Ease of use

Zach offers the ease of use as his number one reason why people should use Shopify.  If a vendor starts putting together a store and runs into nothing but complications then trouble will ensue for that client being long-term committed.  Another option for ease of use would be buyers purchasing from the Shopify platform which is also very easy to accomplish on their platform.  Thus from vendor to buyer Shopify makes your buying experience a breeze.

Ease of use

Michael also suggests that the first reason local businesses should use Shopify for their storefront activity boils down to ease of use.  If something is easy to use both by visitor and vendor it is more likely to receive long-term support from everyone involved.  Having had my own experience with various platforms, I personally would put my vote in for ease of use as I found it much less complicated than other available e-commerce store-front options.

Support is available 24 by 7

A product is only as good as the support it provides.  In the case of Shopify that support is available 24 by 7. However, have you ever tried to get support only to be unable to understand the person on the other end of the line or their responses being flat out unusable?  I have and its no fun.  With Shopify, you can experience high-class support from people that really know the product.  I know, I have.  Sometimes the hold time to speak to a rep can be a bit longer which is why they also offer web support opportunities.
