Shopify is a B2C e-commerce application. Shopify was basically useful for one of our company's clients who dealt with home appliance products that were sold online. My company created an end-to-end application for our client's e-commerce application, including all the products and coupons along with a proper template design and everything, which was not a big deal for our company since we already had template designs readily available to us which had to be just integrated into the system. There were not many customizations required when using Shopify, except for a few minor areas for which my company used the plug-in options available in the market. In one of the fashion design projects my company dealt with for Shopify, we had to design the templates for our client and then integrate them with Shopify, which was a simple process.
I use Shopify for my clients' e-commerce needs, but it varies based on what each client wants. Some prefer a Shopify website, while others opt for a WordPress-based solution for their e-commerce.
We are the dealers and distributors of premium brands and cater to small and medium-sized businesses along with other customers. We use the platform to sell products through our E-commerce store. The platform provides us with all the necessary integration facilities for sale.

I have my own group of Shopify developers and we create Shopify stores for our clients. We also handle maintenance, fix bugs, and do whatever it is that they need. I have a partner account, which enables me to create the stores for my clients.
I used to use WordPress but when Shopify came out, I switched. I am very thorough with most of their apps — standard apps like Metafields Guru and Shopify integration. I also did a two-way integration between Shopify and ActiveCampaign. Currently, only one-way synchronization is available from Shopify to TickPick, but I created an API that also transfers data from ActiveCampaign to Shopify. In other words, I know Shopify, inside and out. Most of my clients prefer a themed store. They come to us with specific requirements, saying "I have a hundred products. Here are the categories and payment methods I want to use." Our clients often have requirements involving branding elements, such as colors, logos, and particular fonts. I then suggest a suitable theme and once they approve it, I get to work customizing it. I customize a theme to match the clients' desired look and feel — I ensure all of the elements and the colors and in place. With Shopify, almost everything is already pre-built, like payment gateways; there are already payment methods integrated. All the customer needs to do is just put in their credential and they're ready to go — no additional apps or platforms necessary. UPS shipping methods as well as other third-party methods are already integrated. Again, all the customer needs to do is just put in their credentials. Theme customization is mostly the work that I do on a daily basis. Sometimes a client will have a specific requirement that requires me to use a Bold app. A Bold app allows the user to define currencies, so the client can have their own price defined that is not auto-calculated by a currency calculator. If a client has a particular requirement involving currency, then I use a Bold application to configure it. In terms of customization, recently, I had a client who sells custom shirts. When his customers go to his product page, they can pick a color from various colored shirts. From there, we can customize even more, including color shades, collar types, cuff types, button types, fabric preferences, etc. This is referred to as an accordion model. My client wanted the selection page layout to be step-by-step, beginning with the color selection first. After a color has been chosen, the color tab closes and another tab opens for fabric selection, followed by collar-style, and so on, and so on — like an accordion. When you choose a particular style, it appears as an image so the customer can actually visualize how the customized shirt will look. We're talking about some serious customization that we do.
