.

Below is the actual number of apps. You can see that apps of various genres are available in the store.

As you can see from the graph, there are an increasing number of apps that help improve store design and sales promotion.

For example, store design allows you to customize pop-up notifications and cart screens.

For sales promotions, there are apps that can create discount coupon codes or give gift cards.

Compare domestic online shops

Let's compare domestic online shops and Shopify.

It is obvious that there are many types of foreign language support and site designs that I mentioned in the advantages of Shopify.

Another attractive feature of Shopify is its ability to prevent carts from being dropped. This kind of marketing aspect can also be promoted on the management screen of the e-commerce site.

*Countermeasures against abandoned carts: For users who have added items to their carts but left the site without purchasing, we will send them an email or issue a discount coupon in the email. Increase purchasing intent.

 Disadvantages of Shopify

Although there are many advantages, there are of course disadvantages as well.

1.  Most apps are in English
2. Be careful about adding too many apps (many of them are paid apps)
3. There are some functions that cannot be achieved using external apps.

Since the majority of apps are in English, it may be a little difficult for us Japanese people to use them. Also, although there are many apps, not all functions can be supplemented by apps.

 Who should use Shopify?

Based on the advantages and disadvantages mentioned above, if you fall into the following three categories, you should definitely use Shopify!

The first one is "those who want to sell overseas".

It is said that there are four barriers to overseas sales.

The four are "language," "payment," "shipping," and "currency."

Shopify easily solves these four problems.

The second one is "those who want to create an EC site full of originality".

Compared to other e-commerce site platforms, Shopify is superior in terms of design types and functionality.

The third one is "those who want to start a full-fledged e-commerce business."

Data analysis is easy as it is equipped with many analysis functions such as ``Cart Dropped Countermeasure'', ``Number of Sessions'', ``CV Rate'', and ``Repeat Rate'' as mentioned above
