    Shopify out of the box had more features and did what we were looking to do that BigCommerce could not do without extensive customizations using a third-party vendor. That made it a very easy choice to switch to Shopify. Most of the customizations needed in Shopify we were able …

    I havent had a very detailed look at the others. But for us, to migrate the whole infrastructure to something else doesnt make sense. We are happy with Shopify.

    Shopify is the best tool in the ecosystem because with all the apps in its sphere, you can do almost anything. It also has the best checkout experience one can ask for in the Ecommerce / website space. I think when it comes to shipping inventory and theme management it’s the …

    Shopify allows for companies to quickly and easily get online and selling. However, the more you want to customize the platform, the more you'll realize that other platforms (such as Wordpress + WooCommerce) end up being better because you have access to all of the core code …

    Initially we built our website on GoDaddy. There was not much SEO functionality and website user experience wasn`t great either. Hence, we migrated to Shopify and everything changed for the better.

    WooCommerce may be a good option for a developer or simple websites for service based businesses (e.g., electrician/cafe/etc). If you are selling a physical or digital product and require the ability to customize your store with any frequency or to track performance etc then I …

    Shopify is not as user-friendly or attractive as Squarespace. Also, the interface is much more challenging due to the way the digital download variants system has been designed (requiring third party app). I find Shopify to be slightly superior to Wix for product selling - …

    Big Commerce and SAP Hybris are two other platforms we've investigated and Shopify is by far easiest to use and customize. While it doesn't do everything out of the box, the apps do fill in many gaps. The cost however, is probably the biggest selling point against these other …

    I am semi familiar with Wix. I prefer the Shopify interface for its ease of functionality and I think the platform is just more realistic in terms of what a business wants to see on the back end.

    The old platform that I used could not help us to meet our requirements. It was not helping us properly, then I got to know about Shopify and started using it. After 1 month [of] usage of Shopify we could understand that this is the best platform [for E-commerce] to make …

    Shopify is easy to use. You do not need to install many plugins for it, and if you are using WooCommerce, you will have to install some plugins. With Shopify, you get a high speed hosting and CDN (content delivery network) which will make your website fast. The checkout is also …
