Why Shopify AI is Overkill for Most Small Businesses

Shopify AI is designed for serious e-commerce operations, not simple online stores

Expensive for Small Stores

Shopify AI plans start at $29/month plus transaction fees. Most small businesses don't need enterprise-level features.

Complex Setup Process

Even with AI assistance, Shopify requires configuring payment processors, shipping, taxes, and inventory management.

Transaction Fees

Shopify charges 2% transaction fees on basic plans, plus payment processing fees. This adds up quickly for small businesses.

App Store Dependency

Basic e-commerce features require additional apps, each with their own monthly fees and complexity.

Learning Curve

Shopify's interface and terminology are designed for merchants with e-commerce experience, not beginners.

Platform Lock-in

Once you're invested in Shopify's ecosystem, switching platforms becomes difficult and expensive.
