The real difference
Shopify is a service: you pay a subscription and the platform takes care of hosting, security and updates. WooCommerce is a WordPress plugin: you own everything, so you are responsible for everything.
Shopify or WooCommerce?
We build on both, so we have no reason to sell you one over the other. Here is how we actually decide.

Choose Shopify if...
- You want to start selling quickly without managing the tech
- Your catalogue is standard and your logistics conventional
- You sell internationally, in several currencies
- You have no in-house technical team
03
Choose WooCommerce if...
- You already have a WordPress website with established content and SEO
- You want zero commission and no platform subscription
- Your business rules are very specific
- Editorial content matters as much as sales

What about the real cost?
Shopify costs more in fixed monthly fees but less in maintenance. WooCommerce looks free until you add up high-performance hosting, premium plugins and maintenance. Over three years, the gap is often smaller than you would think.

Frequently asked questionsYour questions,
Your questions,
answered.
Can you move from WooCommerce to Shopify?
Yes, it is a common migration. Products, customers and orders can be transferred, and a redirect plan protects your search rankings.
Which is better for SEO?
Both can deliver excellent results. WooCommerce gives finer technical control; Shopify guarantees a fast, healthy base. In practice, the quality of the build matters far more than the platform.
