Shopify : FAQ

What is Shopify and what is it used for?

Shopify is an online platform that makes it easy to create an e-commerce store. It's called a CMS, which stands for Content Management System. It's online software that allows you to create and manage your website (in this case, your e-commerce website for the Shopify CMS).

You can sell physical or digital products, manage your orders, payments, and deliveries, all from a single dashboard. No technical knowledge is required; everything is ready to use.

Is Shopify only an e-commerce CMS?

The Shopify CMS is clearly designed for online commerce. That's where it excels. But you can also add a few classic pages (home, about, contact, blog, etc.).

That said, if your main goal isn't to sell online, you're better off with another CMS such as WordPress.

Why choose Shopify to create an online store?

Shopify saves a lot of time. The interface is intuitive, everything is optimized for fast sales, and you don't have to worry about hosting, security, or updates. It's a reliable, turnkey solution with good support and lots of apps to add features to your store.

What is the difference between Shopify and WooCommerce?

It would take pages and pages to compare these two online store creation and management tools. But I'll keep it short. Shopify is an all-in-one hosted solution, while WooCommerce is a plugin that you add to WordPress.

With Shopify, everything is centralized and easier to manage, but you are dependent on their system. With WooCommerce, you have more freedom, but you are responsible for hosting, backups, security, etc. Shopify is often preferred by those who want to get started quickly, while WooCommerce is preferred by those who want a 100% customized site.

Is Shopify an open-source CMS?

No, unlike WordPress or PrestaShop, Shopify is not an open-source CMS. It is a proprietary solution, which means that the code does not belong to you and you cannot modify it freely.

In exchange, everything is taken care of for you: hosting, security, updates,etc. It's easier to manage, but a little less flexible than a solution like WordPress with WooCommerce.

What features does Shopify offer?

Shopify offers all the features you need to sell online: product management, order management, payments, shipping, promo codes, sales tracking, customer profiles, and more.

There is also an easy-to-use dashboard, built-in marketing tools, apps to add options, and even solutions for selling in person with Shopify POS.

Are there plugins on Shopify like on WooCommerce?

On the Shopify CMS, we talkabout apps rather than plugins, but the principle is the same. You have an app store with hundreds of tools to add features: customer reviews, upsells, abandoned cart reminders, integration with marketing tools, etc.

Some apps are free, others require a monthly subscription. Our Shopify experts are here to help you install and configure the apps you need.

Can I integrate a blog into my Shopify store?

You can add a blog section to your store. It's not as comprehensive as WordPress, but it's more than enough to publish articles, improve your SEO, and create content around your products. It's a good idea if you want to attract organic traffic to your store.

What types of products can you sell with Shopify?

With Shopify, you can sell almost anything: physical products, digital products, services, subscriptions, and even print-on-demand items. The platform is flexible enough to adapt to all sales models, whether in stock, pre-order, or dropshipping.

Can you sell physical products on Shopify?

Shopify is designed for this. You can easily manage a catalog of physical products, inventory, shipping, variants (size, color, etc.), shipping costs, and even connect your store to a logistics tool if needed.

Does Shopify allow dropshipping?

Shopify is one of the most popular platforms for dropshipping. There are apps like DSers and Zendrop that allow you to connect your store to suppliers. You can import products, automate orders, and manage everything from the Shopify interface.

Can you sell digital products or services through Shopify?

Yes, you can. For digital products, simply add an app such as Digital Downloads to send files automatically after payment. And for services, you can disable delivery and use your store as a booking or direct sales system.

How much does Shopify cost (subscription and transaction fees)?

Shopify subscriptions start at $36/month for the basic plan (prices vary by country and currency). Shopify also takes a commission on each sale if you don't use their payment solution (Shopify Payments). Fees vary depending on the plan you choose, but you should factor them into your pricing strategy.

Do you need to know how to code to use Shopify?

You don't need to know how to code to use Shopify on a daily basis. Everything is designed so that you can manage your store on your own. That said, a Shopify developer can take things further: theme customization, adding specific features, technical optimization, and more. If you have an ambitious project, this is a real plus.

On this page, you'll find our freelance Shopify specialists to help you with your projects.

Can I completely customize the design of my Shopify store?

The CMS offers a great deal of freedom to customize the design of your store. You can choose a theme from their catalog (free or paid), change colors, fonts, sections, etc. And if you want to go further, a Shopify developer can work directly on the code to tailor every detail to your brand image.

Above, you will find web designers who specialize in Shopify to create an incredible Shopify site for you.

Can Shopify be connected to an email marketing system (e.g., Klaviyo, Mailchimp)?

Shopify integrates very easily withemail marketing tools such as Klaviyo, Mailchimp, Brevo (formerly Sendinblue), and ActiveCampaign. You can automatically sync your contacts, segment your customers, send newsletters, or set up automations based on purchasing behavior.

How can I automate confirmation or abandoned cart emails on Shopify?

Shopify already handles transactional emails such as order and shipping confirmations. For abandoned cart reminders, you can enable a native option in the settings. And if you want more advanced scenarios, tools such as Klaviyo or Shopify Email allow you to create highly targeted automations.

How can I improve the SEO of a Shopify store?

To improve your Shopify store's SEO, you can optimize titles, meta tags, URLs, alternative text on images, and write detailed product descriptions. It's also recommended to create a blog to attract organic traffic. SEO apps can help you optimize everything more easily, but the most important thing is the quality of your content and the structure of your site.

In addition to finding developers and web designers, you will find Shopify SEO experts above.

Is Shopify well suited for international sales?

Shopify is a great solution for selling internationally. You can manage multiple currencies, multiple languages, set up specific shipping zones, and even adjust taxes by country.

Native features and apps allow you to translate your store and tailor the experience based on the visitor's location.
