Pros
It has very rich core features and has an excellent engine for both Polish and foreign markets. It offers a number of practical functionalities, and in addition, it is quite affordable. If you are setting up a traditional online sale that does not require any advanced online configurators, this solution will fit your needs perfectly. Shoper has an extensive collection of plug-ins and ready-to-use solutions that significantly simplify activities within it. What’s more, this system is equipped with a lot of features that you may not know about at the start, but will prove incredibly useful further down the line in your business.
Cons
Shoper offers limited possibilities for implementing dedicated features. It is a system that is difficult to customize, making it impossible to develop it the way you want. Ultimately, therefore, you are left somewhat limited and forced to use only the solutions that already exist.
Who is it for?
We would definitely recommend using Shopper to anyone who is just starting out in e-commerce and needs a system that meets today’s sales requirements, but at the same time does not involve the whole design process.
Pros
WooCommerce is an interesting solution that is currently very popular. The system is in fact a plug-in and is based on the WordPress engine. One of its biggest advantages, and the reason why it has gained so much interest, is that it belongs to the group of cheaper and budget solutions.
Cons
There are also some limitations in its functionality that cannot be circumvented. The system, due to its engine, which is not the most powerful, will not perform well when talking about full-scale e-commerce business.
Who is it for?
In the first place, for people who know WordPress and want and enjoy working with it. The system is recommended for simple sales, such as a few individual products on a website.
Pros
Extremely popular engine that allows you to use a great deal of customization. The system offers more than three hundred different features and allows you to introduce solutions, which allow you to personalize your store to a large extent. Presta runs on open source software, and as a result, it has a free basic version.
Cons
Despite not having any initial fee, expect that these costs may arise over time. After all, for Presta to become a professional sales tool, a number of specific adjustments are required. Its implementation and optimal use, therefore, naturally requires more work and additional financial resources that the client must allocate for this purpose.
Who is it for?
PrestaShop is mainly aimed at small and medium-sized online stores. Using this system for larger and more complex projects is of course possible, but requires an extended version.
Dedicated solutions
Pros
The biggest upside of dedicated solutions is that your imagination becomes essentially the only limiting factor. Such a variant definitely provides more possibilities for customization, and thus there is a chance to tailor the store completely to the individual requirements and needs of the customer. Without much trouble, it is possible to add any functionality and prepare a final effect that will fully meet the imagination.
Cons
The use of this solution is directly connected with a much longer analytical process. Failure to work on defined templates increases the waiting time for the final result, and the process itself is naturally much more expensive.
Who is it for?
We recommend the dedicated system first of all to experienced sellers, who have already learned how to operate this part of the virtual market, have a well-defined customer profile, can specifically define their own requirements and know precisely what they need. Thus, we recommend dedicated solutions to those who are looking for powerful and personalized tools, and the preservation of budget savings is not a determining factor when building the Store.
