Flipkart Seller Hub vs. Magento Open Source

It's well suited for a business that targets end customers, e-commerce business vendors, enterprises and architecture & planning industries. Scenarios, where it is less appropriate, is for small business owners who generally do not accept bulk orders or vendors where the product once returned, the logistic cost affects the marginal cost.

It's well suited for large eCommerce stores as it requires much effort to set up and the development cost for setting it up is high. It's less appropriate to use Magento where you are looking for quick development and launch of the store. Also, it is required to have a developer or sometimes the entire tech team to manage an e-commerce store, so you may need to hire a few PHP developers.

In looking at a different platform to migrate to from Magento 1, we looked primarily at Big Commerce, Shopify and Shopify Plus. Our host was very negative about Magento 2, but we determined after a couple years it was due to the fact it had even more complexity (and very different) than Magento 1. Shopify Plus was attractive, but the cost factor for two sites led us back to Magento 2.
