Why choose commercetools over Shopify?
Shopify is a great choice for small and medium-sized businesses that need a quick time to market. However, enterprise-grade commerce is another ball game. That’s where commercetools comes in.
Flexibility
While Shopify offers limited customization for enterprise and B2B needs, commercetools delivers true flexibility with an open infrastructure that supports complex use cases across any industry or business model.
Scalability
Shopify’s limited cloud infrastructure and fragmented integrations often struggle to support Black Friday-like traffic peaks. commercetools’ architecture is built to handle unpredictable traffic seamlessly.
Business value
Shopify offers a fast start with templated offerings, but lacks customization options for businesses to stand out. Thanks to commercetools, you get the best pay-off for your business with rapid innovation and lower costs at enterprise scale.
