A clear comparison of both options in terms of cost, flexibility and scalability.
Ready-made platforms are a fast, suitable option to get started, while a custom store gives you full flexibility in design, integrations and customer experience. The right choice depends on your stage and plans.
When to choose a ready-made platform
- A limited budget and a launch within days.
- Few products and simple operations.
- No special integrations with other systems.
When to choose a custom store
- A distinctive brand and a unique buying experience.
- Special integrations with accounting, inventory or shipping systems.
- Ambitious growth plans and high traffic.
- Owning the platform outright, with no per-transaction monthly fees.
