Shopify AI is built for enterprise e-commerce, not small businesses. ChilledSites creates beautiful, functional online stores in minutes - perfect for entrepreneurs who want to sell without the technical overhead.
Shopify AI is designed for serious e-commerce operations, not simple online stores
Shopify AI plans start at $29/month plus transaction fees. Most small businesses don't need enterprise-level features.
Even with AI assistance, Shopify requires configuring payment processors, shipping, taxes, and inventory management.
Shopify charges 2% transaction fees on basic plans, plus payment processing fees. This adds up quickly for small businesses.
Basic e-commerce features require additional apps, each with their own monthly fees and complexity.
Shopify's interface and terminology are designed for merchants with e-commerce experience, not beginners.
Once you're invested in Shopify's ecosystem, switching platforms becomes difficult and expensive.
