>Having not just studied but by building add-ons for shopify working with Shopify API including the new graphQL now I am sure it’s designed for mom-pop store

I don't know much about Shopify but if the following article is accurate, it's not just "mom & pop" stores:

Examples of big brand names with more than a few SKUs include Hasbro toys, Penguin books, etc.



Yes! I don’t really get the jump from using the GraphQL API to “this can only be used by small players” when it’s empirically not.

That article is absolutely bang on, We Make Websites is one of the best in the business when it comes to Shopify.

Disclaimer: my company has worked with WMW on a number of projects, including Hasbro (which last time I checked weren’t particularly “mom and pop”).
