Cons	Customization is limited in low-tier or free plans. The free plan limits the monetization options on the website. The cost of WordPress.com can appear expensive to beginner users. Paid access to plugins that are available for free in WordPress.org	Shopify charges extra transaction fees if you do not use Shopify Payments which adds up to a considerable amount. Most of the useful features are available only in the higher plans. The Interface does not have ‘Drag & Drop’ function while editing pages which takes a step behind other apps like Squarespace, WordPressand Bigcommerce. The images added with different aspect ratios will not be cropped automatically to uniform ratio giving your store an unprofessional look.
