Where Shopify fits
It fits a business that prefers managed infrastructure to maintaining its own ecommerce server.
Check before you choose
Compare recurring plan costs, payment fees and required apps before migrating products.
Find the right edition
Start with the destination for your device or the publisher's website. Use the current requirements and terms there to confirm the edition you need.
Compare the workflow
Begin with operational ownership. A hosted platform manages infrastructure; self-managed store software leaves updates and hosting with you. Payment eligibility and transaction fees need their own review.
