What is Shopify?

Shopify is a website and application that allows beginners to set up a full-fledged online store.

While opening a store is basically free, paying a monthly fee of $25, $69, or $299 per month expands the range of services and content available, enabling more efficient and full-fledged store management.

Today, many sole proprietors are using Shopify to develop their businesses, and the ability to create international e-commerce site pages allows them to do business not only in their own country but also with an international audience.

The advantages of using Shopify are as follows

As explained at the beginning, Shopify allows you to create pages for free.

If you plan to use Linkpop primarily as a business tool, you can use the free plan without any problems.

Next, we summarize the disadvantages of using Shopify.

Even beginners can create and manage a website, but it is easier to operate and manage if you have knowledge of e-commerce-related topics.

We recommend Shopify to anyone who is thinking about opening a store or looking for a full-fledged e-commerce site/application.

Has Shopify entered the market with the launch of Linkpop?

Shopify was primarily an app and site for full-fledged store management, but with Linkpop, announced in March 2022, it has entered the link in bio market.

Since only one basic link can be added to major social media such as Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, and TikTok, Shopify-only promotion was not a practical deal for creators and influencers.

However, the availability of Linkpop further improves integration with the major social media mentioned above, making efficient and practical business marketing possible.

Summary

So far, we have explained how to link Shopify with Linkpop and an overview of Shopify.

Shopify is for sole proprietors and Linkpop is for influencers and creators.

Shopify allows you to open a full-fledged personal store, and you can sign up for a monthly plan for more efficient business marketing.

In addition, Linkpop is completely free of charge, and even first-time users can easily customize, operate, and manage the tool.

In summary, though both Shopify and Linkpop have their disadvantages, they are still capable of opening and operating a full-fledged store.

For those who are considering opening a store, we recommend using both Shopify and Linkpop together.
