Hosted Platforms

Shopify is the easiest way to start selling online. BigCommerce offers more features without transaction fees. Squarespace is best for design-focused brands. All handle hosting, security, and updates for you.

Self-Hosted Options

WooCommerce on WordPress gives you maximum flexibility and control. Magento (Adobe Commerce) is for enterprise-scale operations. Self-hosting means more responsibility but also more freedom.

Headless Commerce

Medusa (open source), Saleor, and Commerce.js for developers who want to build custom storefronts. Pair with Next.js for blazing-fast, SEO-optimized shopping experiences.

Choosing the Right Platform

Consider your technical skills, budget, catalog size, and growth plans. Start with Shopify if you want speed-to-market. Choose headless if you need custom experiences. Use WooCommerce if you're already on WordPress.
