I have a big, multi-million dollar project that I'm thinking of switching to @WooCommerce. I have a bunch of questions. Can someone connect me with a person at WooCommerce, preferably in SF?

eww

why?

i try to stay agnostic but we have demo stores on ~20 ecom platforms and if you are weighing Shopify vs Woo it's not even close. Woo is literally a "hack" that keeps getting bigger. there's a reason shopify is the only public co in ecom as a service. need more chars to articulate

I have a few buds with massive stores and they say WooCom is more flexible. But I don't know first hand. Can you tell me the top 3 reasons why WooCom would be better than Shop and the top 3 reasons why its worse?

why Woo better: 1. most hackable, open source 2. a plugin for literally everything 3. free ! (basically) why Shop: 1. [much much] more stable + documented API 2. infrastructure like fulfillment network + more coming 3. better UI/UX and themes

No mention of content management. If that matters, Woo is superior. Went through this question about 6 months ago and spoke with a lot of digital agencies and entrepreneurs. Everyone has their preferences, yet Woo came out on top in majority of these convos.

Shopify is amazing yet their position as easiest to use is also their weakness. Features are tied to plans to they tend to nickel & dime. And since they are public and very much in the spotlight they will need nickels & dimes from time to time.
