Is Shopify worth the money for a small UK business?
For most small UK businesses selling products online, yes. From £25 a month you get hosting, security, a fast checkout, payments and thousands of apps, without paying a developer to maintain a website. It's less worthwhile if you only sell a few items occasionally.

The details
If you sell very little, a marketplace or a simpler tool may be cheaper. Once you have regular sales, Shopify's conversion tools and lower card fees on higher plans usually pay for themselves.
