Some store-building platforms take a percentage of sales on top of monthly or annual fees. Here are the ones concerned among the options mentioned:
Shopify — charges transaction fees if you do not use its own payment system, Shopify Payments. Those fees range from 2.0% to 0.5% depending on the plan.
BigCommerce — takes no transaction fee, but imposes annual sales thresholds. Once you pass them, you must move to a higher plan.
Wix — takes no transaction fee on sales, but offers subscriptions whose features vary by plan.
Some platforms demand advanced technical skills, or an agency, to be used to their full potential. Here are the main ones:
Magento (Adobe Commerce) — one of the most complex and powerful platforms. Ideal for large companies with specific customisation and integration needs, running it requires web development skills or a specialist agency.
WooCommerce — although built on WordPress and reasonably simple to install, it can require technical skills for advanced customisation or specific integrations.
PrestaShop — offers a great deal of flexibility and customisation, which can call for a certain level of technical skill, particularly for advanced features and performance tuning.
OpenCart — known for being light and simple, but getting the most from it — complex designs, specific extensions — takes a developer.
or a developer, an SEO specialist, an integrator, a web designer, a marketer…
