    It is open source and does not have the limitations that shopify has as far as what the actual software can do. It also does not have the monthly fees and per transaction fees that shopify has.

    The open-source keeps my costs down, but there is a lot of support if needed. The platform is intuitive and the community is fabulous.

    With Vepp you can easily install WordPress, assign a domain, and get a free SSL. You'll be sure your website is stable and secure. Vepp will take care of technical details. It can set up a server, install a CMS, configure a domain and an SSL, while you can focus on what’s truly important for you: create a website, promote it, and populate it with content.

    Vepp is better than Shopify. This is also a content system for website, BUT Vepp allows you to manage your server as well
