But Shopify hold the transaction fee and charge 2% on top. So really in the end. Shopify is not that much cheaper. Considering bigcommerce doesnt charge this. I am bullish on the long term of bigcommerce. Or anything that goes after the small medium business.
I don’t think Shopify could sustain a real entrance by Adobe with Magento, or a product in the same space from someone like Microsoft. As these companies know developer tooling and in the end. Shopify needs developers. Developers don’t need Shopify.
- theturtletalks 7y agoYes but their are ways to circumvent this. You could just use Shopify as a headless CMS for $9/month. Use their storefront API and a static site builder like Gatsby as your storefront. Then you can integrate your own payments and create the order on the backend. You could even use the new Stripe Checkout page.
- jeromegv 7y agoHmm, for a small retailer, Shopify offers the same transaction fee as you would get from Square / Stripe which is about 3%.
- stickfigure 7y agoAdobe with Magento Eh?? Maybe if they rewrite it from scratch and just recycle the brand...
- uyuioi 7y agoThey’re already heading towards Shopify’s lunch with commerce cloud. That’s quite obviously the outcome Adobe is after. It’s a subscription business after all.
