Do you sell through WooCommerce and feel overwhelmed by your server maintenance, updates, support? In the following article I will present the possibilities of migrating your store to the fastest growing SaaS platform in the world – Shopify.
Why choose Shopify?
Shopify is the leader among SaaS platforms in the world. As of 02.09.2020 there are 1,498,823 online stores based on this platform. It is a very simple to use system that does not require any specialist knowledge to manage it. It is characterized by reliability, flexibility, a very large community and an extensive App Store (as of 02.09.2020 – 4776 applications).
Examples of stores based on Shopify:
An unquestionable advantage of Shopify is the lack of need to maintain a technical store. Development, hosting and security is provided by the software manufacturer in the monthly subscription amount. The advantages of this solution may also include:
- no need to maintain the server
- free upgrades
- technical support
- unlimited number of products
- Lots of free applications and templates
- security certificates included in the subscription price
- open API
- Scalability
- handling up to 10,000 orders per minute
- fast time to market
- Shopify PLUS package – for demanding
It should also be taken into account that for some people the lack of their own server will be a disadvantage, for others an advantage. The whole depends on your needs and requirements, which should be compared with the solutions offered by the platform.
Migration to Shopify
When deciding to start selling online one of the key factors is the choice of platform. Often, however, this decision is made hastily or under the influence of opinions of others – who do not always have similar needs to yours. If you have decided to choose WooCommerce and you have come to the conclusion that it was a bad decision you can migrate your current store to Shopify.
