Which E-commerce solution should you choose?

The free Community edition comes with a lot of support from an expert team of developers.

Cons: Magento is a complex solution, which means that it might lead to a

longer learning curve. Once it is mastered, though, the range of features offered is immense.

The Community edition is available free of charge, but moving to the Enterprise edition may prove to be cost-intensive for small businesses.

OpenCart is a good choice for a basic ecommerce store, and can be summed up as below

OpenCart comes with some very good documentation, which guides users through all the initial setup and other functionality

additional plugins such as for SEO.

A store that is set up with OpenCart is not very easy to customize, and might be constricting for some businesses.

Caching is not provided by OpenCart, and must be added using an extension for improving performance.

WooCommerce works in partnership with WordPress to enable users to create an online store within their blogs or websites. It is a newer solution when compared to OpenCart and Magento. Pros:  It works very well with WordPress, and offers a seamless interface to

users who are already using that platform

It is very easy to use, with a very short learning curve especially because the users are already knowledgeable about the WordPress ecosystem that it is a part of

WooCommerce offers a simple feature set that is sufficient for setting up a basic store

Cons:  It is tightly linked with WordPress and cannot be used without

it.

While basic themes and plugins might be free or inexpensive, the premium ones might cost a lot more.
