And lastly, I will say about the awesome SEO features of Shopify which you will get in all the above 4 plans. You will get editable title tags, with Meta descriptions and URLs for your pages. You can also able to edit and adjust ALT tags for all your images. The image name is also customizable. Your store will include automatically generated sitemap.xml and robots.txt files. Shopify also automatically generate canonical URL tags for each page to prevent duplicate content.

I have also done many market reviews and also reviewed many websites running in Shopify. In each case, the SEO part is always the out of the box and you cannot complain anything about it. Also in a recent online eCommerce meetup, I have discussed the same with the SEO department of Complete Web Resources. They are also amazed by the inbuilt SEO options of Shopify.
