There are pros and cons for ecommerce web development with either Shopify or Woocommerce. Both platforms feature robust developer communities and 3rd-party apps/plugins to enhance your website’s functionality and performance. Deciding which platform to use depends on the needs of your business and what your goals are. Our team will listen to your priorities and create a plan with the right platform.
The big difference between Shopify and Woocommerce you need to understand is in the hosting abilities. What that means is with Woocommerce, you have access to all the tools of Wordpress. It’s an open-source platform that can self-host. Meanwhile, with Shopify, there is no option to host your site anywhere, and your ecommerce platform exists within the ecosystem of Shopify.
Both platforms can provide solutions for your business. Captivate will advise what works best for you.
