Platform
Korte omschrijving i

Shopify is a SaaS e-commerce platform focused on ease of use, scalability and a large ecosystem of apps and themes.

Magento (Adobe Commerce) is a powerful open-source e-commerce platform with endless flexibility, but often comes with high costs and complex management.
Kosten / TCO i

Fixed subscription pricing. Hosting, security and updates included. Low entry costs.

Licence costs (for Adobe Commerce), hosting, customisation and maintenance make Magento relatively expensive.
Hosting & infrastructuur i

Fully hosted by Shopify with a global CDN. Always scalable.

Magento requires self-hosting or a partner. Management and scalability sit with the merchant or implementation partner.
Updates & onderhoud i

Updates run automatically, with no impact on merchants.

Major upgrades and patches are complex and time-consuming. Often have an impact on customisations.
Performance / snelheid i

Out-of-the-box fast load times and excellent Core Web Vitals.

Performance depends on hosting, caching and code quality. With a good setup Magento can be fast.
Flexibiliteit i

Highly flexible through apps and extensive APIs. Less deep customisation possible than open-source.

Open-source and extremely flexible. Ideal for customisation, but complex and costly to maintain.
Design / thema's i

Syncer offers its own framework and, together with Online Store 2.0, makes customisation simpler or sometimes even unnecessary.

Many themes available. Custom designs are often built fully bespoke.
Apps & ecosysteem i

Large app ecosystem with thousands of integrations and extensions.

Extensive extension marketplace, but quality varies. High dependency on partners.
SEO & marketing i

Strong foundation for SEO. Apps available for advanced optimisation.

Strong SEO capabilities, but implementation is often technically complex.
Checkout & betalingen i

Award-winning checkout with high conversion. Shopify Payments and numerous PSPs available.

Fully customisable, but development work is required. Integrations with PSPs are widely available.
Meertaligheid / internationalisatie i

Multiple languages and markets via Shopify Markets. Multi-currency and multi-domain included.

Multi-store setup supports multiple languages and markets. Complex to manage.
Integraties / koppelingen i

Wide range of apps and API integrations. Many plug-and-play connections.

Many integrations via extensions and customisation. ERP and PIM often via a partner.
Beveiliging & compliance i

PCI DSS compliant. SSL included by default.

PCI DSS depends on hosting and implementation. Patches are needed regularly.
Support & community i

24/7 support from Shopify + a broad partner network.

Community-driven. Support via partners and agencies.
Time-to-market i

Fast implementations, often within a few weeks.

Implementations often take months due to complexity.
Schaalbaarheid i

Scalable to enterprise (Shopify Plus). CDN and infrastructure available worldwide.

Highly scalable with the right hosting. Popular with enterprise merchants.
USP's i

• User-friendly SaaS solution

• Fast implementation

• Extensive app ecosystem

• Extremely flexible open-source

• Enterprise scalability

• Strong SEO capabilities

Frequently asked questions

When is Magento a better fit than Shopify?
Magento makes sense when you have specific requirements (e.g. advanced B2B, custom flows or ERP-driven processes) that fit Magento's architecture better.
What happens to SEO and indexing?
We preserve SEO value with 301 redirects, metadata migration and technical checks. After go-live we monitor crawls and vitals.
Which data exactly can we migrate?
We migrate product data, customers, orders and content 1:1 where possible. Any data gaps are resolved with mapping and validation steps.
How do we replace apps/integrations I currently use in Shopify?
We map your current apps/integrations and replace them with equivalent extensions, custom solutions or middleware integrations.
What about multilingual and multi-store?
Depending on platform capabilities (e.g. Shopware Headless, Magento multi-store) we configure multilingual and markets optimally.
What are the total costs and lead time?
Preparation + implementation vary per scope. Plan indicatively for 4–10 weeks; we provide a schedule after intake.
