Shopify problems

WOW! I opened a shopify account, and I thought, a store. I paid $9 for the basic plan and went through the unbelievably laborious, hours long process of filling out a bunch of forms and hit many roadblocks and had to ask many questions on the forums because of all the bugs in the program, just to find out I have to pay another $20 a month to actually have a store. So for $9 a month, you get the privilege of a ton of aggravation and no store. I guess it’s set up to trap you in and pay money and invest a ton of time and get nothing for it unless you pay more money. Anyone else have this experience with them?

Good to know, thanks.
