An SAAS (software as a service) tool, with a monthly subscription. Everything runs on Shopify’s server. You won’t have to buy web services or hosting - its an all-in-one hosting solution. There are 5 pricing plans, it’s relatively easy to set up, excellent for international usage due to inherent payment gateways, and most importantly, manageable by individuals without prior coding experience. Themes and e-commerce features are already included, technical maintenance is taken care of and 24/7 support services are available. It is arguably more beneficial for individuals who need simple websites created immediately.
