805 Shopify Testimonials

"Had we invested in building something from scratch it would have taken about nine and a half years for it to become financially viable."

"Shopify Plus looks good on the front end and is easy to navigate at the back end. It’s very easy to train someone else to use Shopify Plus. We have a professional-looking, clean, and easy-to-use website, which is changing all the time. The ability to bring in different apps is also really helpful."

We moved to Shopify Plus because our old platform wasn’t hitting the high points that I needed it to, and we needed more flexibility to plug into existing technologies for productivity and marketing support. Shopify Plus is more than a platform, it’s a partnership.

“I studied retail and consumer studies at University of Arizona and directly out of school worked for Nordstrom doing special events and sales promotion across a couple of states and many different stores. It was a great training ground for me to really learn and to bring that forward into the other businesses I've been involved in.”

"You have to shake off that feeling of heaviness. You just really have to carry on. You've got three other mouths to feed."

"I don't even really want to think of those days. It was damn hard."

"My family had, not nothing, but we were a humble family. My dad would drive me past houses and be like, you're gonna have these things some day."

"I pretty much became vegan overnight. I got a little juicer and started making these radical combinations at home."

"We had an order from Prince William and Kate Middleton when they were just having their first baby. We didn't realize it was such a big deal at first."

“When we started our Kickstarter campaign, we only had one women's jacket. We found out 60% of our customer base was women. We only had a bomber at the time and they wanted a three-quarter jacket. We had to quickly scramble and design one in a day and a half."

“We love clothing and product design,” David explains. “Not only are we really excited about getting to make things that represent who we are, and represent who our students are, but at the same time we know the product is making an impact. We call it a win-win. We get to do things that we're passionate about that are also making a sustainable impact in a community that needs solutions.”

“At that time, there was essentially a punk rock economy emerging in the Bay Area. I was in the middle of a strong, counterculture community of fiercely independent people who were finding ways to pursue their ideals and passions as a career, rather than work for someone else.”

“When I was growing up, my parents were deal finders. We always bought used cars, we always bought used clothes. When I tried on a dress and fell in love with it, it was way out of my budget, but I just felt like, ‘I know I can find this used.’ Back then there was really only eBay or Craigslist. There wasn't a platform specific for wedding dresses. What I found is a lot of women back then were using The Knot forums to sell and buy dresses. I saw an opportunity for a platform for women looking to do the same thing I was doing."

“Shopify Capital was the life line my business needed this summer. As you can imagine, when you have a business where you have to maintain inventory, maintaining consistent positive cash flow becomes a challenge. So many things are dependent on sales. Shopify Capital has been very easy, very straightforward. You have a dashboard that shows your progress. I have to tell you, I have never had financing that was this simple.”

“The coffee and chocolate subscription business was a huge learning experience for us. We had the ability to taste all of the makers products around North America. Although in the end we decided to stop the service, it gave us insight into how the back end of chocolate making was done.”
