Online stores that
do the work.

Shopify is the right choice for many retailers: hosted, secure, scales without thinking. WooCommerce wins when you need control and custom logic. We'll be honest about which one suits your products, your team and your growth model, not which one we'd rather build on.

Pick Shopify when…

You sell physical products at scale

200+ SKUs, multiple variants, regular launches. Shopify's product management is excellent.

You want zero infrastructure overhead

Hosting, security, SSL, scaling and backups all handled. You manage products and orders; Shopify manages the rest.

You're growing fast (DTC brands)

Shopify Plus handles flash sales, viral launches and 5× year-on-year growth without breaking.

You use the Shopify ecosystem

POS for in-store, Markets for international, Shopify Email, the Shop app, all tightly integrated.

You want app-store-installable features

Subscriptions, bundles, reviews, loyalty: thousands of apps add capability without custom development.

Your team isn't technical

Shopify's admin is genuinely usable by non-developers. WooCommerce's admin is more daunting.

Pick WooCommerce when…

You need custom logic

B2B pricing tiers, complex shipping calculators, niche integrations, unusual product types. WooCommerce is more flexible.

You want full control

No platform fees, no transaction fees beyond payment processing, no app subscriptions. Higher upfront, lower ongoing.

Content is central to commerce

If your store is content-led (blog, customer education, recipes, tutorials) WordPress gives you better content tools.

Per-transaction fees matter at your volume

Shopify charges a small per-transaction fee on top of payment processing. At high volume, that adds up.
