Shopify can handle 3 of the 4 website jobs salons and beauty businesses usually need, using its own features and add-ons. Still to check before you commit: a gallery of recent work.
Booking with service and staff choice. Shopify points service businesses to booking apps from the Shopify App Store; availability and capacity are set in the app.
Gift vouchers. Gift cards are sold as gift card products from the Shopify admin.
Retail product sales. Shopify includes a built-in checkout that you adjust in the admin settings.
A gallery of recent work. Gallery sections depend on the theme chosen; confirm the theme has the layout you need.
App costs and app overlap add up as features are added.
Product and collection URLs use fixed /products and /collections paths.
Hosting is included with every Shopify plan.
Theme files, including Liquid templates, can be edited in the code editor.
Many features, such as bookings, come from apps in the Shopify App Store.
