It can be a challenge to manage an online business as well as market it digitally. If you want a more painless system, the secret is to invest in reliable and efficient tools that can improve your productivity. 

If you’re into eCommerce, you must have heard of Shopify. Shopify is used to create and maintain online stores. It is backed by powerful tools like Builderall to help you find customers, drive sales, and manage your daily business tasks.

Background

Brazilian digital entrepreneur Erick Salgado founded eBusiness4us in the USA in 2008 and was originally an online marketing course program. 

In 2011, eBusiness4us, Inc began a program to develop an all-in-one digital marketing platform with all the tools that an entrepreneur will need to grow a business. A decade later, the Builderall platform caters to more than 250,000 users worldwide. (READ More: What is Builderall and how does it work?)

Shopify

Shopify is an all-in-one commerce platform used by entrepreneurs to start, market, manage their business, and sell their products online. 

Shopify was born in 2006 from the frustration of its founders Tobias Lutke and Scott Lake with the available ecommerce solutions at the time that did not give them enough control to be successful with their business selling snowboards online.  

It wasn’t long before Shopify gained a huge following and became a staple program for entrepreneurs – from retailers to freelancers, catering to all their needs. Today, the program powers over 1,700,000 businesses in 175 countries,
