Shopify along with Drupal Ubercart and Magento is e-commerce software that will turn your website into an online store.
It’s fast, secure and comes with an app store which means you can add marketing tools to drive traffic, help with SEO and deliver analytics so you can monitor your site’s effectiveness.

Shopify is a well-established Canadian e-commerce platform used by around 140,000 businesses around the world.
Shopify is ideal for small to medium enterprises as it’s quick to deploy but still has a built-in ecosystem of tools to hand which can be added to your e-commerce site as your business grows.
Magento is an open source e-commerce web application which means it’s not owned by one company but a community of web developers instead.
The benefit of this is that there are always new innovations being added to the application. Magento is perfect for larger organisations who perhaps want to have multiple outlets with different brand designs yet controlled from the one admin panel.
