What are the benefits of replatforming to Shopify?

Shopify is a powerful eCommerce platform with endless possibilities. Businesses love Shopify because it saves time and money in some significant ways. First, Shopify automates and streamlines many critical eCommerce functions. Right out of the box, Shopify handles security, secure payment processing, future compatibility, automatic updates, stability and speed. Even SEO tasks like XML sitemaps and custom robots.txt files are part of the basic Shopify package.

Another reason businesses love Shopify is that it comes loaded with tons of built-in features that you'd have to pay for elsewhere. Features like Shopify's baked-in CDN, which serves large images with ease. Or the fact that Shopify site owners can post unlimited products, unlimited categories unlimited collections, and unlimited transactions, so your business isn't penalized for success. Shopify doesn't even put a limit on total site file size, so brands can keep expanding their product lines without worrying about going over-budget on listings. All that stacks up to make Shopify a great choice for rapidly scaling brands.

That makes Shopify Plus very enticing for rapidly scaling brands who need a scalable eCommerce solution that doesn't limit their growth.
