Summary
Pick Lima if…
Pet shops, kids' stores, gift shops and accessories — fun brands whose customers mostly shop on mobile.
Watch out for: Bold color on every section gets tiring; stick to a 2–3 tone palette for consistency.

Stores that already run it and prioritize speed. For new stores, Ipanema is the closest alternative.
Watch out for: No FTP/custom code, blog, multi-language/currency, subscriptions, or restricting purchases to registered customers.
