Who is their main competition?
In this the online store and retail POS space I'm aware there are other operators, but Shopify is the only one I can name.
Square I guess in the POS space?
- bhouston 12y agoSome competitors: Magento / Magento Go oscommerce woocommerce etsy squarespace prestashop opencart Wordpress has shopping chart as well. There are a ton of existing POS providers for stores, more than one can name.
- girvo 12y agoMagneto and OSCommerce are nowhere near competitors IMO, at least in terms of using them as a developer. I still get fever dreams about Magento...
- incarnate 12y agoIn the hosted eCommerce space BigCommerce, Volusion, SquareSpace and Miva are some of the biggest competitors. Magento Go is/has been shut down, but other downloadable carts are now moving to a hosted model like PrestaShop and LemonStand. Self-hosted options also abound, many of them free (and open source), like WooCommerce, OpenCart and Magento. Shopify's POS is more of an add-on for an online store, competing with the likes of Square, Lightspeed and Shopkeep.
- base 12y agoFor hosted online stores: BigCommerce, Volusion, Jumpseller, Bigcartel to name a few.
- jackzombie 12y agoI believe Vend just launched their online POS yesterday to compete more directly with Shopify. Previously, they were doing well with bricks and mortar stores.
- anotherview 12y agoSquareSpace, Etsy, BigCartel, BigCommerce, Magento, Volusion, Goodsie, and many others. Heck, you can even run an online store from GoDaddy.
