There are an abundance of guides out there that compare ecommerce platforms. Most provide little insight by people who haven't used the software.

By default, if you haven't done much in ecommerce before, Shopify will be the best for you: https://www.shopify.com.au/compare. It's simplicity and ability to expand to meet your needs, sees complete newbies love it and large brands stand by it.

Even you don't have deep technical or design skills, you can easily start to build your online stores and sell products with Shopify. I can point out some outstanding advantages for you below
