Honest Comparison
Shopify or WooCommerce — which is right for you?
We build both. Here's our honest take on which suits which type of business.
Choose Shopify if...
- You want the easiest day-to-day management
- You're selling primarily on social / multi-channel
- You have a large, fast-growing product catalogue
- You want a mobile app to manage orders on the go
- You don't need deep content / blogging capability
Choose WooCommerce if...
- You want zero monthly platform fees
- You need content marketing alongside your store
- You want complete design and technical control
- You need NZ-specific payment gateways (POLi, etc.)
- You're integrating with NZ-specific tools (Xero, etc.)

Shopify Questions Answered
Common questions from Auckland businesses about Shopify.
Is Shopify available in New Zealand?
Yes. Shopify is fully available in NZ and Shopify Payments (their built-in payment gateway) now works for NZ merchants, accepting NZD credit and debit cards. You can also add AfterPay, Laybuy, and PayPal as additional gateways.
How much does Shopify cost per month?
Shopify plans start at $49 USD/month (Basic), $132 (Shopify), and $399 (Advanced). This is on top of our design fee and any app subscriptions. For businesses on tight margins or lower volume, WooCommerce may be more cost-effective — we'll advise honestly.
Can you migrate my existing store to Shopify?
Yes. We handle migrations from WooCommerce, Wix, Squarespace Commerce, and other platforms. Products, customers, and order history can typically be migrated. URL redirects are set up to preserve SEO.
What theme do you use?
We primarily work with high-performance themes like Dawn (Shopify's own), Prestige, or Impulse depending on your brand and product type. We don't use cheap third-party themes with bloated code.
Can Shopify handle large product catalogues?
Yes. Shopify scales extremely well for large catalogues. If you have thousands of SKUs or complex variant structures, Shopify is often a better choice than WooCommerce due to its more reliable inventory management.
What's the difference between a Shopify build and a Shopify template?
A Shopify template (from their Theme Store) is what everyone gets by default. We customise the theme to match your brand — your fonts, colours, homepage layout, product page structure — so your store looks and functions differently from competitors using the same theme.
