Among the premium ecommerce platforms, Shopify is the most popular one, however, it is not the only ecommerce platform you can use,there are multiple other platforms. For instance, Wix, Squarespace, Ecwid, etc. While shopify covers 27 percent market share, Wix has 19 percent market share, Square has 12 percent and Ecwid has 5 percent. What you you choice of ecmmerce platform? Have you used anything other than Shopify or even Woocommerce?
 
If more people are using shopify than wix, I believe shopify must be better. Woocommerce is free right? Maybe the choice between wix, shipify or even Woocommerce should be based on what you want to do and how you want to do.
 
Shopify is basically designed for ecommerce, however, if you want a site that has other functions including ecommere, a bl;or or a forum for instance, shopify might not be the choice. in that case Wordpress is a better choice because you can use it as ecommerce by using woocommerce and wpfro for creating forums as well.
 
WooCommerce all the way. Was able to get a customer from Shopify to WooCommerce and it made her life way easier. Shopify was A PAIN to manage, the blog system is a joke and, when she had to do any work on it, she had no idea how to tweak it. So she'd pay a lot of money for all kinds of silly tasks. Now, on Wordpress, she can easily add products, edit them etc.
