We build online stores on both Shopify and WooCommerce, so we don't have a horse in this race. Here's how we help clients decide.
Choose Shopify if…
- You want a secure, hosted platform with minimal maintenance
- Your priority is selling products simply and reliably
- You expect to grow and want a platform that scales easily
- You'd rather pay a predictable monthly fee than manage hosting and updates
Choose WooCommerce if…
- Content and blogging are central to your marketing
- You need very custom functionality or unusual product types
- You already have a WordPress site you want to keep
- You want full control over hosting and data
What about SEO?
Both platforms can rank very well when they're built properly. Site speed, structure and content matter far more than the platform itself.
The bottom line
For most product-led businesses we recommend Shopify. For content-led businesses or complex requirements, WooCommerce often wins. Not sure which is right for you? Speak to our ecommerce team.
