Here's a small list of problems found from a quick test.
1. It's monolingual.
2. It's mono-currency.
3. It has a hidden schedule of fees like ripoff domain name registration with unwanted extra features, support for requisite features like SSL support (duh!) and shipping calculations.
4. It's not clear for which jurisdictions/product types you support tax calculations, or whether multi-party split revenue models are supported (eg. for dropship scenarios, digital product retailing eg. online content). Dynamic pricing also looks like it's not supported .. common digital retailing operations might use this, eg. for Hollywood content.
5. It's unclear to me based in China whether or not I can receive payments through your system.
6. It has no support for communities (eg. hosted forums) which despite not being Web2.0 are actually pretty cool for building customers for ecommerce operations.
7. The actual build bit seems almost completely disconnected from the plan bit, which mostly talks in gross generalities about the build bit without making you do it. The link between the two could be improved.

8. Dogecoin support?
Congrats on getting rich.
