I’ve very much enjoyed the process of designing my site and was surprised by a few things that made it easy. To be sure, it’s a learning curve and a lot of effort! However, it would be much more difficult to accomplish what I wanted to without Shopify. Here are a just a few of the ‘simple’ things that some may take for granted but that I found unbelievably convenient:

  • Discounts! The options make it possible to do what once would have taken huge amounts of work in just a few seconds.
  • Content editing right within my admin dashboard. Adding a transparent background to my image at the touch of a button? Technology has advance so far so quickly!
  • General organization. Once one learns one’s way around, it all makes sense for inventory/product management.

Cheers, team. Keep up the good work.

Hello there @h00sha welcome to the community and I’m glad to see you’re doing well so far, it will only get better from here :rocket: . Your first point in particular is honestly one of the best things about Shopify. There’s really no other e-commerce platform that makes discounts, bundles, subscriptions, and loyalty packages as easily accessible and usable as Shopify does with the help of its features and tools.

Agreed! Here’s a helpful article I wrote if you’re looking for guidance on inventory and product management.
