free to focus on what they know best Their
business, their products, selling their products
and customer service. Not only does Shopify
provide eCommerce solutions for online stores,
but they also provide POS (point of sale) systems
for real world offline stores, as well. Its a
business that is constantly evolving and

solutions to the world of commerce. Shopify
facilitates the vendor to set up a storefront

free and premium themes. There are over 100 to
choose from, and new designs are added all the
time. You can organize your products, customize
