Check out odoo.[1] You can self host a version of it if you want for free or you can pay to have the hosting taken care of for you. I believe they will even host the ecommerce portion for free. [1] https://www.odoo.com/page/compare-odoo-vs-magento https://www.odoo.com/page/compare-odoo-vs-magento

WooCommerce. I've used it for a (small) webshop for two years now, many customization, no real problems at all so far.

  I agree woocomerce is a much cleaner solution even though it's based on WordPress.

    > even though it's based on WordPress I consider this to be an advantage actually. At least if you do not only want a standalone shop, but an integrative website with a news/blog area, static pages like faq to draw in customers.

  But isn't Magento versus WooCommerce like comparing a mosquito to an elephant? We've been wormig with Drupal Kickstart Commerce for a couple of commerce websites and it's been a terrible experience. It's without a doubt the worst CMS I've ever come accross. Drupal in itself is something of a beast, but with KC it just maken you want to cry. SAAS solutions seem the most elegant, but we don't want to become a reseller and want to retain fill control for oud customers. Prestashop looks interesting and not as bloated as Magento.

I'm a huge fan of BigCommerce. https://www.bigcommerce.com/ https://www.bigcommerce.com/ They just rolled out Stencil, which is a local development environment for building the themes for storefronts. It's using Handlebars for syntax, ES6 with Babel and WebPack, and is incredibly easy to setup. There's no local database as it pulls the product catalog from a running store, and it's installed with one npm install command.

Depends on the use case, small medium shops I think the shopify business plan covers everything, and once you've grown to want more, go with one of the big dogs. Hybris or Demandware.

  What makes Hybris or Demandware a better fit for big companies than shopify? It used to be that people would talk about magento being "once you've outgrown shopify". They don't seem to be saying that anymore. I've personally worked with a business doing 100m+/year in revenue on shopify.

    Depends on what you're looking for. Theres a lot more customizability in Hybris and Demandware. More advanced features and extensibility. The same can be said for Magento, Magentos issues always come down to performance.

  We're actually looking to move away from sylius and just eyeing Magento. Sylius' test suite quality and modularity is one the best I've ever seen; considering features and API stability, however, it leaves a lot to be desired. (It's coming along nicely, so best wishes to all the folks at Lakion.)

I use Commerce V3. Very happy and pleased with them. They're still open source like Magento (which I have used and hated), but with a super user friendly interface. Plus, they're suitable for small business or can scale as big as you need.
