What do you like best about Shogun?

Snippets and store sync is possible and the ability to only sync snippets,page,template depending on your needs. Sections and elements are fully customizable and you can even add raw HTML and Javascript if needed as well as support for custom classes.

Its hard to grab elements sometimes if they are stacked without spacing.

Overall it is intuitive and easy to use especially with the addition of "Show Drop zones" toggle and Layout view.

Customer support is fast and very helpful, Integrations are plenty and Images are optimized when uploaded to the page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shogun?

With the addition of features on shogun the backend feels slow

and sometimes you need to clear cache or relogin to refresh shogun tokens especially when you switch from store to store.

Price - Shogun might be too much for some businesses especially if you are using the sync feature since you need to be on the highest plan per store to use it.

I would also love if we can have a features toggle on shogun itself se we can

declutter the UI if we are not using them (ex. A/B testing) and potentially

make the backend load even faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Shogun solving and how is that benefiting you?

Shopify's editor lacks flexibility, making it difficult for most users to create varied landing pages and promotions. This often requires editing theme files and hiring developers, potentially slowing down your site due to varied code insertions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Shogun?

Several months ago I worked with a developer briefly to update my website. He reccommeded Shogun and used the platform to create a more robust version of my site. Because I only contracted him for a short period of time, I've been updating the sections he created here and there when necessary. It's been going fine until I royally messed something up and completly deleted a very important "shogun section." I reached out in panic to support and they came through in a big way. Support went above and beyond to restore the section I accidentily deleted and gave me instructions on how to update and publish the sections in the future (teach a man to fish approch...). I am so incredibly grateful for the support team and for them going the extra mile to save a small business owner who is very unfamilar with code or building a website. I'm a fan for life! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shogun?

Sometimes I get a little frusterated with the functionality when trying to build or edit a section. It's like I know what I want it to look like but have a hard time finding the features that will ultimatly make it look like how I want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Shogun solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use Shopify as my webhost but needed features outside the theme's offered on Shopify. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Shogun?

Shogun is the only real option for scheduling homepage updates in BigCommerce, but it works well. The testing features have gotten better and better and they are constantly making improvements such as segmenting and personalization. We now use personalization logic to easily schedule multiple sales in advance which was not possible before. Customer Service is helpful and implementation was fairly easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shogun?

The interface isn't the easiest to use if you have custom elements. Sometimes complex manual styling is necessary for creating mobile-optimized. There are some limitations, such as scheduling top banners, product badges, etc. It would be nice to schedule all promotional elements in one place, but that's more of a BigCommerce flaw. There are some features only available at the highest tier which can be pricey. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Shogun solving and how is that benefiting you?

BigCommerce does not allow homepage updates to be scheduled for promotions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Shogun?

I have used Shogun now for a little while across a number of platforms; and 1 think that makes me keeping coming back is the helpful nature of the customer support but also how easy the software is to use. We have created landing pages, blogs and we are currently re-designing our homepage using Shogun due to its easy to use drag and drop features that almost anyone can use. Being able to have a wireframe from our designer and implement it to almost exactly what they are after with little to no code has streamlined the way we are able to quickly pivot our sites exactly when we need to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shogun?

The 1 thing that I have not liked is just some of the basic things like sometimes the page may render odd on the front end and I've had to contact customer service to get a code snippet at times to fix some issues for landing pages; but honestly their customer service is also what makes it so god with fast and hassle free responses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Shogun solving and how is that benefiting you?

In the past we have had to engage developers to code our homepage as we could never use the native page builders to get exactly what we want, and of course there are still limitations to Shogun, however we can get it looking almost to what our designer asks us to ceate without much fuss or need for extra code.

What do you like best about Shogun?

Shogun is a really amazing tool for building pages, with lots of useful features that make it easy to design across multiple pages. Snippets is my favourite feature, where you can save whole blocks and paste them in other areas & pages. Overall really user friendly, and love the drag & drop functionality. The support team are amazing - they will screen record (in real time) solutions to your problems which is super efficient and helpful when trying to troubleshoot. Would really reccommend! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shogun?

The only downside I would flag is sometimes the spacing & formatting of blocks across multiple screens/devices can be tricky to navigate, but once you get the hang of it it's pretty straightforward. Would recommend looking at the free templates and blocks from the library to see how spacing & formatting has been used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Shogun solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's a fantastic solution for page building - best on the market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Shogun?

The product is fantastic and lets your shopify store be so much more flexable. There are many features and support is there for you. I had placed a ticket and it was answered within 30 minutes directly answering my question in great detail to the point I thought it was solved. But I had a weird interaction because of my own issue. Support solved the problem for me and showed me how to fix it in the future. Honestly the best experiance I've had. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shogun?

The price is high but it's a valuable service. I only hope that the cheapest $39 Tier doesn't become more restrictive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Shogun solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm using shogun to build my product pages and to add flare to my home page. It makes editing so much nicer and cleaner. I can use the fonts that aren't included in shopify without an extra extension and things run great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Shogun?

The help centre - easy to follow and understand if unsure on how to approach an issue. Fast responses from the customer support team if I have any questions. Detailed answers and recordings to show how to change or apply specific elements for desktop and mobile. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shogun?

Nothing at this stage - only thing is there is not a TikTok social icon which we would love to include. Feedback passed onto the team :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Shogun solving and how is that benefiting you?

Don't need to understand code to build customised pages for desktop and mobile. We have two countries so this allows me to easily duplicate the page for each country without having to re-build. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
