Shopify is the gold standard for a reason: it just works. While platforms like WooCommerce offer more 'freedom,' they also offer more opportunities to break your site at 2 AM. Shopify’s recent pivot to 'AI-first' with Shopify Magic is genuinely impressive for small teams. It turns a four-hour product upload session into a twenty-minute review task. However, don't be fooled by the 'Sidekick' marketing into thinking the AI will run the business for you. It’s a powerful intern, not a CEO. You still need to own the strategy. If you're starting out, stick to the Basic plan and be extremely disciplined about which apps you install—that's where most entrepreneurs bleed cash unnecessarily.

Ofte stilte spørsmål

Is Shopify's AI content actually good for SEO?+
It's a solid starting point, but it tends to be generic. Shopify Magic is great for getting the 'bones' of a product description down, but you need to inject your brand voice and specific keywords manually if you want to rank on the first page of Google.
Can I use Shopify without paying transaction fees?+
Only if you use Shopify Payments as your gateway. If you insist on using an external provider like PayPal or a specific bank gateway, Shopify will charge you an additional fee (between 0.5% and 2% depending on your plan) on every transaction.
Do I need a developer to set up Shopify?+
No. For 95% of businesses, the drag-and-drop 'Online Store 2.0' themes are enough. You only need a developer if you want highly custom functionality or a 'headless' commerce setup.
Is Shopify Plus worth the jump?+
Only once you’re doing over £1M–£2M in annual revenue. The jump from £344/month to roughly £2,000/month is steep. You do it for the lower transaction rates and the ability to customise the checkout, not just for the 'status'.
How does the AI image editor compare to Photoshop?+
For simple background removal or adding a clean white background, it's excellent and saves hours. For creative 'lifestyle' shots, it's still a bit hit-and-miss. It won't replace a professional photographer for your hero images yet.
