    Some of the main drawbacks that I observed while working on Shopify are mentioned below. 1- Cost: Shopify can be expensive, particularly for small businesses or those just starting out. 2- Customization: While Shopify offers many templates and themes, customization options can be limited, which can be a disadvantage for users with unique design requirements. 3- Technical Knowledge: Some technical knowledge is required to make the most of the platform, and users may need to rely on third-party apps or developers for more advanced functionality. 4- Transaction Fees: Shopify charges transaction fees on top of credit card processing fees, which can add up quickly. 5- App Store Quality: While Shopify's App Store offers a wide range of apps and plugins, not all of them are of the same quality, and some may be buggy or cause conflicts with other apps.

    There are several potential drawbacks to using Shopify as an e-commerce platform, including: Limited customization options for the platform's design templates Additional transaction fees when using certain payment gateways Higher costs for add-ons and apps compared to other e-commerce platforms Limited control over SEO and the ability to optimize your site for search engines Limited scalability for large and high-volume stores Limited reporting and analytics capabilities Keep in mind that these drawbacks may not necessarily be a problem for every business and it will depend on your specific needs.
