Another attractive feature of Shopify is that it has a built-in "cart abandonment prevention" feature. This kind of marketing can also be promoted through the admin panel of your e-commerce site

*Abandoned cart prevention: For users who add items to their cart but leave the site without purchasing, we encourage them to make a purchase by sending them emails or issuing discount coupons within the emails

 Disadvantages of Shopify

There are many advantages, but of course there are also disadvantages

1.  Most of the apps are in English
2. Be careful about adding many apps (many of them are paid apps)
3. Some functions cannot be achieved even with external apps

The majority of apps are in English, which can make them difficult for Japanese people to use. Also, although there are many apps available, not all functions can be covered by apps
