Webflow is my number one inspiration for how to build and scale an amazing product.

Hyperbolic PR nonsense. The value that Shopify gives sellers extends far beyond their templating system. Shopify is light-years down the road in terms of brilliantly designed, valuable features, third-party apps, channel integrations, analytics, fraud tools, payment integrations, catalog management, and much more. And considering their track record for reinvesting in their platform, and headcount of >2000 employees, in one or two years, they'll be that much further ahead. The idea that a visual design tool is going to make a dent in their market share is highly-improbable. Most of the professional design templates available for Shopify stores already include no-code tools for modifying many aspects of the layout and design.

@max_hodges One of the members of the Webflow Ecommerce team here. We actually agree that Shopify is a great service, with a ton of powerful features, integrations and plugins, etc. And yes, it may very well be a _better_ solution for many businesses out there right now. But from everything we have seen and heard in the last several years building Webflow, there is definitely an opportunity in the market for a solution focused on solving for the designers in a way that the existing folks in this space -- Shopify included -- aren't. Essentially we are working to give these creative individuals the ability to have almost _complete_ design flexibility while crafting the entire end-to-end shopping experience for these stores -- without writing a line of code (or paying someone else a ton of cash to do it for them). For the businesses that are hiring these designers, having this type of uniquely branded experience will help them stand out from the crowd, and having shopping and checkout flows built specifically for their products and customers can lead to more sales as well. As you described, shooting for _full_ feature parity with a platform like Shopify would likely be a fools' errand. But this is just our V1, has a ton of the core functionality that a lot of businesses need, and we're just getting started at chipping away at the most important gaps!

I have using Webflow for some time and I can say Webflow gave me the ability to ship simple products fast and without external technical help.

Pros:

Highly customizable Very good for makers without code experience

Cons:

Might be overwhelming for someone outside the tech world

Looks cool! Great design. To compete with Shopify it'd be great if you allowed external payment gateways for little or no fee. Shopify charges an additional 2% which is high. Stripe has odd terms and they completely block some industries from using their gateway.

@addisonjames what's wrong with Shopify Payments? If your industry is blocked by Stripes underwriters you'll probably just asking for trouble. Sports betting? Hair extensions? Porn? Shopify Payments are competitive with Stripe and Paypal. Also if you use the Advanced Plan the additional fee for third-party providers is only 0.5% not 2%. If you're doing $18K or more monthly the savings (from 2% to .05%) will pay for the difference in cost for the Advanced plan.

@max_hodges I'm building a site for an organic skin care brand. Stripe blocks skin care products containing Hyaluronic Acid which is odd because apparently it's a fairly common and safe ingredient. Thanks for the tip on the Advanced Plan.

if they are all about design, why do their demo shops designs look so disgusting? So sense for color or typography in their home page shop images.

Are you planning adding more payment options, specifically for Latin America, like PayU?

Cons:

need to have more than basic knowledge of HTML/CSS/JS
