| Choose Shopify when… | Choose WooCommerce when… |
|---|---|
| SaaS simplicity and Shopify-managed infrastructure are priorities | WordPress/content integration and hosting control matter |
| Standard commerce needs fit Shopify and its native apps | Deeper customization or infrastructure flexibility is required |
| You prefer direct Shopify billing and platform administration | You prefer an independently hosted architecture managed by Synthos |
Synthos recommends the platform that best matches your requirements; neither platform is universally better.

Shopify operates its own hosted platform and bills you directly for it. WooCommerce runs on hosting infrastructure, which Synthos can provide through a WooCommerce Managed Growth plan, or you can host it yourself.
Shopify's hosting comes from Shopify directly, not from Synthos. WooCommerce Managed Growth includes a Synthos hosting allocation as part of the plan.
Each package includes a set number of standard app or plugin integrations. Premium apps, plugins, and their subscription costs are separate.
10 shirts × 5 sizes × 4 colors = 10 base products and up to 200 variants. Collections or categories organize products; they don't multiply the product count.
No. Platform, theme, app, plugin, and subscription fees are separate and generally paid directly by you.
You can run the store yourself, or move into Shopify Care or WooCommerce Managed Growth for ongoing support.
Within your support window, minor fixes are covered. Beyond that, a Care or Managed Growth plan covers ongoing requests, or larger changes are scoped as a new project.
