This article will be a full review of this successful eCommerce making site called Shopify. We will learn and compare their plans and features which we are getting from them.

First of all, before I tell you about their detailed features and plans; I should include one thing, that they are having 14 days free trial version on their each plan.

2) Shopify – Basic Plan:
From this plan, you will get the online store facility. You can create your own website and blog and it will definitely cut down your budget for taking hosting outside. And not only that, it will also be a very good option in terms of security. Shopify uses best networks, servers as well global CDN, which in return will ensure your eCommerce site more fast and reliable.
You can use and point your own domain to your Shopify store. You are allowed to use your existing domain. And if you want to purchase a new domain they can help you on that also.

Real-time carrier shipping: In Real-time carrier shipping features, you can get lost of help. With the help of this feature you can ask for exact fare calculations which will be genuinely applicable for those particular orders as per their destinations, by applying the carrier-calculated shipping rate. Not only that you can also select a good and reputed carrier company who will deliver your goods to the customers.
Search Engine Optimization & Promotion:
And lastly, I will say about the awesome SEO features of Shopify which you will get in all the above 4 plans. You will get editable title tags, with Meta descriptions and URLs for your pages. You can also able to edit and adjust ALT tags for all your images. The image name is also customizable. Your store will include automatically generated sitemap.xml and robots.txt files. Shopify also automatically generate canonical URL tags for each page to prevent duplicate content.
I have also done many market reviews and also reviewed many websites running in Shopify. In each case, the SEO part is always the out of the box and you cannot complain anything about it. Also in a recent online eCommerce meetup, I have discussed the same with the SEO department of Complete Web Resources. They are also amazed by the inbuilt SEO options of Shopify.
