Which is a Better Option Shopify or Magento?
                     
Introduction
 Magento is an ecommerce platform built on open source technology 
which provides online merchants with a flexible shopping cart 
system, as well as control over the look, content and functionality of 
their online store.
 Shopify is a commerce platform that allows anyone to set up 
an online store and sell their products.
Shopify Pros 
 Tons of beautiful responsive store 
themes to choose.
 Great app store for extending the 
functionality of your website.
 Pretty good customer support
 Easy to use
 Lots of checkout and payment options
 Large community of dedicated fans
Inventory Management
 Shopify isn’t designed for big online stores as it lacks some 
advanced features. you can always integrate apps to add features 
like promotional sell-offs, discounts for registered customers, and 
more. 
 Magento offers basic out-of-the-box inventory management 
features, just like Shopify, but this ecommerce solution differs 
significantly when it comes to advanced features. For instance, there 
are many different variation options (product sizes, quantity, colors). 
Magneto Cons
Customization 
Capabilities 
 Both platforms offer robust customization capabilities, via an 
advanced interface that allows you to edit the raw HTML/CSS code 
directly to give you total control over the design and the look-and-feel 
of your store.
 Also, Shopify offers a theme editor that allows you to play around 
with the look and feel of your theme, and it has the ability to hide 
sections, so that you can work on future updates beforehand without 
having the duplicate the theme, or work on a staging server.
Apps and Add-Ons
Performance
Magento is a self-hosted platform, so you can choose your own server 
and make all the required changes to speed up the store performance. 
With the release of Magento 2, many new enhancements were added to 
the platform that allowed you to optimize pages for fast delivery, minimize 
the server response time for store activities, and make backend operations 
more efficient. 
Shopify performance is recalculated daily. Due to the way the score is 
calculated, your score might not change immediately after you make 
changes to your online store. Performance scores can vary slightly 
between tests, and an average over multiple days better represents your 
store's day-to-day performance.


Hosting
 Shopify is a cloud-based platform, meaning you won’t have to 
search for third-party hosting. The platform takes care of operating 
your servers, optimizing it for performance, and security patches. 
However, a significant downside of a cloud solution is that you have 
minimum control over it because it’s run, maintained, and monitored 
by Shopify.
 Magento can be hosted on-site, in the cloud, or through a third-party. 
In cloud hosting, your ecommerce store is fully hosted and run by 
Magento, while in open source you need to purchase your domain 
and hosting. The benefit is that you get complete access to the 
server and home directory, thus you can do core programming to 
make a customized store.
