What is Shopify?
Shopify is a tool where you can open a ready-made online store in a couple of hours, without having previously had a website or knowing anything about creating websites.
Imagine you want to sell something (t-shirts, jewelry, coffee, candles, shoes, furniture - anything). Instead of building a physical store, you take Shopify, choose a layout (there are hundreds of ready-made "templates" that look professional), insert your products (image + price + description), and the very next day people can buy from you online.
You don't need to know programming, you don't need to know what "domain", "hosting", "HTML", "CSS" is - Shopify does it all for you. You pay a monthly subscription (the cheapest package is around $29-$39 per month).
