E-commerce means Electronic Commerce. E-commerce is a one type of website used for selling and buying products
online. The examples of E-commerce are Magento, SAP hybris, IBM WebSphere Commerce, Oracle Commerce, etc.
WooCommerce and all the other plugin type shopping cart extensions for Wordpress, Drupal, Joomla CMS are
missing 99% of the features that are needed to run an E-commerce site
CMS with shopping cart plugin and E-commerce as systems are just incomparable
Vice versa E-commerce systems have CMS that are average at best
Businesses need both and the best solution is to integrate these two systems
What have you been told about offers too good to be true?
Actual cost is project + fixed 2 % from your online sales + 9-179 $/month
Complete vendor lock-in, no customisations, no API access, only few modules, no module customisation
Every shop looks like another. No shopping flow customisation. No own branding.
Avoid like plague consults that offer Shopify based solution. Try it your own if you want to.
Usually companies go around this in web shop integration so that all online sales is directed to one generic SAP
customer account (First Name: Web, Last Name: Sale). Only one Named User License is needed for online
customers.
SAP hybris license conditions forbid to use this loop hole anymore.
SAP ERP & hybris users must have SAP Named User License for every online customers for now on
The license cost impact is huge especially for SAP hybris B2C businesses
