Wix vs. Shopify: Which Is the Best E-Commerce Platform for Your Business?
Where Wix is better
Pricing: Wix’s plans are generally more affordable than Shopify’s. You can start an online store with Wix for $23 per month, compared to $29 per month with Shopify.
Website building: Wix gives you 3 unique ways to create your website: drag-and-drop builder, Wix ADI or its open development platform.
Payment processing: Not only is the rate for Wix Payments (2.9% plus 30 cents per transaction) pretty standard in the industry, but it’s also a huge benefit that Wix does not charge an additional fee for using a third-party payment processor.
Wix is really ideal for those who just need a website, but if you are going to dabble in e-commerce, Wix can provide you with a suitable option for a low-volume of sales.
Where Shopify is better
E-commerce-focused features: Shopify is better equipped to handle a vast variety of e-commerce needs, including a higher volume of sales.
Customer support: Although Wix offers 24/7 phone support for its U.S. customers, reviewers often complain that it’s difficult to reach customer service. Shopify provides 24/7 support in three different ways.
Shopify is a solution that can truly work for any business situation — even the merchant who is thinking about turning their Wix website into a WixStore.
Regarding the most painful part: Shipping!
With Wix, you can set rates from your dashboard based on where your customer is located and what they ordered. When a customer completes a purchase, Wix will automatically factor the tax and shipping into the final price.
Working with Shopify allows you to create a custom shipping method. You can either charge a flat rate or a custom rate depending on the customer’s order and location.
