If you’re setting up for ecommerce and plan to have a thriving brand and successful store, I would 100% go with Shopify because of their dedication to ecommerce.
For shipping, you have a lot of power / control with Shopify. In your case. You can set the shipping rates based on the product. I do a lot of work with automation, and led the development of an app that automatically sends fulfillment requests / emails to 3rd party suppliers (Order Automator). I’m always looking for more ways to automate so if you get on Shopify and need help with automation feel free to reach out.
An additional note on shipping, I like using the apps Shippo and Easy Ship for label printing, but people also use Shopify’s native feature + 3rd party services like Ship Station.
My team recently did a migration project for a client moving from Wix to Shopify, the main reasons they gave for migrating:
- Pages didn’t work great on mobile.
- Wix’s customer service is to say the least terrible.
- Wix is far behind Shopify in terms of the apps that can enhance your e-commerce.

Shopify is a powerhouse, in that you have a ton of app options to enhance functionality, plus a powerful API for custom development.
