MiguelPinilla - PeerSpot reviewer
Though the tool's users experience a return on investment, the runtime reliability needs improvement
Functionality-wise, I would say that Fabric Commerce Platform has to have more sophisticated pricing algorithms specific to B2B and B2C in a pretty simple manner to make sure that you have a product and its price. B2B pricing depends on factors like transportation and a bunch of other parameters. The runtime reliability of the system is a little bit challenging.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution's most valuable feature stems from its usefulness as a PIM software, CMS, and storefront."
"Shopify can be used without any coding knowledge."
"Shopify is easy to start and has an intuitive onboarding process for customers."
"It has a brilliant inventory system to help you manage your store."
"Shopify provides an easy to use service at the backend that includes product upload, customer service, team settings, and team customization."
"I would absolutely recommend Shopify to others."
"The most valuable feature is its strong SEO capabilities."
"For the initial setup phase, many online tutorials are available, making the process easy."
"The product has a few free-to-use features. It is easy to navigate and has good visuals as well."
 

Cons

"The runtime reliability of the system is a little bit challenging."
"I would like to see a feature that allows us to access all of the platforms in Shopify, like Facebook and Instagram messages, so we can easily reply to connect to our customers."
"Many of our clients complain because it's costly and not an open-source."
"It could benefit from improving its user-friendliness for non-coders, perhaps by offering easier template-building options."
"If you consider an enterprise-level application with a lot of customization, Shopify can be problematic to use."
"Shopify users pay a higher commission as they scale."
"There are some areas where improvements could be made. Currently, the platform only supports three product variants, and having the option for more variants would be beneficial. Additionally, we have to rely on external plugins for reviews and ratings, which could be more convenient if they were built-in."
"I have many clients that want to sell their products to the wholesale market, and Shopify currently does not have that kind of feature."
"The order processing and saving of the changes for the product should have automatic functioning."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't think our company uses enough functionalities of Fabric Commerce Platform. I think that tool offers a better value proposition for B2C models."
"The pricing of the solution is economical. The enterprise version is more expensive, however, we do not use it. We pay for the license on a monthly basis and there are payment gateway charges associated with transactions, typically around two percent or as applicable."
"The tool's pricing depends on how big your online store is."
"They have various plans including ones that are priced at $29 per month, $79 per month, and can go up to $300 per month."
"This is the only platform to enforce its own transaction fee unless you use Shopify Payments Content, which doesn’t automatically reformat when you switch themes."
"Depending on the client's requirements, they can choose either the basic plan or the premium plan."
