Releasing from 2008, Magento is the most popular eCommerce platform with over 200.000 retailers worldwide and 2 versions: Magento Community and Magento Enterprise.

 

Advantages

Technology

Magento hosted on dedicated servers or cloud plan to keep store running stably. Developers need to have core technical knowledge and experiences in coding to install and control Magento properly.

 

Time

Magento’s flexible architecture also makes it complicated. The more Magento is complex, the more time it need to set up and customize as in other solutions. It requires developer’s time to get up the learning curve and be experts.

#6308 Which is the best solution to change to woocommerce with high data security?

Posted by alexnguyen on 14 January 2016 - 07:54 AM in WooCommerce general discussions

Mr.Gregory, a store owner in Florida, shares his experience on risk of leaking data when migrating shopping cart. He moved his old website to WooCommerce using data transfer service of technology company that he found on internet. Unfortunately, his business went down continuously and the revenue dropped significantly in spite of paying high cost for migration process.

 
His marketing team investigated and finally found out that they lost a lot of customers information to our competitors. He looked for reasons with hope to save his business.  The reason was that during migration process, his website data was transferred from Source Store to center server of the company providing migration service and processed there before being pushed to WooCommerce target store. It seemed that someone took advantage of this gap to steal customer information. It is a serious error.
 
How did Mr.Gregory solve this problem? The answer is at http://blog.litexten...-data-security/

However, in such a complicated market like ecommerce platform market, it seems to be difficult to give right decision between several available options. Therefore, this article will show you top three favorite shopping carts that are best-loved all over the world. They are Magento, Prestashop and WooCommerce.

 

top-3-favorite-shopping-carts.jpg

 

Magento

 

If you need a completely customizable online store, Magento will fulfill your needs. Being a reputation open-source e-commerce software, Magento lets you tailor-make any aspect of your online store and make it work as exactly what you want.

Why do we say that Magento is the best choice for merchants? Because since it was first launched in 2007, it has quickly become one of the most popular carts online with its powerfulness and a rich feature set. Magento also offers plenty of customizations to give you the flexibility to maximize sales and optimize your operations; therefore, it seems to be available to all types of businesses.

Another advantage of Magento we want to mention here is it cost-effectiveness. With two different editions: Community Edition (CE) và Enterprise Edition (EE), Magento offers different types of solutions to fit your business. For small businesses, Magento Community, which is free version, is a great way to get started with. The company also offers Magento Enterprise, which gives you enterprise-level functionality and support to configure your website and back-end workflows.

 

Prestashop

 

Prestashop was launched in 2007 and quickly impress users by its decent efficiency, good functionality list and rather simple modification. Today more than 200,000 ecommerce stores run on PrestaShop technology. If Magento requires a little technical knowledge to use, PrestaShop seems to be more suitable to who are just starting their online store because administration panel is quite intuitive and easy to master. It’s especially important for those who are just starting their Internet adventure.

The significant feature of Prestashop is free of cost & open source. We believe that Prestashop is the best choice if you have a tight budget but still want to run on an efficient ecommerce platform.

There are a lot of functionalities built in PrestaShop. Many of them which are no match for Magento are sufficient for beginners and intermediate online shop owners. Prestashop provides extensive feature sets for managing product listing, payments, shipping, manufacturers and suppliers.

 

WooCommerce

 

WooCommerce, which is a free WordPress plugin, is one of the fastest growing shopping carts. This plugin was created in 2011 and is now used by thousands of e-commerce websites worldwide. If you are thinking about creating your own online store, you definitely should give WooCommerce a chance because it does not take very long to install but works great.

Like Prestashop, WooCommerce is completely free to download. Despite being free, WooCommerce offers extensive features out of the box and especially it will not cost you a thing.  All you have to do is download this plugin, and you will have it in just a few minutes. However, it still looks professional. We are sure that customers will be impressed by how organized your online store is and how easy it is to pay for the products.

Moreover, the WooCommerce plugin allows you to build a WordPress-based online store quickly and easily. As a popular shopping-cart software, WooCommerce also gives you unlimited capabilities and endless customization options from a variety of themes and extensions throughout the Web.

 

In conclusion, we suggest Magento, Prestashop and WooCommerce for your website because these outstanding feature. We also know that it is not easy to choose the right shopping cart at the first time especially to the starter. But don’t worry because LitExtension will help you to correct the mistake with shopping cart migration tools.

Customer review (by Luc):

 

Outstanding customer service

Tool is working exactly like it should. I had few problems because my shops are heavy modified but litextension customer service was always there. Script was custom modified for me and they helped me with few other things, always as soon as possible. In my case tool was not cheap because i have large number of orders/customers but first of all - there is no other (cheaper) tool. And whats most important, with such a perfect customer service its worth it. I will migrate from prestashop 1.4 to 1.6 few other stores soon and i already know that whole process will be easy.
