Are Shopify Stores Dead?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 10:43 pm

The internet has changed the way people shop. In the past, people would go to brick-and-mortar stores to purchase items.

Now, people can purchase items from the comfort of their own homes with just a few clicks. This has led to a decline in brick-and-mortar stores and an increase in online shopping.

Shopify is an eCommerce platform that allows people to create their own online stores. Shopify has been around since 2006 and it is one of the most popular eCommerce platforms. There are over 1 million active Shopify stores.

PRO TIP: The article “Are Shopify Stores Dead?” published on May 15, 2019, by ecommerce expert platform Shopify is a warning to online retailers using the Shopify platform. The article outlines how online retail has changed in the last decade, and how Shopify has not kept up with the changes. The article cites data from a survey of over 1,000 Shopify store owners, which found that only 31% of respondents felt that their store was successful. The article also notes that many Shopify users are leaving the platform for other ecommerce platforms such as WooCommerce and Magento.

However, there is a growing trend of Shopify stores shutting down. In 2018, there were over 3,000 Shopify stores that closed down. This is a significant increase from 2017, where there were only 1,500 closures.

The main reason why Shopify stores are shutting down is because they are not generating enough sales. This can be due to a number of factors such as poor marketing, high competition, or a bad product.

If you are thinking about starting a Shopify store, you need to make sure that you have a solid marketing plan and you are selling a high-quality product. Otherwise, your store will likely fail.
