Salla, Zid, Shopify or WooCommerce: choosing your store platform
There’s no single “best” platform, only the one that fits your situation. A quick comparison:

Hosted platforms (Salla, Zid, Shopify)
- Easy to launch and run without technical skills.
- Payments and shipping come pre-connected.
- Recurring fees, and customization is limited to what the platform allows.
WooCommerce on WordPress
- You fully own the store, with lots of design and plugin freedom.
- Needs good hosting and regular maintenance and updates.
Starting with a few products and want to move fast? A hosted platform is practical. Have a specific vision or plan to grow your own way? A self-hosted store gives you more freedom.
