Shopify
Shopify is a hosted e-commerce platform that lets businesses run an online store, including products, checkout, payments, and inventory, without managing their own servers.
Shopify handles hosting, security, and payment processing, which makes it a practical choice for businesses that want to sell online without maintaining infrastructure. Stores are customized through themes written in Shopify's Liquid templating language and extended with apps.
Custom Shopify work usually involves theme changes, custom sections, and integrations with other tools. As with WordPress plugins, too many apps can slow a store down.
