Choosing an e-commerce platform
| Platform | Best for | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| Shopify | Fast, reliable D2C stores with standard checkout | Monthly plan and app fees; transaction fees unless you use Shopify Payments |
| WooCommerce | Content-rich stores already on WordPress | Hosting, security updates and plugin conflicts are your responsibility |
| Adobe Commerce / Magento | Large catalogues and complex B2B rules | Higher build and hosting effort |
| Custom (Laravel) | Marketplaces, unusual pricing or deep ERP integration | More build effort; you own every feature |
| Headless | Very fast front-ends and multiple storefronts | Two systems to maintain |
Costs people forget
- Product data: photos, descriptions and variant setup for every SKU.
- Payment gateway fees per transaction and settlement delays.
- Shipping integrations, returns flow and delivery-area rules.
- Taxes such as GST, VAT and invoices in the required format.
- Monthly platform, theme and app subscriptions.
- Ongoing SEO and marketing to bring the first customers.
Migrating without losing sales
- Export products, customers and order history from the old platform.
- Map every old product and category URL to its new address with 301 redirects.
- Recreate discount codes, gift cards and customer accounts.
- Test checkout, taxes and shipping with real orders before switching DNS.
- Watch Search Console and conversion rate closely for the first weeks.
