More customizations and flexibility options: WooCommerce provides more flexibility than Shopify, such as the ability to access myriad plugins and being an open-source as well as a self-hosted platform. Choice of different payment gateway: While you have to use the service of Shopify Payments, WooCommerce enables you to use various payment gateways without any additional fee. Control pricing: With WooCommerce, you only pay for the functionality you require.
