An eCommerce site is very different to a classic information site. Its main difference is the far higher server load and stress generated on continuous read and write operations.
In North America (Mexico, Canada and USA) there are five dominant eCommerce software ecosystems:
- Shopify (closed-source)
- BigCommerce (closed-source)
- Magento (closed and open-source)
- PrestaShop (open-source)
- WooCommerce (open-source)
We offer your choice of the three open-source frameworks. The right choice should be aligned to your present and future needs.
Software | Pros | Cons |
Magento | Maximum scalability and ERP integration. | Slow performance and limited customizations. |
PrestaShop | Great performance and good customization capability. | It’s in the middle of the spectrum. |
WooCommerce | Maximum flexibility and access to all WordPress plugins. | Inefficient performance. Bad scalability. |
