Magento or Shopify: which should you choose?

With Magento or WooCommerce the architecture is what differs: WooCommerce is a WordPress plugin suited to small stores, while Magento is a platform built for e-commerce, better when catalogue, rules and integrations grow. For companies in Como, Brianza, Milan and Lugano we assess case by case.

A headless e-commerce setup makes sense when you need highly customised interfaces or several sales channels, because it separates the front end from the back end. It requires more development and coordination: for a standard store of a company in Como or Brianza, a well-built traditional solution is often enough.

A Magento upgrade is done in a separate test environment: backup, new version, testing of extensions, checkout and integrations, and only then going live. Our team in Cantù, in the province of Como, plans upgrades so that your store stays operational and secure.

The choice between a single store or separate stores per country depends on how much the markets differ in language, price lists, VAT, catalogue and organisation. The Cantù team, in the province of Como, helps you assess it: Magento manages several stores from the same installation.

A slow e-commerce site loses sales because online shoppers do not wait: heavy pages or a checkout that freezes push the customer towards a competitor and hurt SEO. Typical causes: unoptimised images, heavy extensions, undersized servers. We analyse them from Cantù for companies in Como, Brianza, Milan and Lugano.
