    It depends a lot on what exactly you want from your ecommerce store.

    For many ecommerce owners Shopify is the best solution.

    Good luck with your venture.

    I think If you haven't more technical knowledge, wordpress is better that Magento.

      I would better recommend to use hosted ecommerce platforms. From my experience they allow you to create your store much quicker.
      Here are some I know
      Weebly
      Sellbeing
      Squarespace

    8) Intelligent filtered search for shoppers

    Hi OP,

    The answer depends a lot on the traffic and the intended use for the Store. For simple shops, I think WordPress and its plugins would suffice.
    Whichever platform you choose out of WordPress and Magento, you are sure to get the benefits of open source platform that is available for free But for anything serious, you must go with Magento. I have developed and run Online Stores using both and here are the things that I'd like you to know.

    Most of the present people prefer Magento for ecommerce based web pages and articles. This shows that search engine gives importance to Magento platform for ecommerce based articles and applications.

    If you love to make an extension for your website or to submit just a blog article about your product or service, then WordPress is the best platform to use. Search engines give importance to WordPress blogs when searching for general information on products and services.

    I use WooCommerce. It allows me to launch numerous ecommerce stores without those recurring monthly platform fees, is easy to set up and get up and running, especially if you're already familiar with Wordpress.

    I'd recommend Magento because it's really much more powerful and has tons of addons.

    I too use wordpress/woocommerce, and am more than happy.
    Having said that I've never used anything else, so am not in a position to compare with anything else.

    All the best

      First of all if you are a newbie with no programmer assistance, I would recommend to go for a self-hosted solution or Open Cart.

      If you are looking to have a long-term company you should think in advance and choose depending on your actual needs and future needs.

      True, but their seller fees are becoming more than I want to pay.
