⚡ TL;DR
WordPress for content-led sites, Shopify for order-heavy stores; maintenance vs simplicity tradeoff.
WordPress + WooCommerce wins when content leads: guides, comparisons, and flexible layouts. You trade some maintenance for control. Shopify wins when you live in orders: variants, discounts, POS, and checkout that just works.
Either can be fast or slow — the theme and apps decide. Pick the one your team will actually update.
