I had enough of them last year. I opened a shop on Shopify and received hundreds of Council Bluffs visits and other bots. At the time, I didn't know that these were bots. I was selling worldwide and was running google and Facebook ads to increase traffic. So when I got so much traffic, I was baffled that none had converted despite spending an hour on the website. I decided to connect the screen recording widget to see what the problem was and why customers weren't purchasing. Instantly I could see 95% of the traffic was bots. And I have paid for campaigns focusing on the area where most of the traffic is coming from. That is on top of paying monthly for a Shopify subscription. It was a sole destroying experience! You live, you learn, I guess. Shopify is a ripoff. They are overpriced and offer much less functionality than other platforms, do not monitor/repel bots, and customer care support is insufficient based on what they charge! I moved to Wix, and my business took off instantly. I can showcase my work, sell, accept bookings, and much more for a fraction of the price. Plus, it is not as techy, and I can do everything without messing with codes (or hiring expensive professionals to combat particularly tricky coding). Shopify is clunky, outdated, and not worth money or nerves.
