It offers limitless customization options with over 100 payment gateways available, making it an attractive choice for businesses looking for flexibility and control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Free Open-Source Software for eCommerce Integration<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The primary advantage of WooCommerce lies in its free and open-source nature. Unlike Shopify, which charges a monthly fee based on your chosen plan, you can set up a fully functional ecommerce store with WooCommerce without any upfront costs (excluding web hosting fees). This makes it particularly appealing to startups or small businesses operating on tight budgets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Over 100 Payment Gateways Supported<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to its cost-effectiveness, another major selling point of WooCommerce is its support for numerous payment gateways. With over 100 payment gateway integrations available, online store owners have ample choices when it comes to selecting how they want customers to pay for their products or services. This includes popular options like PayPal, Stripe, and Square, as well as lesser-known alternatives catering specifically towards niche markets or specific regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WooCommerce presents a cost-efficient option for companies wishing to construct an online store with extensive customization capabilities. With its extensive range of supported payment gateways and compatibility with the widely-used WordPress platform, it&#8217;s no wonder that WooCommerce powers over <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/1220239\/worldwide-woocommerce-market-share\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/1220239\/worldwide-woocommerce-market-share\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">3 million<\/a> eCommerce stores worldwide. However, this level of customization can come at the expense of user-friendliness when compared to Shopify&#8217;s offerings &#8211; which we will explore further in the next section.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_1184ad-db, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_1184ad-db[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_1184ad-db\"]{text-align:center;font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_1184ad-db mark, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_1184ad-db[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_1184ad-db\"] mark{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading_1184ad-db wp-block-kadence-advancedheading has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_1184ad-db\"><strong>Shopify Overview<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Shopify is a complete ecommerce solution created by Tobias Lutke and Scott Lake that provides a quick-start online store design wizard for startups and small businesses.

This user-friendly approach allows even the most inexperienced entrepreneurs to create professional-looking websites without any coding knowledge or technical expertise required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Built-in Multi-Channel Integration<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to providing an intuitive website builder, Shopify also offers seamless integration with popular ecommerce platforms like Amazon, eBay, and Facebook Marketplace through its multi-channel sales feature.

subscription fees for access to their platform&#8217;s servers, WooCommerce is free open-source software that can be installed as a plugin on WordPress. However, there are still costs associated with using WooCommerce: &#8211;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Web hosting<\/strong>: Prices vary depending on your chosen web host provider.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Domain name<\/strong>: The cost of registering your domain name varies by registrar.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On average, the cost of hosting a website is $120 per year. Additionally, purchasing a domain can cost around $15 on average. However, if buying from a private seller, the price could be much higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Payment gateways<\/strong>: Fees may apply when processing payments through services like PayPal or Stripe. &#8211;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On average, the cost of shipping ranges from $0 to $108 per year. Payment gateway costs typically include a fee of 2.9% plus 30 cents per sale, as well as a monthly fee ranging from $0 to $30 per month on average.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Themes &amp; plugins<\/strong>: Additional functionalities require premium themes or paid plugins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The annual cost of premium WordPress and WooCommerce themes ranges from $20 to $100, depending on the chosen theme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Running WooCommerce Store Cost<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cost of website essentials can vary depending on the type and quality of services you choose.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_290a29-c6:not(.this-stops-third-party-issues){margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_290a29-c6 ul.kt-svg-icon-list:not(.this-prevents-issues):not(.this-stops-third-party-issues):not(.tijsloc){margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);margin-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_290a29-c6 ul.kt-svg-icon-list{grid-row-gap:23px;}.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_290a29-c6 .kb-svg-icon-wrap{color:#f3b509;}.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_290a29-c6 ul.kt-svg-icon-list .kt-svg-icon-list-item-wrap .kt-svg-icon-list-single{margin-right:20px;}.kt-svg-icon-list-items_290a29-c6 ul.kt-svg-icon-list .kt-svg-icon-list-item-wrap, .kt-svg-icon-list-items_290a29-c6 ul.kt-svg-icon-list .kt-svg-icon-list-item-wrap a{color:#000000;color:#000000;}.kt-svg-icon-list-items_290a29-c6 ul.kt-svg-icon-list .kt-svg-icon-list-level-0 .kt-svg-icon-list-single svg{font-size:20px;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_290a29-c6 ul.kt-svg-icon-list{grid-row-gap:23px;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_290a29-c6 ul.kt-svg-icon-list{grid-row-gap:23px;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-iconlist kt-svg-icon-list-items kt-svg-icon-list-items_290a29-c6 kt-svg-icon-list-columns-1 alignnone kt-list-icon-aligntop\"><ul class=\"kt-svg-icon-list\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-kadence-listitem kt-svg-icon-list-item-wrap kt-svg-icon-list-item-_9a310a-a2\"><span class=\"kb-svg-icon-wrap kb-svg-icon-fe_chevronsRight kt-svg-icon-list-single\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"  fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" ><polyline points=\"13 17 18 12 13 7\"\/><polyline points=\"6 17 11 12 6 7\"\/><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"kt-svg-icon-list-text\">Communication tools, such as email and messaging, can be free or cost up to $348 per year.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-kadence-listitem kt-svg-icon-list-item-wrap kt-svg-icon-list-item-_92249d-0f\"><span class=\"kb-svg-icon-wrap kb-svg-icon-fe_chevronsRight kt-svg-icon-list-single\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"  fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" ><polyline points=\"13 17 18 12 13 7\"\/><polyline points=\"6 17 11 12 6 7\"\/><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"kt-svg-icon-list-text\">Search engine optimization (SEO) services range from free options to paid plans that may cost up to $79 annually.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-kadence-listitem kt-svg-icon-list-item-wrap kt-svg-icon-list-item-_21ebbd-68\"><span class=\"kb-svg-icon-wrap kb-svg-icon-fe_chevronsRight kt-svg-icon-list-single\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"  fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" ><polyline points=\"13 17 18 12 13 7\"\/><polyline points=\"6 17 11 12 6 7\"\/><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"kt-svg-icon-list-text\">Security measures for your website also come with varying price tags, ranging from no-cost options to premium plans that could set you back up to $300 per year.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-kadence-listitem kt-svg-icon-list-item-wrap kt-svg-icon-list-item-_372d98-3c\"><span class=\"kb-svg-icon-wrap kb-svg-icon-fe_chevronsRight kt-svg-icon-list-single\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"  fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" ><polyline points=\"13 17 18 12 13 7\"\/><polyline points=\"6 17 11 12 6 7\"\/><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"kt-svg-icon-list-text\">While SSL certificates are typically available for free, some providers may charge up to $65 annually for this essential security feature.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In conclusion, Shopify\u2019s pricing plans offer different features at varying prices, while WooCommerce offers free open-source software but requires additional expenses such as web hosting and payment gateway fees.

Both WooCommerce and Shopify offer excellent choices in terms of multilingual stores and affiliate\/referral systems; however, they differ significantly in terms of their respective dashboard designs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Dashboard Design Differences Between the Two Platforms<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>WooCommerce:<\/strong> As an extension of the popular WordPress content management system, WooCommerce&#8217;s dashboard can be somewhat cluttered for users who are not familiar with WordPress. This may lead to a steeper learning curve for those new to website building or managing an online store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Shopify:<\/strong> On the other hand, Shopify has designed its platform specifically for eCommerce purposes. The result is a sleeker layout that makes it easier for online store owners to navigate through various settings and options without feeling overwhelmed by unnecessary features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Official Support Channels Comparison<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to design differences, another aspect that sets these two platforms apart is their official support channels available to users:<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_5a4963-ea:not(.this-stops-third-party-issues){margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_5a4963-ea ul.kt-svg-icon-list:not(.this-prevents-issues):not(.this-stops-third-party-issues):not(.tijsloc){margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);margin-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_5a4963-ea ul.kt-svg-icon-list{grid-row-gap:23px;}.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_5a4963-ea .kb-svg-icon-wrap{color:#f3b509;}.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_5a4963-ea ul.kt-svg-icon-list .kt-svg-icon-list-item-wrap .kt-svg-icon-list-single{margin-right:20px;}.kt-svg-icon-list-items_5a4963-ea ul.kt-svg-icon-list .kt-svg-icon-list-item-wrap, .kt-svg-icon-list-items_5a4963-ea ul.kt-svg-icon-list .kt-svg-icon-list-item-wrap a{color:#000000;color:#000000;}.kt-svg-icon-list-items_5a4963-ea ul.kt-svg-icon-list .kt-svg-icon-list-level-0 .kt-svg-icon-list-single svg{font-size:20px;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_5a4963-ea ul.kt-svg-icon-list{grid-row-gap:23px;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_5a4963-ea ul.kt-svg-icon-list{grid-row-gap:23px;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-iconlist kt-svg-icon-list-items kt-svg-icon-list-items_5a4963-ea kt-svg-icon-list-columns-1 alignnone kt-list-icon-aligntop\"><ul class=\"kt-svg-icon-list\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-kadence-listitem kt-svg-icon-list-item-wrap kt-svg-icon-list-item-_476472-de\"><span class=\"kb-svg-icon-wrap kb-svg-icon-fe_chevronsRight kt-svg-icon-list-single\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"  fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" ><polyline points=\"13 17 18 12 13 7\"\/><polyline points=\"6 17 11 12 6 7\"\/><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"kt-svg-icon-list-text\"><strong>Email Marketing:<\/strong> Email marketing services like Mailchimp integrate seamlessly with both platforms making it easy for you as a business owner or marketer to manage your email campaigns directly from either WooCommerce or Shopify&#8217;s app store.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-kadence-listitem kt-svg-icon-list-item-wrap kt-svg-icon-list-item-_f5776f-4a\"><span class=\"kb-svg-icon-wrap kb-svg-icon-fe_chevronsRight kt-svg-icon-list-single\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"  fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" ><polyline points=\"13 17 18 12 13 7\"\/><polyline points=\"6 17 11 12 6 7\"\/><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"kt-svg-icon-list-text\"><strong>User Support:<\/strong> With WooCommerce being open-source software, users are primarily reliant on community forums and self-help resources for support. While this can be helpful, it may not provide the immediate assistance that some online store owners require. Shopify offers official support channels, including live chat calls &amp; emails, available 24\/7. This means Shopify users don&#8217;t have to rely solely on community-driven help but can access dedicated customer service representatives who are knowledgeable about the platform and its features.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>For those looking for a more streamlined experience with dedicated customer service options, Shopify may be the better choice; however, if you prefer an open-source solution with greater customization potential at your fingertips (and don&#8217;t mind navigating a cluttered dashboard), WooCommerce could still be a viable option for your online business needs.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_b8e922-9d, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_b8e922-9d[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_b8e922-9d\"]{text-align:center;font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_b8e922-9d mark, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_b8e922-9d[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_b8e922-9d\"] mark{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading_b8e922-9d wp-block-kadence-advancedheading has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_b8e922-9d\"><strong>Scalability Factors<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>WooCommerce:<\/strong> Being an open-source platform built on the popular WordPress content management system, WooCommerce boasts a vast array of free plugins available for download from the official WooCommerce repository or third-party developers. This allows users to customize their ecommerce site without spending too much money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Shopify:<\/strong> Unlike Shopify&#8217;s open-source counterpart, most add-ons available for this platform come with a price tag. Although Shopify&#8217;s app store features some free apps, many essential tools required by online stores are premium ones that require monthly subscriptions or one-time fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Theme Quality and Customization<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to theme quality and availability, both Shopify and WooCommerce offer a variety of ready-to-use premium templates\/themes for your online store. However, some argue that WooCommerce&#8217;s selection isn&#8217;t quite up to par with Shopify&#8217;s offerings.

offer features that can help improve your website&#8217;s SEO, but which one is more search engine friendly? Let&#8217;s take a closer look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>WooCommerce: Optimized for SEO Out-of-the-Box<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for a platform that prioritizes SEO, then WooCommerce might be the better choice. The code used by WooCommerce is optimized for search engines right out of the box. This means that you don&#8217;t need to do much work to ensure your website ranks well in Google searches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to this, WooCommerce allows users to customize their URLs and add meta descriptions and titles on product pages easily. These measures are essential when it comes to improving your chances of appearing in relevant search results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To further enhance its SEO capabilities, there are plenty of plugins available specifically designed for optimizing websites built with WordPress content management system (CMS). Some popular ones include Yoast SEO and The SEO Framework &#8211; both offering powerful tools that give you more control over your on-page optimization efforts while providing actionable tips based on industry best practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Shopify: Basic Optimization Features Available<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While Shopify doesn&#8217;t have as many built-in optimization features as WooCommerce does out-of-the-box, basic optimization features like creating descriptions and titles for product pages are still readily available through its user-friendly interface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Shopify App Store also offers several helpful plugins, such as SEO Booster, which scans stores and generates detailed reports about potential optimizations needed so online store owners can implement them into their strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_32167d-52, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_32167d-52[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_32167d-52\"]{text-align:center;font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_32167d-52 mark, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_32167d-52[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_32167d-52\"] mark{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading_32167d-52 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_32167d-52\"><strong>WooCommerce vs. Shopify: How Secure Is Each Platform?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to running an online store, security should be a top priority. With the rise of cyber threats and data breaches, protecting your customers&#8217; information is crucial for building trust and maintaining a successful business.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Shopify&#8217;s Built-in Security Features As a hosted platform<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Shopify takes responsibility for securing its users&#8217; stores against hackers. The platform offers some essential security features built-in, including an SSL certificate that encrypts sensitive customer data during transmission.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, Shopify regularly updates its software to address any potential vulnerabilities or security issues that may arise. Additionally, all payment transactions on Shopify are processed through their own payment gateway called &#8220;Shopify Payments,&#8221; which meets the highest level of Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance standards.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Securing Your WooCommerce Store&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>WooCommerce does not come with built-in security features like SSL certificates or firewalls. You will need to take extra steps yourself by installing various WordPress plugins designed specifically to enhance your site&#8217;s overall protection from hackers and malware attacks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One such plugin is Sucuri Security Suite &#8211; a popular option among eCommerce businesses using WordPress as their CMS. This plugin creates &#8216;known good&#8217; classifications for all directories making up your online store, so if there are any suspicious activities detected within these files, then Sucuri notifies you immediately about them.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_71f97f-da, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_71f97f-da[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_71f97f-da\"]{text-align:center;font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_71f97f-da mark, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_71f97f-da[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_71f97f-da\"] mark{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading_71f97f-da wp-block-kadence-advancedheading has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_71f97f-da\"><strong>International Shipping&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now let\u2019s compare WooCommerce and Shopify&#8217;s international shipping capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>International Shipping Capabilities Comparison<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>WooCommerce, being a free open-source software integrated into WordPress, allows for greater flexibility when it comes to international shipping options. You can choose from various shipping methods, including flat-rate shipping or live rates from popular carriers like UPS or FedEx. Additionally, you can also integrate third-party plugins that help manage customs documentation and taxes more efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In contrast, Shopify offers its built-in solution called <strong><em>Shopify Shipping<\/em><\/strong>, which simplifies the process of setting up domestic and international shipping rates by partnering with major carriers such as USPS, DHL Express, UPS &amp; Canada Post, among others. However, this service is only available for merchants located in certain countries (<strong><em>Australia, New Zealand, The United States,&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong>and<strong><em>&nbsp;Canada<\/em><\/strong>).<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_14e650-0a,

If ease of use is a priority and you don&#8217;t mind paying transaction fees, Shopify might be the better choice for you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But if customization options are more important and you want complete control over your online store without having to pay extra fees per sale, then WooCommerce could be the best option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it&#8217;s important to note that using Shopify does come at a cost &#8211; you don&#8217;t own the platform and must pay transaction fees on every sale made through your site unless you use their proprietary payment gateway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The downside of WooCommerce lies in web hosting requirements. As WooCommerce is a self-hosted solution, you\u2019ll need to choose your own web host and ensure it\u2019s optimized for eCommerce in order to get the most out of this platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re still unsure which platform to choose for your online store or need help optimizing your current one, contact Us!
