7 things Shopify can do vs. GoDaddy and WordPress

Build with ecommerce

GoDaddy and WordPress both allow you to launch an online store. However, WordPress requires you to integrate with WooCommerce, and GoDaddy’s store options can be somewhat limited if you have a major business. On the other hand, Shopify is built specifically for ecommerce, providing you with the themes, apps, and features you need, whether you’re running just an online store or you also have a physical location.

Made for scaling

WordPress is a great platform for getting your blog started, but when you start scaling, it isn’t uncommon for things to start to break. GoDaddy can be ideal for a small business, but it eventually will place a cap on how much traffic your store can handle. With Shopify, you can go from a small business to a large enterprise with all the features you need. No matter the size of your current business, you can keep growing with Shopify until you’re an ecommerce giant.

Unlimited products

GoDaddy limits you to 2,500 products for your store. WordPress doesn’t limit the number of products you can sell but it does place limitations on your storage capacity. As a result you need to integrate with a third-party platform to extend your storage. Shopify offers unlimited products right off the bat, enabling you to sell thousands of products on your enterprise-level ecommerce store without any hiccups.

Built-in email marketing

WordPress requires you to integrate with third-party tools to start email marketing for your online store. GoDaddy requires you to sign up for an additional plan to start using its email marketing features. Shopify provides built-in email marketing that lets you start contacting your customers, sending newsletters, mailing promotions, and more, all from your own domain name.

Complete platform

WordPress has an extensive list of plug-ins that can help you extend your store’s functionality. However, without those plug-ins, the platform can be somewhat limited. GoDaddy has several features that make it a great starter choice, but you need to integrate with third-party services to really grow your business. Shopify, however, is a complete ecommerce platform, with everything you need to get started and scale your business, such as marketing, analytics, content management, and more.

More creative freedom

GoDaddy provides several templates to get started but limits your creative freedom. WordPress requires knowledge of HTML, CSS, and more to really change things in your store. With Shopify, you have complete control and creative freedom without having to code, unless you want to.

Free trial

WordPress doesn’t provide the luxury of a free trial. With GoDaddy, you need to pay to start selling online. Shopify provides a free trial for everyone.

Why merchants choose Shopify over GoDaddy vs. WordPress

Commerce-focused apps

GoDaddy doesn’t come with additional apps or plug-ins, even though you can integrate with third-party services. WordPress comes with an assortment of more than 50,000 plug-ins to provide your store with more features. However, WordPress’ apps have a variety of use cases. Shopify’s 6,000+ apps are entirely focused on ecommerce, making them easier to sort through and a better fit for your online store’s needs.

Shopify POS

WordPress and GoDaddy allow you to integrate with point-of-sale services if you need them. However, unlike the others, Shopify’s point-of-sale feature is natively included and allows you to future-proof your business. Your customers can browse in-store and purchase online, or browse online and pick up in-store, connecting both digital and physical locations seamlessly.

Free SSL certificate

Both GoDaddy and WordPress require you to purchase an SSL certificate to keep your site secure. On the other hand, Shopify stores include a free 256-bit SSL certificate with your domain. This means that all of your customer credit card and transaction information, as well as your pages and content, are protected by bank-level security.

Shopify Ping

The Shopify Ping app is a messaging app that lets you chat with your customers as well as your team. You can use it to make collaboration easier and drive sales by building better customer relationships.
