  • powerful B2B and multi-channel capabilities,
  • advanced custom integrations for enterprise systems,
  • high flexibility for complex e-commerce needs.

Disadvantages of Shopware:

  • requires server hosting and infrastructure management,
  • higher technical maintenance costs,
  • development resources often needed for customization,
  • more complex setup for smaller teams.

  • fully hosted SaaS with no server management,
  • automatic updates, backups, and PCI security compliance,
  • large app marketplace for feature expansion,
  • multi-channel selling through marketplaces and social media.

Disadvantages of Shopify:

  • monthly subscription and app fees,
