Shopify is amazing for merchants. For developers, it's the anti-Stripe. The APIs barely make sense, the documentation is terrible, the system design choices will make you wonder what they were thinking. The whole thing feels janky and put together with duct tape. You'll rarely get dev support as a partner. Shopify does not give first-class support to its public APIs - they use a separate set of private APIs to manage stores using their dashboard so they have very little direct feedback about public APIs.
