    Shopify Plus is far more scalable and stable. It is much easier to implement, and the time to value is much shorter. Development resources are plentiful and skilled, and the product's user base is so massive that significant testing has been done prior to releasing any updates …

    A far more professional approach to e-commerce in general. Servers and the core SSL are taken care of and you're left with a whole host of tools to sell, sell and sell.

    Chose Shopify Plus
    Shopify is a much easier and more intuitive platform to use.

    The mobile focus is outstanding from the other competitors and the capability to modify the store without previous code or experience makes them the best e-commerce platform.

    Chose Shopify Plus
    Shopify Plus offers a more robust solution than Woo commerce and is easier to train on than Big Commerce. Woo commerce is freeware with no support. Big Commerce offers more SEO features and is a more powerful solution, but harder to remote train users on - lots more …

    Shopify Plus integrates so well with other services, and keeps all levels of the online shopping experience in one place. It really saves a developer or manager a lot of headache that can arise with other e-commerce platforms.

    A direct connection to our ERP sets Shopify Plus apart for other platforms we've evaluated. The integration with our ERP eliminates manual data entry, reduces fulfillment errors, and ensures accurate stock visibility company-wide.

    Chose WooCommerce
    WooCommerce is a good free version that's very customisable, but is not a smooth or polished platform. If you look at both dashboards between Shopify and WooCommerce you can see the difference is huge.

    WooCommerce seems to be built for websites that aren't focused entirely on …

    Even if some plugins are very expensive, the maintenance cost is a …
