No opne gets sacked for choosing Shopify Plus....wth good reason
This is an amazing Ecommerce eco-system. Conversion rate improved by 50% over our self-hosted, self managed previous site. It's not cheap but the support is excellent.
Pros
* scalable architecture that grows automatically with traffic and usage
* excellent payment gateways and checkout
* strong templating and control language
* comprehensive RESTful API
* excellent range of third party apps
Cons
* Shopify works hard to keep full backward compatibility but is frustrating when they don't
* Often bring features available in 3rd-party apps into the core product, but often not as well implemented as the 3rd party causing confusion when features are replicated

Amazingly easy to setup your first webshop using shopify
Online grocery store with recipes, blogs , partnership with other vendors to sell cross products. Appointment bookings.
Pros
Shopify is amazingly easy to setup and to get started, the default templates are sufficient to create better than a basic design. The blogs and knowledge articles are quite helpful to learn about different entities. The availability of thousands of apps on shopify app store gives you the possibility to put your imagination to your website. I wanted to create a website with products, recipes, videos link to blogs, out of stock reminders etc and every function was easily possible using apps.
Another limitation is: I have a appointment booking system but none of the app allows/requests for a confirmation from the user. For e.g. I wanted to offer the possibilities for the user to book appointments but without making any payments in advance. For this purpose, user is just needed to enter their details like name and email address. But without really getting a confirmation this system can be used to create false appointments quite easily by providing any email ids. Ideally a confirmation is a must by the email address to get verified. But this is not available with any of the apps.
Cons
There is one special feature i fond missing for my scenario where i wanted to allow for local pickup from stores but the store should be able to scan a barcode or some order number from the user to verify the order details and then at the same time after successful delivery be able to complete the order themselves. This was not possible easily.

Overhyped and only useful for small companies
Pros
It's easy to use and set up. There is a wide range of ready apps and themes that can be used to customise your shop further.
Cons
Very restrictive in terms of features, either you do things Shopify way, or don't. Developer support is inexistent, either being redirected to "forums" or referred to a paid partner that can give you an overpriced consulting solution.

Easy To Use & Great For Small Stores!
Easy store setup
Pros
Shopify Plus is great to use for the serious business owner. It allows you to set up a shop and start selling very quickly which is very appealing to many.
Cons
Shopify seems to have been built for very small size stores. While this is great for some, it is horrible for others. They also do not have any built in way to set up shipping based on product dimensions so if you have multiple products with different dimensions this is probably not the best website platform for you. Seems that we have to use many "work arounds" just to make things like shipping work. It can be a huge pain if you have a big store.

I love shopify plus!
Pros
I like how quickly you can build an online store with trusted security and speed, also being a plus+ customer allows you to get dedicated customer support and access to apps that can help you to automate your store or create very custom promos using Ruby programming language. It's a platform to scale your bussiness very fast!
Cons
from a web developer perspective, I don't like that there's no built-in GIT control over the themes, there are many external options to do that but it would be great to build some control versioning between themes inside the shopify platform.

Basically a turnkey Ecommerce platform.
This is hands down the easiest platform to use if you are looking to get an Ecomm site up in running quickly and have it look/ work right. Tons of plug ins to help increase conversions.

Everything you need!
Pros
Shopify Plus is expensive, but if it fits your business size it's worth it! For smaller businesses the lower levels of the Shopify Tiers are good for your size; but if Shopify Plus makes sense go for it. Specifically Shopify Flow and Shopify Script Editor on Plus have been game changers for our business! Shopify Flow makes day to day management of our store so much easier!
Cons
The library of "pre-built" Shopify scripts for Script Editor is very small. You definitely have to rely on third party sources and custom developers to build most scripts for even basic things.

I've used this product for over a year and LOVE it!
Pros
Shopify Plus has an extremely user-friendly interface. It's easy for shoppers to use, as well as account managers. It's also extremely easy to use the scripts editor when having promotional deals, which is an extremely important feature in retail.
Cons
I think overall this product is great. I don't have anything negative to say about this product, other than the price is a bit high for start up companies. They do allow for a free trial version which was very helpful in determining if this product was right for our company.

Works great for our e-commerce site
Pros
Shopify plus made it so easy to get an online web presence started with the abilities to take orders and collect money right away.
Cons
I feel like the tier levels are a bit pricey a bit too soon. They have tailored their pricing structure towards larger "small businesses."

Perfect Platform for Growing Fashion Businesses
Excellent platform, would happily recommend to anyone looking for nimble, stable platform for their online business.
Pros
Extremely easy to implement. Build took 3 months. Launch was anticlimactic and backlog of tasks were minimal.
Cons
There are some limitations on how much you can customize it, but it's not a dealbreaker.

I've been using Shopify plus for the last year, starting and getting everything was really...
Pros
It is really simple to use and fast forward to concentrate on your selling efforts, tons of apps to try and with the freemium model, you get to try a lot of them before even purchasing it.
Cons
There are parts that are not so friendly which really is important to take a look at, like being able to export your categories tree and compare it to your ERP catalog to see you have every product uploaded.

Great option for Passive Income
I started an online store and am earning passive income with Shopify ever since
Pros
I started an online store on shopify about 2 years ago. I watched a lot of videos on how to use it so the ease of use is easy because there's a lot of information available. My shopify store is my best form of passive income and the Shopify PLus software has made managing the store, orders and returns easy and fast
Cons
The learning curve may be a bit extensive for beginners but there's lots of videos to learn

Industry leader for a reason. In my opinion, Shopify is the platform of choice for most ecommerce retailers, even those who are super technical.

The price continues to go up and up so make sure you evaluate whether you need Plus or regular shopify.

Awesome ecommerce tool
Pros
Very easy to use. What I like the most is the app that allows you to use almost ALL the features on your phone
Cons
I think the price is way too high compared to some other competitors, for instance WooCommerce by WordPress
