Shopify vs Adobe Commerce Comparison

Easy implementation of plug-ins for quick sales, product plug ins and inventory.

Unable to move big commerce over without hefty fees

The fact that you can have your own website up and running in a matter of minutes

Nothing. It is the best software for e-commerce

It is really easy to set-up and personalize your e-commerce. There are a lot of plug-ins that can help you to add what is still missing from the platform.

Not easy to set up a multi-lingual e-commerce.

Accessibility, user friendly interface. Pricing was better than other e-commerce solutions. Easy for start-up e-commerce solutions.

A lot of supplemental coding needed, apps installed to get exactly what you need and want.

1) Good customer support 2) Value for money 3) Good for customers with less or no coding information. They too can use it

Function wise it is still far behind the Woo commerce

I like the fact that you can easily purchase and sell anywhere to any person.

I liked everything about it, I have no complaints.

Shopify makes it easy to set up an online store, include shipping, item details etc. It's all built in a ready for you to fill in the blanks. They have templates you can customise to make it look professional and clean,

Because it's a template system, you can tell if you're looking for that but no one really cares these days.

The user interface is great. Very easy to use and pick up. Everything is ordered well and easily accessible. I find the search bar incredibly useful as well whenever I want to quickly navigate to a specific setting. The customer support is incredible. Whenever I come across a problem I contact Shopify support through chat and they are very responsive and extremely pleasant.

The only downside to an extremely useful tool is the transaction fees. Each transaction there is a 2 percent transaction fee that is charged to the account.

Very very simple to use, easy to set up with guides & support from Shopify team, seamless experience. Highly recommend Shopify if you want to set up a fuss free ecommerce site.

Price is mid-tier but for the functions and features it's a good deal for USD/Euros based businesses.

Easy to use Free trial Easy to join with drop shipping companies Very premium quality

A bit expensive if you are new in the e-commerce business

It gives various integrated customization features. It is user-friendly.

The free trial version does not have all the features.

Gave every chance to have a online business

Not user friendly if you not use to the e-commerce industry

Shopify is not a cheap solution for e-commerce but I always like to use the best solutions. What I like the most about Shopify is that there are no limitations for a number of products and categories. Shopify is one of the most simple and easy to use platforms I've worked with.

I had a little trouble linking Shopify to an existing Amazon listing and could not find someone that could help with this.

Easy set up and interface for new users. Offers customization, as well as marketing options.

Software does not have a free version, and costs can add up rather quickly.

Shopify is a crazy good product for e-commerce stores. It is super simple to sign up and start selling. The app marketplace (I think that's what it is called) has an incredible amount of add on's that can enhance your store. Out of the box though, Shopify provides everything to get started. I compare Shopify to Wordpress, it's in the same realm, although different markets. If you are thinking about starting an e-commerce site, Shopify is where you should start!

It's truly a great product and therefore finding a con is pretty hard. I would say the marketplace to sell your store (can't remember the name) could be improved. Because of the way it is setup, you end up with a ton of generic replies and it becomes a waste of time responding to them all. However, this is such a small part of the overall experience that it's not a big deal.

It is an all in one solution for drop shippers. Setting up your website s is extremely easy and they also have professional templates that can be customised to match your need. Shopify has a 14 day trial that lets you set up your shop and try our various products before you go live with their subscription. Although they charge monthly but it is easily justified with all the amazing features they offer. Shopify also supports amazing apps like Oberlo and Mailchimp etc for maintaining inventory, cart recovery, mass mailers and customer support .

No complaints at all. Shopify is one of the best E-commerce platforms

E-commerce platform that does more than just your items. Features blogging that really helps businesses boost their marketing.

A bit expensive that the other e-commerce platforms availble in the market.

The possibilities it provides in the space of e-commerce are unmatched. I use it to design e-commerce portals for my freelance clients.

I would love to see a free plan with ads which is not available at the moment.

Easy to use and tweak. Easy to understand. Customized themes are helpful to save time. Abandoned cart

If you don't use shopify payments it will be expensive.

Interesting Customizable Themes In built Marketing In built SEO USER friendly interface

It lacks good free apps to manage the software Lacking plug-in / integrations

Good for making an e-commerce store, there a many options in the e-commerce category and you don't have to think so much about security.

It is not open source like WordPress, so there is not the same amount of options in terms of payment gateways and other things.

Un très bon logiciel pour l'e-commerce très simple, fiable et sécurisé permet également de créer mes boutiques en ligne très bon et efficace pour la vente en ligne. C'est le meilleur

Un très bon logiciel de e-commerce. Je n'ai aucun problème pour le moment

I liked how easy the software was to set up and how everything is fully integrated—no need to slap together a bunch of plugins.

If you wanted to customize aspects of your site, you need to understand how to code to make modifications.

There really isn't any other option for creating your e-commerce store that's better than shopify. Tons of templates, add-ons and features to make selling products online feel like you can compete with the biggest brands.

Overall my experience was positive, but a con would be that it takes a lot of work and effort to get your store at the optimal level you'd like it to be. Lots of customizing, tweaking, finding the right add-ons and apps can be daunting, but they exist and you just need to find the right ones.

Beginners friendly e-commerce plaforn Easy to setup

The monthly subscriptions are expensive

Magento was easy to use and I was able to get an ecommerce store setup quickly. Definitely meant for small-medium businesses. Allows you to fully customize your store and truly give your store a unique look.

Non-technical users may have a hard time using the platform and require assistant from a programmer; especially if you require additional functionality that any plugins cannot provide.

This is the best online store building software. Less fees like shopify

I have been using it for years and I have found no drawbacks, I recommend

very good software to create your online store, domain name available, and the costs are lower than shopify and bigcommerce

not ideal for dropshipping because the aliexpress connection is more technical

- Open Source and Free - Best Community Support - Latest Version updates - Multistore - Multi language - Multi Currency and many more feature which can only Achieve by custom costly development - Best Payment Gateways inbuilt like Paypal, Brain tree, Kalrna etc Best Available Ecommerece Solution in the Market

- Speed of magento is horrible - Theme is Expensive - Extension are expensive - Developers are Expensive - Complicated Structure

Very good for large stores that want complete customization but if you're smaller and don't want to hire a developer and have to wait weeks for minor updates it may not be for you.

There is not customer support just community support, you will also need a developer to handle most customizations. It is not user friendly like Shopify.

Magento has been around a long time and has many stable patches released, community of forums and help along with long list of extensions/plugins. Magento structure is nice for keeping up and learning MVC. The free community edition is already enough to run full fledge e-commerce site as well as given the option to do multi-stores in the same account. As a developer i did not want a out of the block low-coding to start off with (wordpress/shopify) so its a great tool to keep up with.

Magento initially always tends to be pretty slow. The admin procedures such as exports, updating, backup, etc all seem a little unstable at times. Understanding your current state and limit of scalability(before improving it some other way) always seems questionable or hard to gauge at first.

Everybody says that Magento has a lot of functionalities and that, if you have a really big catalog of products, Magento is for you. I am not sure why WooCommerce or Shopify wouldn't be good for a very big catalog, though. In my case, I used Magento only once and its admin panel had such a bad UX, that I just asked my customer to switch to Shopify.

The worst control panel UX I ever saw in a CMS. Probably the version my customer had installed was not the newest, however it should be not older than 2-3 years old, and the UX looked like websites in the 90s!! I think the UX of your control panel can really make potential users leave if it is not excellent.

The Adobe Commerce platform is definitely for stores that are more established and have a web developer either on staff or at their disposal to make the necessary changes and upgrades. While I'd say it's more complex than Shopify in that instance, there is a lot more functionality out of the box, whereas Shopify is very App heavy to get a certain functionality to work on your store.

If you do not have a developer at your disposal, working with this platform is probably going to be a bit of a struggle. I'd consider myself a rung above beginner within HTML/Website related things and I have to rely on our developer for things for sure.

Are you looking for a solution in eCommerce? Magento provides you the solution of eCommerce. Magento makes your investments very worthwhile even if it is your main business. It has been recommended as one of the best solutions to eCommerce since it is flexible and scalable. It has also become so much popular for the fact many companies bear its name. Pros - 1. It is user-friendly. Magento’s administration...

Cons- 1. Only the community version of Magento is cheap. The other versions of Magento including support and enterprise and the premium enterprise versions aren’t freely available. Their prices are very high for every person to afford. 2. Magento can only be hosted on dedicated servers. Since it is large, it can’t be hosted in small servers that aren’t dedicated because it needs to be configured. 3. It requires a lot of time to customize using magneto. The architecture who have designed it have made it complicated and hence it takes a lot of time to learn the learning curve and make customizations as compared to other eCommerce solutions.

Lots of features, and plugins to extend the feature set. This has all the features you will likely need to launch a successful ecommerce store.

Compared to other solutions this requires a lot of hosting hardware to work, and more specialised IT skills to maintain. If you're hosting a mid to small project, then look for Shopify or woocommerce.

If you are planning to start your small e-commerce business you have couple of options like Magento and Shopify. Great advantage of Magenta is it being self-hosted service, meaning you have full control over your store and it fully belongs to you. You can not have this flexibility with Shopify and if they do. Kt want to do business with you, your store is gone - deleted. With Magento you will not loose your store website if something goes wrong.

Having self-hosted service comes with maintaining work, also knos-how. There is a detailed online instructions and user forums, but when you are srtuck with small details, you are on your own. You need to know javascript and html to be able to start doing major work. In comparison to Shopify, this maintenance work is done by them, so you can focus on your sales.
