7 things Shopify can do over BigCommerce vs. WordPress

Present a POS system

Neither BigCommerce nor WordPress offer a first-party POS system. POS systems are only available through third-party apps. Fortunately, Shopify offers a first-party POS system that seamlessly integrates with your ecommerce sales so you can get a quick snapshot on your overall business’ performance. With Shopify POS, you’ll have unlimited store staff access, in-store analytics, smart inventory management, and so much more.

Offer business loans

Unlike BigCommerce and WordPress, Shopify offers users the ability to get business loans without an application process. You’ll be able to get funds fast so you can fund payroll, inventory, or marketing. Repayment is made through a percentage of your sales.

Provide over 100 payment gateways

BigCommerce has over 65 payment gateways, whereas WordPress only offers payment gateways through its WooCommerce plug-in. However, Shopify offers over 100 payment gateways, including Shopify Payments, Google Pay, PayPal, and more.

Protect against fraud

Both BigCommerce and WordPress offer fraud prevention via a third-party integration. Shopify provides a first-party fraud prevention feature in your back end when a customer places an order. You’ll be able to easily assess whether an order is low, medium, or high risk to help protect your business against fraud.

Offer augmented reality

Unlike with BigCommerce and WordPress, on Shopify you’ll be able to add augmented reality multimedia on your product pages with ease. Shopify AR will help bring your products to life and give your customers more confidence when making a purchase.

Allow unlimited sales

WordPress sales are only possible through a plug-in like WP Shopify or WooCommerce. BigCommerce has sales limits of up to $180,000 annually, depending on your plan. Shopify allows unlimited sales on all pricing plans, as there’s no obligation to upgrade to other plans.

Include a buyer-facing app

Neither BigCommerce nor WordPress offer a buyer-facing app for shoppers. Shopify’s Shop app allows you to track, pay, and shop with ease.
