yes - using their "instant site". Good support, easy to setup, been running 2 years and no downtime, fairly cheap pm too

Cant do more complex customer setups/pricing, "instant site" has very limited page dev options, limited apps and didnt find the apps easy or updated as per instructions (not their fault, its the app developers lagging)

Depends on your requirements? Its served us really well, but will prob move to Shopify at some point as our business model changes

Like getting a Dacia Duster for your taxi business, it’ll do the job but you won’t get any prestige or long distance work. In other words you won’t grow.

If it’s not ecommerce it doesn’t matter, if it is go Shopify.

be warned all 3rd party shop solutions have the issue of you depending on them. With ease they block you.

You cannot move your shop, it need to be copied.
Shopify itself invests heavily into content, spamming all search engines. Gives you less chances.
