Founded in Canada in 2004, Shopify is the world's No. 1 e-commerce platform used by over 1 million stores in 175 countries around the world.
Since the establishment of the Japanese subsidiary in 2017, the number of domestic users has been steadily increasing.
No server installation required! Smooth opening with low initial introduction cost
Shopify is a subscription-type service model, so you can open it without building a server or network.
Advantages of using Shopify "Customization" "Cross-border EC"
- High degree of customization
- Strong in cross-border e-commerce
These two are the big advantages of Shopify.
High degree of customization
By using designs (called "themes" in Shopofy) and editing liquid files (Ruby-based template language) from the management screen, more advanced customization is possible.
*Knowledge of HTML and CSS is required when editing liquid files.
As sales increase and the number of products increases, customization of shop design and functions becomes important from the standpoint of differentiation from other companies .
Customization is not only for design but also for function.
You can customize various functions by installing apps that meet your requirements. (It is an image like a smartphone application)
Shopify is a platform made overseas, so it needs to be customized for the Japanese market.
The apps are free, but most are monthly subscriptions.
The person in charge of FORMIX will listen to your requirements and budget and propose an application that suits your online shop.
