WordPress, WooCommerce and Shopify Development
WordPress, WooCommerce and Shopify solve related but different problems. WordPress is a content platform, WooCommerce adds store workflows to WordPress, and Shopify is a hosted commerce platform. The best fit depends on who maintains the content, how orders are processed and which platform costs the business accepts.
Choose WordPress for content-led sites
WordPress can suit a company site, blog or content catalogue when the team wants a familiar publishing workflow. Review themes, plugins, hosting, updates and access roles as part of the decision. A large plugin list can add cost and maintenance, so include only components with a clear purpose.
- Map pages and post types the team will maintain
- Check plugin ownership, licences and update history
- Plan backups, updates and recovery access
- Use WooCommerce only when the store workflow fits
Compare WooCommerce with Shopify as a store owner
WooCommerce gives a business control over its WordPress store environment but requires hosting and plugin management. Shopify hosts the core store platform and charges according to its current plans and selected apps. Both may involve payment-provider, shipping, tax or app costs; verify current terms directly with each provider.
- List products, variants, taxes, shipping and returns
- Identify who owns product and order data
- Check required apps and their recurring costs
- Test checkout and order administration before launch
Plan migration and platform ownership
Moving platforms can affect URLs, product records, customer data, redirects and analytics. Inventory what must move, verify data export permissions and test critical flows before changing DNS. A migration plan should describe what can be preserved and what cannot be guaranteed, including rankings.
- Create a URL and content inventory before migration
- Back up the source store and check export quality
- Plan redirects for changed URLs
- Keep platform accounts in the business owner’s name
Project scope and pricing
BuntyTech confirms ₹4,999 for a five-page website and ₹12,000–₹20,000 for ecommerce projects depending on the business and agreed requirements. These are not platform-specific price guarantees. Shopify plans, apps, payment fees, hosting and licences can be separate recurring costs.

Frequently asked questions
Should I choose WooCommerce or Shopify?
Choose after comparing catalog needs, team skills, platform control, recurring costs, integrations and maintenance. The best option depends on the business workflow, not a universal ranking.
Does BuntyTech publish separate fixed prices for each platform?
No platform-specific fixed price is confirmed on this page. The confirmed ecommerce range is ₹12,000–₹20,000 depending on the business and agreed scope; platform subscriptions and apps are separate.
Can you migrate an existing store?
Migration can be scoped after reviewing the platform, data export, product structure and URL changes. Backups, testing and redirects should be planned; search rankings cannot be guaranteed.
