Building a Shopify store means theme, apps, payments, and a product source. That is correct if you want that OS. It is slow if you still have nothing to sell tonight.
The AscenraDS path
Niche template, Ascenra catalogue, subdomain. Customize after it is live. See /alternatives/shopify for a fair comparison.
