BetterCommerce vs. Shopify Plus

BetterCommerce can be a bit complicated to understand the scope of for an ecommerce brand, but the implementation is simple upon signing up. What really matters is the results that have came about in terms of conversions from customer engagement, orders, and also views of the product marketplace. I like that SEO is included and data is omnichannel meaning we can see all of our brand's sales channels for the most data driven decisions.

Any business that needs to keep track of orders and payments would benefit from Shopify Plus. Customers information, orders, and payments are all saved and available for reference. You are able to refer to past orders to review trends and offer future purchase suggestions. Shopify Plus is also easy to use so it does not take long to train employees how to use this system.

• Currency Option
• Initial Step of inventory and Scaling
• Managing multiple store at once

• Scales incredibly well. Forget about hardware concerns, load balancing, downtime, etc. and focus on eCommerce. We've seen merchants go from a few thousand dollars per month to having million dollar days, all on Shopify without having to worry about performance or scaling systems.
• Great new features consistently being added, ahead of the curve on almost everything
• Solid API to build on and work with, a few annoying quirks here and there for super complex use cases but overall very well documented and works well
• Most Merchant Success Managers are good and genuinely want to be helpful
• A fantastic user interface, very logical and easy to use
• Tons and tons and tons of out of the box integrations. Easily the best integration marketplace of the e-commerce platforms. There's an app for that.

• Bit hard to understand the features at first glance

• The Account Managers/Reps have become more scripted and seem like they are busier and handling more clients than before. It doesn't seem as personal and special anymore like when we first upgraded to Plus.
• Shopify still has missing features in their software that might not have an app in their app marketplace available that fills this void.
• The 24/7 support doesn't seem as dedicated as they once were.

It just works! It is so prolific worldwide that there are a plethora of partners who can support you. Development time is cut in half as many plugins can be used that would require custom development on other platforms. It is stable, fast, and scalable.

We selected BetterCommerce for its 100% API-first philosophy. We were able to integrate it without changing our stack and customize our online store.

Shopify had the quickest go-to-market and most robust API among the products we compared. CommerceCloud required a VERY LONG integration phase that we just didn't have time for. BigCommerce fell short on the number of features and API coverage that we needed. Overall Shopify gave us the most bang for the buck.
