Here&#8217;s our honest take on which one fits you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"flow-root\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"ml-1 mt-6 flex items-center transition-transform duration-300 ease-out\">\n<div class=\"p-1 -translate-x-px\">\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<p><b>Choose Shopify<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> if you don&#8217;t have a dev team, want to launch fast, and would rather pay a predictable monthly fee than manage hosting, security, and updates yourself. It&#8217;s the right call for most startups through mid-market brands, and Shopify Plus scales with you well past $1M in revenue without forcing a platform switch.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Choose WooCommerce<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> if you&#8217;re already running WordPress, content and SEO are core to how you grow, and you have at least some developer access, whether that&#8217;s a freelancer or in-house help. You&#8217;ll trade Shopify&#8217;s simplicity for lower long-term costs and far more control over design, content, and search visibility, but you own the hosting, security, and plugin maintenance that comes with it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Choose Magento (Adobe Commerce)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Magento makes the most sense when your business has outgrown Shopify Plus or WooCommerce, such as with complex B2B pricing, multiple stores, or very large international catalogs. Below roughly $5M in GMV, the added cost and complexity may not be worth it if you don\u2019t have an in-house development team.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<h2><b>How Do You Actually Decide? (3-Question Gut Check)<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can narrow this down to the right platform with three questions: your dev resources, your expected order volume, and whether you&#8217;re already on WordPress.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>1. Do You Have Developers or a Dev Budget?<\/b><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>None:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Shopify<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Some (freelancer or occasional help):<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> WooCommerce<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Dedicated in-house team:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Magento<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><b>2.
