Confirm the use case, then compare features.
Test the full checkout flow, including payments, tax, shipping, refunds, and exports, then compare fees, integrations, and international support.
- Does it support payments and tax in your target markets?
- Are transaction and app costs manageable?
- Can product, order, and customer data be exported?
One-minute verdict
What matters most
Compare commerce platforms by the real operating cost per order, not base subscription price. Transactions, payments, apps, refunds, and cross-border support often matter more.
Prioritize
- Complete checkout, refund, tax, and shipping flow
- Transaction, payment, and required-app costs
- Portability of products, orders, customers, and content
Red flags
- Core local payments require extra apps
- Low monthly price hides a high transaction share
- Orders or customer records cannot be fully exported
How to evaluate E-commerce
How should commerce-platform TCO be estimated?
Use real order volume and average order value, then include platform, payment, transaction, app, theme, refund, and operational labor costs.
When should a store migrate platforms?
Migrate when a priority market, payment, or operating workflow cannot be supported reliably and workaround cost persistently exceeds migration cost.
