Which Platform Would You Choose for Creating an eCommerce Website: Shopify or WordPress WooCommerce

I’d love to hear your experiences and recommendations. Which platform do you think is better suited for an eCommerce business, especially one focused on niche markets like balloon delivery? Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated!

I would choose Woo just because it’s not a paid SaaS platform. I have never used either of them in production before, so can’t help you much there.

However, I can say that you may need premium hosting if you want to run anything other then a tiny Woo store here on free hosting.

You’re asking this question on a website hosting provider, so obviously the only right answer is to use something that you can actually host here (or can host yourself at all): WooCommerce.

Shopify starts at €21 per month, WooCommerce is free and a premium hosting account only costs around $5 per month. And since you’re asking it here, I think it’s safe to assume you’re cost conscious, by which time choosing WooCommerce is a no-brainer.

I asked this question because I want to do dropshipping.

You can run a dropshipping operation with WooCommerce: https://woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-dropshipping/
