Shopify vs WooCommerce — A Brief Overview
The best feature I liked about both Shopify and WooCommerce is that they are very user-friendly, easy to use even for a complete newbie. Both have an amazing user interface for creating simple tasks like a basic contact page, privacy page, listing products and more. The main difference is that Shopify is an online tool/service, whereas WooCommerce is a stand-alone software you need to install yourself.
If you want to use Shopify, all you need to do is go to Shopify and sign up for an account. Once done, you just go through the quick guide for setting up your store, and your ecommerce store is up and running.
Now what about WooCommerce? To use it as your ecommerce platform, you have to do a lot more steps compared to Shopify:
1. First, buy a domain and web hosting where you’ll get the default version of WordPress.
2. Pick a theme for your website plus a handful of plugins to make your job easier.
3. Install a plugin like WooCommerce to provide all the essential features for managing an ecommerce store.
4. Go through the configuration process of the ecommerce store, and you’re done.
This is the common difference between Shopify and WooCommerce.
