Discover the strengths of commercetools in direct comparison to Shopify issues in key aspects such as cost efficiency, migration speed, building checkout features and B2B functionalities.
TCO/ROI
commercetools ensures low TCO and high ROI through modern practices, open standards, and extensive resources. Shopify offers low TCO but limited customizability, leading to potential enterprise outgrowth and having to pay and migrate twice due to oversimplification and platform lock-in.
Time to market
commercetools' Accelerator program ensures an MVP in weeks, flexibly tailored to your business. Shopify's rigid deployment path suits simple projects in weeks, lacking true enterprise customizability.
Checkout
commercetools' customizable and seamless checkout is adaptable to B2B, B2C and D2C models and leverages a library of 300+ APIs. Shopify's checkout problems are due to its proprietary nature, operating on a distinct domain in a headless setup, which poses challenges for cross-domain tracking and analytics integration.
B2B
commercetools, a 2022 Forrester Wave™ Leader, excels in B2B commerce with a robust roadmap. It handles complex use cases, including B2B2C. In contrast, Shopify lacks critical B2B functionalities and an essential order-based pricing model.
