    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.

    I don't like prestashop as an alternative because it is not an ecommerce platform, only open source free software which not excessively free to users, mainly it has limited online store builder platform where do not have access to make editor.

    WooCommerce is free (but you need WordPress hosting which is around $3/month), there are tons of free plugins and themes and there is loads of online support, WooCommerce is the most popular eCommerce solution in the world, even more popular than shopify.

    expensive, you need to buy domain, buy the higher plan and it's forever locked into Wix. Not worth it
