Choose based on the catalog and operations you have, not a platform identity.
What this means
A small product catalog, a growing inventory, pickup, shipping, and staff editing create different requirements.
What to do first
1. Count products and variants. 2. List shipping, pickup, and tax needs. 3. Test one purchase on a phone. 4. Check the current help and pricing information at the vendor.
When to leave it alone
Do not move a store before confirming product data, domain, payment, and fulfillment handoffs.
Your next move
If the current store creates repeated manual work, map one order from purchase to handoff before deciding.

Is Shopify always better for ecommerce?
