Shopify can handle 2 of the 4 website jobs manufacturers usually need, using its own features and add-ons. Still to check before you commit: dealer and stockist finder; spec sheets and brochures.
Product ranges with specifications. Products carry descriptions, images and variants, managed from the Products page.
Trade quote requests. The free Shopify Forms app collects visitor details and can be set up for enquiries, including wholesale requests.
Dealer and stockist finder. Shopify can list physical store locations in its Shop app; a map locator on your own store needs an app or custom section.
Spec sheets and brochures. A downloadable guide needs a form app or digital product setup; confirm how the file is delivered.
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.
