Let's not get pedantic! Sales of limited-stock goods will ideally run their course in a super short span of time. For example if I am running a Magento site and am anticipating 100k+ visitors per minute, then I have to start worrying about the need for load balancers, etc. Shopify removes this burden. I think it's clear that that's what they're saying.

>>can't put tracking JS on checkout pages Holy shit, that sounds awful. How do you perform conversion optimization if you can't do tracking on checkout pages?

Thanks, will look. Last I checked you could put a tracking pixel on the confirmation page that appeared after a purchase was made, but not in the intermediate checkout steps.
If this is possible it's another example of poor product marketing: I've asked for this feature multiple times via email and forums over the last 6 years, and I hear about it from HN? That's a broken experience for a customer who's paid them approaching 5 figures.

#44This looks cool. Shopify seems to be one of / the most competent players in the eComm space. Wonder if it will pan out successfully.
They have some incredibly frustrating brick wall limitations that you find once you start really working with the platform, but it's still the best I've used by an order of magnitude. And the "there's an app for that" mantra totally holds true, which is often convenient for rapidly growing or testing features.
What limitations have you hit or found to be the most frustrating?

No native support for multi-tier pricing is the most frustrating thing I come up against. Often have clients wanting a wholesale/reseller tier. There are add-ons for it and kludges, but it'd be great to have even basic built-in options.

This is the same issue I have run into with my clients most frequently. It seems like they are not interested in fixing this issue sadly.

1) Very limited promotions system (one coupon code per order hard limit, limited options) - mitigated somewhat now with Shopify Pro and the script editor, but only somewhat.
2) No multiple currency support.
3) 100 variant limit per product (I've used a couple different ways around this in different stores, but none of them ideal).
Apps mitigate many of the other missing features and annoyances, but sometimes having to rely on apps is a tough pill to swallow (like needing to use Power Tools just to create smart collections with any kind of advanced rule set.)
