| Factor | WordPress | Shopify |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Content-rich & flexible sites | Dedicated online stores |
| Ease of use | Moderate learning curve | Very beginner-friendly |
| E-commerce | Via WooCommerce plugin | Built-in, purpose-made |
| Design flexibility | Almost unlimited | Theme-based, more limited |
| Ongoing cost | Hosting + plugins | Monthly subscription |
| SEO control | Excellent, full control | Good, slightly limited |
Choose WordPress if you want a flexible, content-driven site with full control. Choose Shopify if your main goal is selling products with minimal setup. For many Chennai retailers, a WooCommerce (WordPress) store offers the best balance of cost and flexibility.
For a simple product store with minimal setup, Shopify is easier. For flexibility and lower long-term cost, WordPress with WooCommerce often wins.
WordPress can be cheaper long-term (no monthly platform fee) but needs hosting and maintenance. Shopify has predictable monthly pricing.
