building an e-commerce website, E-commerce application vs e-commerce plugin?
I am building an e-commerce website, go with E-commerce application (the top ones don't seem to be available through cpanel) or use wordpress/boldgrid and install e-commerce plugin?
I don't have much experience and the website would have unique one piece products
thanks
Hello Maganinooo,
Thanks for your question about e-commerce application vs. e-commerce plugin. I believe that this is kind of a matter of personal comfort and preference. I recommend a plugin like WooCommerce if you're dealing with a store smaller than 2000 products. Though, with a bit of work, WooCommerce, can still meet your needs. Dedicated applications like PrestaShop or Magento are really good, but they do have a bit of a learning curve for the front end if you're more familiar with WordPress. Please remember also, that if you're growing into a larger shop (something with 5000 products or more), then you will want to be on a VPS or Dedicated server. Keep in mind that you can always a try out these programs and test them to see how they work.
If you have any further questions or comments, please let us know.
Kindest Regards,
Arnel C.
