Advantages of Shopify:

  • fully hosted with built-in security and updates,
  • quick setup with intuitive interface,
  • large app marketplace for extending functionality,
  • reliable SaaS infrastructure with 24/7 support.

  • monthly subscription and app costs,
  • limited backend access for deep customizations,
  • restrictions on advanced B2B or enterprise workflows,
  • transaction fees with third-party payment providers.
