I didn't intend to imply anything of the sort. I gather from your response including Amazon you might have a different perspective.
I'm interested in sales platforms for small business retail. Platforms which let business owners put a store on the web and maintain their own website design. Shopify's turn-key solution lets you have a stores without all of the Platform cruff. You can seel goods on Amazon, but you're just a another 'seller' under the branding of Amazon.com (unless there is another competing service I'm unaware of).
Personally, I get to see a lot of small businesses from the Admin side. And Shopify's partner platform is one of the most robust. Pricing is competitive (for the businesss) and they're very developer friendly.
No. I really like Shopify, and I was curious why others _like_ it so much.
haha. I understand where you might default to thinking I'm suspicious. We're all suspicious. And I see a lot of businesses who go full-in on a platform (POS, online retail) and when it comes to getting financial reports or API access you might want, they are unhelpful and very costly. (Don't get me started on Third-Party Online Ordering Services like DoorDash or Ubereats).
