Which platform should run your own store?

Compare Shopify, BigCommerce, WooCommerce and Wix on control, upkeep and total cost.

The decision

Hosted platforms reduce technical upkeep. WooCommerce gives more hosting and extension control. At $400K–$2M in annual sales, price the actual plan, gateway, apps, hosting and marketing.

In Skuvelo, Shopify is Live; BigCommerce is Beta; WooCommerce is Live; Wix eCommerce is Live.
