How to choose your platform

An honest guide to making the right decision

We're not going to sell you a platform. We're going to help you choose the one that makes sense for your business. These are the questions you should ask yourself:

Digital presence

Ecommerce continues to grow strongly worldwide. But growth only benefits those who choose their platform wisely.

  • How unique is your business?. If you sell standard products with normal flows, WooCommerce or Shopify work perfectly. If you have dynamic pricing, product configurators, or complex integrations, consider custom development.
  • How do you prefer to pay?. Shopify charges monthly + commission per sale. WooCommerce has no commissions but requires hosting and maintenance. Custom has higher initial investment but zero dependencies.
  • How much control do you need?. Shopify is easy but limited in deep customization. WooCommerce is flexible but requires technical management. Custom gives you total control over every aspect.

There's no universally better platform. The right one depends on your business model, technical resources, budget, and growth plans. The important thing is to choose with information, not marketing.

What's the real difference between Custom, WooCommerce, and Shopify?
Custom development gives you total control without third-party dependencies, ideal for unique business models. WooCommerce is open source on WordPress, no platform fees but requires technical management. Shopify is all-in-one: you pay monthly and commissions but don't worry about servers or updates.
How do I know which platform is right for my business?
It depends on three factors: how unique your business model is (standard vs. customized flows), how you prefer to pay (initial investment vs. recurring costs), and how many technical resources you have or want to have. In our free consultation, we analyze these factors with you.
Can I migrate from one platform to another later?
Yes, but it has costs and complexity. We migrate catalogs, customers, and historical orders while protecting SEO. Ideally, choose well from the start, but if your business changed and you need another platform, we can help you migrate without losing data or rankings.
What payment methods can I integrate?
All major ones: PayPal, Stripe, Square, and bank transfers. Integration varies by platform. Shopify has its own native methods. With WooCommerce and custom development, we have more flexibility to integrate local gateways.
How much does it cost to develop an online store?
It depends on the platform and complexity. A basic WooCommerce store has lower initial investment than Shopify long-term (due to commissions). Custom development requires higher initial investment but zero future dependencies. In the free consultation, we can give you a realistic range based on your needs.
What happens after launch?
We offer maintenance plans that include security updates, backups, performance monitoring, and technical support. We can also help you with conversion optimization, SEO, and new features as your business grows.
