    The main difference between the two, is that Shopify is a hosted platform and Magento is self-hosted. A hosted platform, like Shopify, takes care of all your hosting worries for you. All hosting costs are included within your monthly plan with no extra effort or expense required from you.

Both platforms offer you powerful features and are well designed but with Magento, you have to provide your own hosting and Shopify takes care of all your setup issues.

    I think, it depends. Are you new to ecommerce and want to build a simple store to handle 100 products? Shopify is the best solution for small retail to medium-sized businesses wanting to create an online presence. Shopify is known for its usability and provides great features for those who don’t have much experience building online stores and want to start selling ASAP.

    If you are looking for a solution with unlimited features and scalable to handle your business growth, Magento is the best choice. Magento is the right solution for large companies and enterprises, which require advanced functionality and a high level of customization.

    Magento has better payment processor options than Shopify. Shopify has fewer payment gateway options, and it imposes its own transaction fees unless you use its own option, Shopify Payments, which can be quite restrictive. Magento is more flexible than Shopify, in that it enables you to customize your store however you like with code, but it’s much trickier to use overall – which will make it hard for most users to build a store to be proud of.
