FAQ

Choosing a platform

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

Which e-commerce platform is best?

There is no single best platform. Shopify is the fastest route for most D2C brands, WooCommerce gives full ownership on WordPress, Wix suits small stores, Shopware excels at complex and B2B commerce in Europe, and BigCommerce combines SaaS with open APIs and strong B2B features.

Shopify or WooCommerce — which should I choose?

Choose Shopify if you want low maintenance and fast time to market. Choose WooCommerce if you need full control over code, hosting and data, or already run a large WordPress site.

Can you help us choose a platform?

Yes. In a short discovery we review your catalogue, operations, integrations, team and budget, and recommend the platform with the best long-term fit — even if that means staying where you are.

Can we switch platforms later?

Yes. We handle SEO-safe migrations between all major platforms, including products, customers, orders and redirects.

Not sure which platform fits?

Share a few details about your products, team and goals. We'll recommend a platform and outline what a build would look like.
