How to decide

When to choose Wix, and when to choose ikas

Both platforms can run a successful store. The right choice depends on your catalogue, your team, your budget and where you plan to sell.

Wix

Wix is an all-in-one website builder with a built-in store. It is managed visually in the Wix editor and can be extended with Wix apps and Velo code.

Choose Wix if

  • You run a small catalogue or a service business adding a shop
  • You want to edit the site visually yourself
  • You want website, content and store in one tool
  • You want low running effort and predictable costs

Keep in mind

  • Less suited to large catalogues and complex operations
  • Fewer integrations and less control over checkout than larger platforms

ikas

ikas is a fully hosted commerce platform from Turkey. Local payment, shipping and marketplace integrations are built in, so a store can go live without assembling them one by one.

Choose ikas if

  • You sell primarily in Turkey
  • You need local payment, shipping and marketplace integrations out of the box
  • You want a fast hosted storefront without running servers
  • You want Turkish-language tooling and support

Keep in mind

  • Smaller app and theme ecosystem than the global platforms
  • Fewer agencies and third-party integrations outside Turkey

FAQ

Wix vs ikas FAQ

Can't find your answer? Talk to our team.

Both are hosted and beginner-friendly. Wix is a general website builder with a store attached; ikas is a dedicated commerce platform with the local integrations merchants in Turkey need.

It depends on what you count. Wix: Monthly subscription on a plan that includes e-commerce. ikas: Subscription plans; no platform commission on sales. Compare the total cost over two or three years — platform fees, apps or extensions, hosting, development and maintenance — rather than the monthly price alone.

Maintenance effort on Wix: Low. On ikas: Low. Hosted platforms take care of servers, security patches and updates for you; self-hosted platforms leave that work to you or your agency.

Yes, in either direction. We move products, customers, order history and content, map every old URL to its new address with 301 redirects, and rehearse the go-live so that sales and search rankings carry over.
