Shopify SEO: Sadly Shopify comes with a couple of SEO issues (e.g. rigid URL structures) that may be annoying for some. Find more information here.

WooCommerce

Not to be mistaken with an ecommerce platform, Ecwid is actually a clever plugin you can add to any website to integrate a store. Like WooCommerce there is a free option (not open source), but the main advantage is that you don’t need a WordPress site. Anything will work.

PinnacleCart

Shopify is overall a more advanced tool than PinnacleCart – especially when looking at the available integrations. However, if you are looking for an alternative that allows you to have unlimited admin accounts, won’t charge extra transaction fees, or want to host your store externally, PinnacleCart could be the right platform for you.

Magento

You might have heard the name Magento for a couple of reasons. First, it was purchased by eBay in 2011. Then, it was sold and bought by Adobe mid-2018. All these transfers of ownership might be a bit worrying if you want to keep track of what’s happening with the platform. But as it stands today, they are a CMS platform focused on letting you sell products and designed around an open-source ecosystem.

Big Cartel

Unlike other Shopify competitors, Big Cartel has got their niche audience: artists, artisans and creators. The websites they create could easily be alternative versions of Etsy, favoring displays that promote a certain DIY, artsy aesthetic.

PrestaShop

Founded in France in 2007, you’re probably more likely to have heard of PrestaShop if you’re based in Europe. They are pretty popular in Italy and Spain, where more than 250000 stores rely on its PHP-based open source platform.

WiX

Already have a Wix website? Then you’re probably used to the interface and design philosophy, so creating your store with them should be a no brainer. If you’re looking for the balance of features/value, then Wix is also a great option.

MightyCall

This ease of use carries over to the ecommerce section. It’s super simple to add products and edit them, but there’s a good reason we’d only recommend Weebly in the “small” online stores section. Their features can be quite lacking compared to dedicated ecommerce platforms, as you’ll see in the video or pros and cons below.

SquareSpace

If you want a good looking site with a solid blog. It’s a bit cheaper than Shopify especially if you need a real-time shipping rate calculator. Really, it’s also about whether Squarespace’s clean, minimalist aesthetic appeals to you in the first place.

EcWid

Best of all, Ecwid is surprisingly easy to use. I like the fact that Ecwid can turn any website into a fully-functioning online store and the price is certainly competitive. Downsides include the lack of design options and flexibility. Still, the rest of the features is pretty strong, as you’ll see in the video below.

Simvoly

Why choose Simvoly over Shopify? Simvoly offers a bit more control over your design and layouts, but their ecommerce features are a bit more limited (e.g. shipping, taxes, and payment methods).

3dcart

Interestingly, 3Dcart was developed for private use before it was released to the public in 2001. During their almost two decades of existence, they haven’t exactly become a household name, but Amazon did give them a nice accolade when they announced it was the preferred ecommerce platform for their fulfillment service.
