Magento vs Shopify – why is it worth choosing the Shopify solution?

Do you know that Shopify currently supports over 3.75 million live stores all over the world? On the other hand, there are around 160,000 live stores running on the Magento platform. Statistics speak for themselves so many business owners at some point decide to migrate their e-commerce processes to Shopify Plus. However, different businesses have different needs. Therefore, we’ll find the best solution for you during the discovery workshop at the very beginning of our collaboration. In the meantime, let’s introduce some of Shopify’s pros:

Ease of use

Shopify has been designed to help business owners build and manage their online stores. Therefore, it’s more straightforward than any other platform. You need minimal effort and time to maintain your Shopify store whereas Magento requires some technical knowledge. The ease of use is strongly connected with the total cost of platform ownership. Also, when you choose a SaaS solution like Shopify, your store (and its features) grows automatically with your business growth.

Security

Shopify offers a great security system when compared to other platforms. All patches are installed by Shopify’s team. The platform is fully compliant and provides SSL encryption to manage the private data of customers.

Features

Shopify offers a nice variety of features for e-commerce management. You can easily manage all your business operations. When it comes to storefronts, you can choose out of 70 themes and enjoy mobile-friendly solutions. At WeCanFly, we can also create a fully customized storefront if you want to make sure your design is 100% unique. Shopify’s shopping cart offers a free SSL certificate and intuitive payment gateway installation. Managing the store is easy, as well as inventory management. You have access to powerful analytics.

Plugins

There are numerous plugins for accounting, shipping, and customer service available to Shopify users running their e-commerce platforms. Shopify offers around 1,500 add-ons for free.

Speed and performance

Speed and performance are of the utmost importance when it comes to e-commerce websites. Spotify stores usually have a faster loading time than Magento ones. Also, it supports headless e-commerce.

Support

Shopify clients can easily get assistance with any technical issues that may arise. There is 24/7 support available, plus, the big community. On the other hand, Magento dedicated 24/7 support can be only found in Magento Commerce and Commerce Cloud.
