Why Choose WooCommerce Over Shopify
WooCommerce offers greater control, customisation, and cost-effectiveness, making it an ideal choice for businesses looking to scale with more flexibility and lower ongoing costs. Here are some reasons why to choose WooCommerce:
1. Cost-Effective
WooCommerce is a free plugin for WordPress, meaning you only pay for hosting and any premium features. Shopify charges a monthly subscription starting at $39/month and adds transaction fees unless you use Shopify Payments.2. Full Customisation
WooCommerce offers complete flexibility with full access to its code, allowing you to fully customise your store. Shopify has some customisation options but is more limited unless you hire a developer.
3. Control & Ownership
With WooCommerce, you own your site and data. Shopify is a hosted platform, meaning you have less control over your store and are tied to Shopify’s infrastructure.
4. Scalability
WooCommerce can easily scale with your business. You’re not limited by product numbers or site features, unlike Shopify’s tiered pricing structure.
5. Better SEO & Content
WooCommerce, built on WordPress, offers superior SEO tools and easier content management (blogs, guides, etc.), helping you drive organic traffic.
6. No Monthly Fees
Aside from hosting, WooCommerce doesn’t charge monthly fees, while Shopify requires ongoing subscriptions that increase with your sales.
7. Advanced Features
WooCommerce supports complex product types, subscriptions, and integrations, offering more flexibility as your business grows.
8. Developer-Friendly
If you have coding skills, WooCommerce allows for deep customisation and bespoke features, while Shopify may require third-party apps for advanced functionality.
