We might have the answer. Soon after the pandemic hit the world, the physical stores in most parts of the world shut down &#8211; due to the contagiousness of the novel COVID-19. With that, citizens across the world have started paying more heed to online selling &amp; buying and it continues to grow strong every passing day.<\/p>\n<p>Sniffing the trend, some smart people have decided to either completely shift their business to online or add online selling into the marketing mix.<\/p>\n<p>To function stores online and sell the items, there\u2019s a need for a platform that hosts the store. Since you\u2019re here reading the content, you\u2019re planning to open an online store and are actively looking for a better option to host your store on. Since WordPress is a well-known content management system and website builder, you want to know whether WordPress is good for eCommerce websites.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WordPress can be potent for an eCommerce website\/store or can be totally fatal &#8211; depending upon the business need. For example, for a business with a few products, WordPress is the best option and for stores with a 100s product list \u2014 other options could be better. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Is it enough to drive a decision?<\/p>\n<p>Well, there are so many factors combined to formulate a decision, and by the end of the post you will know<br \/>\nWhen you could use WordPress for eCommerce and when to shift to other popular eCommerce platforms like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shopify.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Shopify<\/a> and Magento.<\/p>\n<p>When to host a <a href=\"https:\/\/zeracreative.com\/services\/website\/ecommerce\/\">website on WordPress<\/a> and when shouldn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>WordPress is secured for ecommerce websites and does it provide better security?<\/p>\n<p>What is the <strong>one reason<\/strong> why WordPress has become a no-brainer? Even if all other requirements go against the decision<\/p>\n<p>So, without further ado, let\u2019s dive into considerations,<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Consideration_before_choosing_any_host_for_your_store\"><\/span>Consideration before choosing any host for your store<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Size_of_your_store_drives_your_choice\"><\/span>The Size of your store drives your choice<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>The size and the products in your eCommerce store are the key factors in driving the decision.<\/p>\n<p>Stores that are big and have a lot of products require prompt handling, which includes clear listings, sleek and intuitive navigations, and much more. Whereas, small stores with fewer products don\u2019t need outrageous handling.<\/p>\n<p>That says if the store is big enough, it would have more problems, especially in regard to maintenance of server and theme. Since WordPress\u2019s WooCommerce is open-source and extremely customizable with third-party plugins and themes, it risks the potential of breaking your store.<br \/>\nHow?<br \/>\nThe plugins and theme used could have loopholes and errands for malicious coding\u2013any abrupt changes could damage the site completely. Routine maintenance could waste a lot of time- which you could invest in doing something productive for your business.<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, there are a lot of amazing and huge eCommerce stores based on WordPress\u2019s WooCommerce and are running smoothly. The fact is, these stores used highly paid themes and well-coded glitch-free plugins, backed up by good web hosts. Alongside this, it requires maintenance fees.<\/p>\n<p>However, if your store doesn\u2019t require prompt handling, and doesn&#8217;t have a tremendous number of products, you can build your eCommerce store on WordPress. In fact, it\u2019s one of the best CRMs in terms of user-friendliness, posting, maintaining, and updating. And best for small to mid-sized.<\/p>\n<p>Summing it up, stores that are huge with 100s of products are better hosted on other amazing WooCommerce alternatives (there\u2019s a downside, discussed below). Whereas, WordPress\u2019s WooCommerce is potent for websites that have a few products.<\/p>\n<p>We have discussed the impact of size. And now let\u2019s discuss an amazing Woocomerce alternative.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Shopify_VS_WordPress_Vs_Magento_for_Ecommerce\"><\/span>Shopify VS WordPress Vs Magento for Ecommerce<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This is one of the fierce debates. Some savvy marketers believe WordPress\u2019s WooCommerce has more to offer, some believe Magento has amazing features for eCommerce, and some marketers vouch for Shopify, and believe Shopify has an edge over others.<\/p>\n<p>In reality, all claims can be correct depending on your needs. Let\u2019s compare together to determine which one is better for your needs.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Themes_Plugins\"><\/span>Themes &amp; Plugins<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Shopify offers a classy set of well-designed templates. This means, that all their themes are professionally designed &#8211; even plugins come with no glitches. Whereas, the number of WordPress themes and plugins is second to none in terms of quantity. But can be hazardous to choose among the best. In simple terms, businesses with no or little technical knowledge can start a store on Shopify and pick a theme and plugins from the lot.<\/p>\n<p>Whereas, businesses with budgets could start with WordPress + WooCommerce, provided they have the technical knowledge or have technical staff managing the store.<\/p>\n<p>Last comes Magento, it doesn\u2019t explicitly offer custom themes, so you\u2019ve to rely on third-party tools for premium themes and you\u2019ve to build the ground up. So it requires prompt handling and technical knowledge to manage a site. Since it requires rigorous support, it could break the bank.<\/p>\n<p>Based on where you\u2019re in your business, and technical skills you can select what works best for you.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Website_Responsiveness\"><\/span>Website Responsiveness<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>All the themes and plugins on Shopify&#8217;s official website are responsive. This means, that all can adjust automatically across any device without looking botched up.<\/p>\n<p>To select the best WordPress themes and plugins, you need to have knowledge\u2013of which ones are responsive. Though, it\u2019s easy to find out. Just do a Google search; as you did to read this content. And you will have a lot of options before your eyes.<\/p>\n<p>Same as WordPress, for Magento you require some knowledge about themes that would work for the kind of site you run. But because it&#8217;s a bit complex it could cost you more than the other options.<\/p>\n<p>Anyhow, it\u2019s always better to work with professionals like us who\u2019ve been maintaining stores for years.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Content_Management\"><\/span>Content Management<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Posting content on eCommerce websites is the best way to gain organic traction and sell more products. Providing, both Shopify and WordPress have amazing content management systems. Whereas, Magento doesn\u2019t match the two on these premisses, rightly so; since it was developed by keeping product scalability in mind. However, you can manage content on Magneto.<\/p>\n<p>In comparison, WordPress\u2019s content management supersedes any other content management system by a country mile. As <a href=\"https:\/\/w3techs.com\/technologies\/details\/cm-wordpress\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">WordPress captures<\/a> <strong>61.8% <\/strong>market share.<\/p>\n<p>WordPress has content versioning\u2014every single version of a pis age separately reserved\/held within a post or on a page and can be replaced\/used or inserted. Unfortunately, Shopify doesn\u2019t have that luxury.<\/p>\n<p>Next, WordPress allows setting different categories and tags flexibly when compared with other options. That presents in a visually appealing and easily navigating way so anyone who lands on a website can easily navigate through.<\/p>\n<p>For posting content\u2014WordPress is the spearhead. But if we talk especially about product placing and management, both Shopify and Magento are intuitive and straightforward. The reason beithat ng, both are eCommerce-dedicated SaaS solutions.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, the option of <em>\u2018<strong>automated collections<\/strong>\u2019<\/em> (Automated collections means you can use product titles, tags, price, etc. to create collections.) in both stores tie the competition among the two for an ultimate choice for companies with 100s of products.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"SEO_for_WordPress_Vs_Shopify\"><\/span>SEO for WordPress Vs Shopify<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>For eCommerce businesses, SEO plays a huge part\u2014essential to getting discovered organically. No business can always rely on Google Adwords or Facebook ads to generate traffic. At some point, every business wants organic traffic that sells its product.<\/p>\n<p>Most WordPress themes and plugins are SEO-friendly and provide better optimization opportunities. However, to nail the SEO of your eCommerce stores hosted on WordPress, you need some key understanding of Meta descriptions, alt text, Product URL, page load speed, and much more.<\/p>\n<p>Next, if you lack knowledge of SEO, then Shopify is a better option since most of the SEO functions are automated. But there\u2019s a downside to it, you can\u2019t create simple URL structures on Shopify.<\/p>\n<p>Last, Magento offers optimization options for Google like it\u2019s responsive (operating equally well across devices), user-friendly, and also feature-intensive (add as many features), but has issues with loading speed\u2026 And page speed contributes a lot to SEO.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Blogging_for_Ecommerce\"><\/span>Blogging for Ecommerce<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>We would want to discuss blogging separately from the above content management subhead because blogging is a marketing strategy to attract a lot of customers.<\/p>\n<p>Blogging is by far one of the most tremendous ways to <a href=\"https:\/\/zeracreative.com\/seo-company-pakistan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">generate immense traffic on the website<\/a> and sell more products organically.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When you create content besieging the product you sell &#8211; your customers see you as an authority and chances of organic selling increase. Because they believe that these guys have knowledge and authority over the subject &#8211; they\u2019d consider buying.<\/p>\n<p>Through blogging, we create funnels to sell products, and funneling requires different strategies for unique products. So it\u2019s a high-end strategy to convert prospects that land.<\/p>\n<p>In light of the study, blogging prominence is unequivocal if you want to sell products on auto for your eCommerce business. And for this purpose, WordPress is the spearhead. It has some amazing features and supports content publishing and SEO.<\/p>\n<p>Whereas, Shopify and Magento are super focused on product placement and automation. It\u2019s safer to say that if selling through a blog is in your marketing mix, then WordPress can be the best option.<\/p>\n<p>No, it didn\u2019t say that Shopify and Magento do not support blogs and content. In fact, Magento is quite user-friendly and requires no technical knowledge to add posts. But WordPress has no substitute in this category, and it\u2019s because WordPress is widely acknowledged as a CMS that supports blogging.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Functionality_Matters_for_Ecommerce_Website\"><\/span>Functionality Matters for Ecommerce Website<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Better functionality is the most preferable choice for <a title=\"eCommerce for small businesses\" href=\"https:\/\/www.designrush.com\/agency\/ecommerce\/trends\/ecommerce-solutions-small-businesses\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">eCommerce for small businesses<\/a>. WordPress, Magento, and Shopify provide better functionality. However, Shopify triumphs over WordPress in some ways. The reason is, that Shopify is an all-in solution for eCommerce stores, so it\u2019s intuitive and easy to set up and offers everything you would need to kick-start the store and take it to the target audience.<\/p>\n<p>About Magento, it beats both of them. Magento was developed with scalability in mind. You can have over 1000 products listed on Magento without much trouble \u2013 provided you have the correct technical support.<\/p>\n<p>So for the functionality of huge stores \u2013 no comparison to Magento. Hands down. Next, Shopify can also be great for functionality, and you can operate it without much technical know-how. Whereas, WordPress does offer great functionality by using third-party integration tools such as WooCommerce.<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, with additional lightweight plugins, you can make your store more functional.<\/p>\n<p>The point is if you can afford to work with developers and want better, customized functionality of your store, then WordPress could be the choice. But if you don&#8217;t have a budget and are just starting out &#8211; Shopify is the answer.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Security_for_E-commerce\"><\/span>Security for E-commerce<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If your website is not secure, your business is at risk.<\/p>\n<p>Providing that Shopify has better in-built security. It\u2019s Shopify\u2019s responsibility to provide you with a secure website. Once your business is set up, you\u2019d not need to worry about cyber-attacks as Shopify has it covered for you.<\/p>\n<p>Whereas, WordPress\u2019s security is in your hands. It could be a negative point or a positive one. Since it\u2019s in your hands, you can make it more secure and sturdy. But for that, you need to have knowledge about the best, glitch-free, and non-malicious code themes and plugins.<\/p>\n<p>Besides, you\u2019d need to keep checking on regular updates to avoid web crashing and give a smooth experience.<br \/>\nLast, Magento is no different from WordPress. Since it&#8217;s open-source and one has to mostly rely on third-party tools. So the concern with Magento is the same as WordPress.<\/p>\n<p>The point is, that Shopify is secured to some extent; no doubt. But for WordPress and Magento you\u2019d need to be proactive. Proactive means to keep a check on everything and anything to avoid security concerns. Alongside, you need to bout your store\u2019s security by working with professionals like us who know how to ensure the security of a WordPress store.<\/p>\n<p>Caveat: If you go with Shopify, you need to make sure you purchase templates directly from Shopify. Else, you could risk compromising website security.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_WordPress_offer_better_integration_for_eCom_stores\"><\/span>Does WordPress offer better integration for eCom stores?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Security_for_E-commerce-2\"><\/span>Security for E-commerce<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Integration of a store with other 3rd party service providers is important to make the website function better. So it would give customers a better experience and give you (as a store owner) an advantage to customize it to your needs.<\/p>\n<p>Shopify allows you to integrate a lot of cool tools that would make it easy to build a complete ecosystem \u2013 that handles everything from product placement to checkouts. Though Shopify is always the second guess integrating with other solutions and only allows integration when satisfied since they\u2019re managing your website security all by themselves. This results in fewer integration options with 3rd party tools when compared with WordPress.<\/p>\n<p>Whereas, Magento offers an enormous range of features that you could integrate with your store. 1000s of plugins and integration options are available. But, could get complicated for non-technical individuals and small store owners with moderate budgets.<\/p>\n<p>Last, WordPress has a ton of integration options. More than enough for any business requirements. Since it doesn\u2019t screen security, you\u2019d need some knowledge about secure options. And with more options, you can further embellish your website<\/p>\n<p>Better work with professionals who have knowledge about everything you need for a sleek website.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"If_Aesthetics_is_your_main_concern_go_with_WordPress_all_the_way\"><\/span>If Aesthetics is your main concern, go with WordPress all the way<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Have you ever purchased a product from a website that looks dull, mundane, and pale?<\/p>\n<p>For an eCommerce store, aesthetics have remarkable weightage \u2013 without a doubt. It is right, as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inc.com\/logan-chierotti\/harvard-professor-says-95-of-purchasing-decisions-are-subconscious.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">customers buy on emotions<\/a> and later satisfy logic.<\/p>\n<p>First, you have to win their heart, then prove to them the logic behind it. This\u2019s the psychology of buying that comes in handy when making purchasing decisions.<\/p>\n<p>This is where WordPress chimes in and outshine. With the plethora of plugins and themes WordPress offers, you can create anything\u2014anything means ANYTHING.<\/p>\n<p>From the web layout to the color combination to the button placements to the typography and literally everything. It gets fully customized and allows your product to stand out.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019re a number of aspects that come in handy while selecting a platform to host a store. However, to sell the products and provide a seamlessly beautiful visual experience to your customers\u2014you need WordPress + WooCommerce.<br \/>\nThere\u2019s no better choice than this.<\/p>\n<p>It doesn\u2019t mean to negate Shopify or any other alternative options. All the other options offer some incredible themes plugins and integration options. But none could get closer to WordPress due to high customization.<\/p>\n<p>The point is, if you truly want to sell products, you need a visually appealing website that resonates with customers on so many levels. Then WordPress is the answer.<\/p>\n<p>However, if you think aesthetics have nothing much to do with selling then you have a lot to choose from.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Summing_it_up\"><\/span>Summing it up<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>After a thorough study of the topic, it\u2019s obvious that both WordPress and Shopify have benefits and drawbacks.<br \/>\nBoth are excellent choices &#8211; providing the need.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re an up-and-coming eCommerce store owner and short on budget\u2014you could go with Shopify. Or if you have 100s of products to lean with, Shopify is also a better choice, since it offers better automation and intuitive product placement experience.<\/p>\n<p>And if you have a massive budget and have over 100s, or 1000s of products in your store, then you can consider Magento. The reason is, that you can get better customization over Shopify.<\/p>\n<p>Whereas, if you have a moderate budget, not a huge list of products, and want to go all-in with marketing, aesthetics, and customization, WordPress is the ultimate choice. Not something you could consider, but a full and final option.<\/p>\n<p>Before you leave the place, know that security is a huge concern and could sabotage your business in a matter of minutes if not catered to beforehand. So if you plan to go with WordPress, be sure you work with professionals, like us, who can handle website security, third-party tool integration, and website responsiveness.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>The bottom line is, that WordPress is an ultimate choice due to its customization and Marketing benefits.
