sup /biz/
i work for a small, established, brick and mortor business in a niche industry. we offer shit tons of products, and i'm relatively new here. i redid our website from the super outdated trash it was to, still trash, but a quick, rough, needed update.
but i want to setup e-commerce, an actual system with a shopping cart and everything. i'm in a good position, because i am the only full time employee. i have one part time co worker, and my boss is hardly ever around except the last couple hours of the day. so if sales grow due to this website, i will be directly recognized and rewarded accordingly. we don't do much business anymore that's why he's cut back on employees, due to the online shopping boom killing half of his business. we do alright, but i think with e-commerce we could double or triple our revenue.
i've started with a 50 order trial of shopify, and have been slowly and tediously adding our products to it, once i have a decent foundation of at least all of the categories of our products, i'm gonna pitch the shopify idea at my boss and probably just use the buy button feature to keep our current website but with the shopify products and shopping cart embedded.
so basically what i'm getting at is, anyone have experience with shopify? is there a better alternative i'm missing? any tips/tricks to maximize effiency and grow this business with e-commerce?

sorry for not making a typical shitcoin thread, though i am hodling for dear life at the moment.
