WOOCOMMERCE

If you already have a WordPress website, you can install the free Woocommerce plugin. It is open source, which means that anyone is free to develop the code. If you want to build an extensive webshop, then you need knowledge of web development with Woocommerce. It is also not suitable if you want to build a webshop with many functionalities. A webshop with Woocommerce is therefore only suitable for your company if you do not plan to set up a large webshop with complex sales methods and if you already have a website in WordPress.

ADVICE ON THE BEST WEBSHOP PLATFORM FOR YOUR BUSINESS

Of course we understand that due to all available Ecommerce platforms you can no longer see the wood for the trees. That is why you can always call us free of charge and for nothing for free advice for your company.


light speed


Lightspeed is originally a Canadian POS system and some time ago took over the Dutch SEOshop to offer omnichannel solutions with which you can sell from 1 system. Just like Shopify, it is a SaaS platform. It is an accessible webshop system with a focus on retailers who want to connect their physical store with a webshop. Lightspeed has a smart POS system, a user-friendly dashboard and a combined inventory management that makes Lightspeed the best platform for companies that want to do business online and offline. However, if you are looking for a large webshop with many complicated functionalities, it is better not to choose Lightspeed.


OpenCart


OpenCart is a free open source and user-friendly CMS and offers 13,000 free and paid plugins. By using extensions and templates you can easily build a webshop and with some knowledge of PHP you can easily expand it. A big downside of OpenCart is that the system is not completely search engine friendly, which nowadays plays a major role in the brand awareness of your webshop. OpenCart is the best webshop platform for starting and medium-sized companies and not suitable for large webshops due to the limited growth opportunities.
