WooCommerce or Shopify: how to choose
Both platforms can run a successful store. The right choice depends on who will manage it and how much customisation you need.

Start with who runs the store
Shopify handles hosting, security and updates for you, which suits teams without technical support. WooCommerce gives you full control, but you or your developer look after hosting and maintenance.
Customisation and cost
WooCommerce is more flexible for unusual workflows, subscriptions and content-heavy stores. Shopify has a faster start and predictable running costs, but deep changes may need apps or custom development.
Our rule of thumb
Pick Shopify when speed to launch and low maintenance matter most. Pick WooCommerce when you need control, content and custom logic. If you are unsure, a short discovery call usually settles it.
