WooCommerce or Shopify: how I actually decide
Four questions about your catalogue, your team and your margins. The answers usually pick the platform for you.

I build on both. The right one depends on four questions.
Who will run the store day to day?
A non-technical team that wants zero maintenance leans Shopify.
How unusual is the catalogue?
Complex product logic, bookings or custom pricing rules lean WooCommerce.
What are the margins?
Shopify transaction and app fees add up on thin margins.
Where does content matter?
If content marketing drives sales, WordPress with WooCommerce keeps it all in one place.
