E-Commerce:

Opencart is completely a framework while Shopify is a portal which serves you

the unlimited hosting and no code access in it. Magento at both the ends exists in
dual forms i.e. a framework as well as a full-fledged package that can manage your
website itself too. While WooCommerce is a pervasive Plug-in.

OpenCart is an online store management system, which usually comes with a free
demo installation. “It has PHP written code, MySQL database support, and runs on
AJAX technology”.

 Its basic installation doesn’t involve any add-ons and content. You have to
purchase the paid version of OpenCart to get add-ons and its contrasting
features.
 OpenCart 2.0 allows you access the ADMIN panel from mobile itself.
 Good thing is, unlike Shopify or WordPress, you won’t have to rely completely
on them for your design, and functionalities

Magento:
 Unlike Shopify, its code is completely accessible. Including extensions, plug-ins, modules.
 It provides you a diversified cost window. (Hosting starts from $10 to $250 a month.)
 It works over multiple languages, currencies and provides tax-rates per location.
 It is available in 2 versions as CE and EE (Community edition and Enterprise edition).
 Magento scores 95 out of 100 in terms of SEO, which is factually the second highest
after Shopify. The score shows that it is SEO friendly, but one needs to know the rules of
the SEO game.
 Magento gives you some out of the box things such as Conical
tags for categories & products, Metatags for products & home pages. Moreover, it includes
promotional features as well as customer segmentation.

Shopify:

Shopify is a lavish ecommerce platform for online stores, reigning in its domain in a

positive posture. Unlike Magento and OpenCart, it doesn’t let the customer access to
the code but renders a prestigious service against of that, converting it into one of the
most popular ecommerce platforms available today.

Shopify:

 If you are not good with programming and codes, SHOPIFY  is made for people
like you. It provides complete code support and manages all the issues by
itself, that’s why it is called a self-hosted e-commerce solution.
 It has maximum compatibility in terms of SEO.

Woo Commerce:

WooCommerce is neither a complete CMS, nor it is an online portal alone, not

a framework as an individual. In fact, it is a plug-in developed by WordPress for
its design.

 It is free to use, easy to install and simpler for customization. The reason

behind its renounce is its simplicity. It only needs a WordPress installation and
hosting service.
 It has near about 1000 free plug-ins and 330 extensions. And many more if you
are willing to get them on paid mode. The figure of its plug-in downloads has
crossed millions.
