Shopify needs no introduction. Since its founding in 2006, the platform has become the leading online store builder. Its name is dropped in nearly every eCommerce article, and for a good reason – Shopify makes selling online simple. Its many in-built features guarantee newbie sellers have all they need to build a successful business.
However, the platform famously has one downside. There comes the point that Shopify’s infrastructure no longer allows as much scalability and customization as your business might like. While you can extend Shopify with plugins, the speed of your site gets bogged down, and there’s little you can do to address the issue.
