Why Start a WordPress eCommerce Store?
WP has many benefits for eCommerce. The core WordPress platform is free, though expect to pay hosting and other fees for your eCommerce store. There are other plugins like Ecwid that offer free eCommerce store capabilities for WordPress users.

More and more brands are moving towards content because quality content is a sure way to get customers. On WP, you get the best of both worlds, content and commerce.

Other ecommerce platforms mostly work wonderfully on the ecommerce side, but doctor database the content side has one or two hiccups. I would never run a content-heavy site using Shopify. It's just not built for that.

With WP, you get excellent eCommerce and content management functionality. WordPress is the leading content management system, with around 60% of the market share. When it comes to eCommerce, it also outperforms. There are more online stores on a WP plugin than on any other platform.

WP also allows for headless eCommerce . That’s the ability to mix and match platforms to get the online store of your imagination. It keeps the eCommerce engine separate. That’s why I like the BigCommerce plugin for WP – great eCommerce and awesome content management. This is the way of the future – it will change a lot of things in the coming years.

It's ideal for double dipping an affiliate store and a product site into one place. You don't have to separate both parts of your business if you're interested in private/white labeling and affiliate marketing.

Highest rating for SEO
If SEO is a priority for you, start your eCommerce business on WordPress. It is the best for SEO. This is not a rumor. A few months ago, I analyzed eCommerce platforms with my team. WP scored the highest in SEO tools and average organic traffic.

Native WP out of the box has some SEO tools and there are plenty of plugins to speed that up. From experience, I tried Shopify for my products and found that WP worked better for SEO.
