Shopify features an advanced ecommerce CMS & shopping cart that offer built in Search Engine Optimization (SEO) features. These SEO features ensure that your ecommerce website gets a lot of traffic and sales from Google, Bing, and Yahoo.

Under the hood, Shopify's SEO-friendly CMS allows best practices like customizable H1, title and meta tags. It also automatically generates sitemaps.xml files so new products and site changes show up on search engines quickly.

You can further specify that a code can only be used a limited number of times, for a specific product, for a minimum order amount, or is only valid during a certain date range.
