Shopify vs WordPress.
The ROI Reality.
India mein Shopify vs WooCommerce India ki bahas purani hai. Sasta hosting setup aksar long-term mein mehenga padta hai. Let's break down the math for Indian D2C brands.
Shopify: "Build, Not Maintain"
Designed for merchants who value time. Shopify India provides a closed ecosystem where security and performance are managed for you. Aapko server patches ya plugin conflicts ki tension nahi leni.
WooCommerce
Open source lagta sasta hai, par hidden costs aapka budget kha jati hain. Professional scale ke liye ye "Technical Debt" ban jata hai.
Why Indian D2C Brands are Migrating to Shopify
In the last 2 years, we have seen a massive shift in the Indian market. Brands starting on WooCommerce often hit a "Glass Ceiling" once they cross 50 orders a day. The reason isn't the platform, it's the **Maintenance Trap**. When you are running Meta Ads, a 2-second delay in page load can increase your Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) by 40%.
Global Speed, Local Ease
Shopify has localized its servers for India. Whether your customer is in Indore or Bangalore, the store setup by ReadyFlow ensures sub-second loading.
RTO & COD Security
Unlike WooCommerce where you need 5 different plugins for WhatsApp verification, Shopify offers integrated solutions that work out of the box.
The "Free" Myth of WordPress
WordPress is free, but Business isn't. To match Shopify's standard performance on WordPress, you will need:
- Premium Managed Hosting (₹1,500/mo)
- Security & Firewall (₹800/mo)
- Speed Optimization Plugins (₹500/mo)
- Total: ₹2,800/mo — which is already more than Shopify's basic plan.
Stop playing dev.
Start being CEO.
Scalability is a choice. Choose ReadyFlow.
