Shopify is easy to set up if you have limited technical knowledge. However, if your site requires a high level of customisation, Shopify presents a few limitations.

• Shopify is a SaaS eCommerce platform meaning that you cannot edit the website’s code for a customised interface beyond the templates.
• Shopify charges a transaction fee for each sale in addition to a third-party transaction fee if you use a different payment gateway.
• There are some additional recurring cost involved if you plan to use Shopify Apps from the rich Shopify Marketplace to enable advanced features which does not come out of the box.
