Review of Shopify Hosted Ecommerce Shopping Cart

[Steferner]

E-Junkie.com is an alternative, charging a monthly flat rate fee beginning at $5 per month, and it's super user friendly.
Also, there's a free service created by the developers of E-Junkie, FatFreeCart.com for the more technologically savvy who don't need all the bells and whistles E-Junkie provides.

Another look at Shopify:

PeC: What do you think are Shopify’s weaknesses?

Wilson: The obvious weaknesses I saw were the limits on what they called ‘enterprise’ level offering of only 10,000 SKUs. The other major weakness is the product is built using Ruby On Rails. Ruby On Rails seems to be a development environment with a lot of future possibilities, but as a general rule you don’t want your revenue-generating product to be based on cutting edge technology. There’s a lot of unforeseeable pitfalls in that area.

PeC: Other thoughts for our readers about Shopify?

Wilson: Generally speaking 10,000 SKU’s is not a big database, so why is there such a low ceiling? What is that also indicative of as far as database limitations? That combined with the product being Ruby On Rails would personally lead me to the conclusion that it’s not ready for prime time.
