Since its relevant going to ask for recommendation here.
I am setting up an online store for my parents. I can host and manage it at least for the initial days where they can validate the idea.
These two looks promising.
1. https://woocommerce.com/ https://woocommerce.com/
2. https://magento.com/ https://magento.com/
Found more alternatives https://www.wpbeginner.com/showcase/best-woocommerce-alternatives-better-solution-for-specific-needs/ https://www.wpbeginner.com/showcase/best-woocommerce-alterna...
Wondering anyone has experience/feedback on any of these projects. Thanks.
- teknolog 5y agoSafely hosting anything on the internet today is a HUGE operational headache. Woocommerce is built on Wordpress, which is one of least secure platforms out there. You'll have to apply patches at least weekly. Use a hosted service, like Shopify or Squarespace or anything really.
- gman83 5y agoI recommend something like Cloudways for Wordpress. It's like a layer on top of Digital Ocean/Vultr/Linode. Try the Blocksy theme with Woocommerce.
- hapiben 5y agoI've used WooCommerce before for my wife's online store. I hosted it in DO. It's okay, but not as good as Shopify in terms of payments, inventory management etc. I also ended up having to install a lot of plugins which most of it are in trial.
