Clyfford Still Museum uses Shopify, but we are not the robust online retail
environment that you might need to inform your decision. We use it for
product only, and we sell very little product online. Positives are that
it's simple to set up and simple to use. Non-technical staff
manage/maintain it.

I remember that LACMA was on Shopify when we were researching it for the
Still...I recommend taking theirs for a test drive and being in touch with
some folks over there.

[MCN-L] Shopify on museum websites

[Jennifer Schmitt]

Hi all -

I'm hoping some of you have experience with Shopify.  We are looking to
move away from UberCart on our Drupal 6 website and set up Shopify
instead.  It will need to sell store products, event tickets (not many),
memberships, and take donation transactions.  Any thoughts, stories,
experiences, examples welcome.

Thanks!

Jenn Schmitt
