WordPress & WooCommerce is free and great for businesses who want an highly flexible store with top notch features that won’t break the bank with reference to content restrictions for only members, affiliate marketing management, online learning management system etc.

The major fee to be paid here is that of a Web Design company to help with the development.

Shopify

This a company that offers individuals and businesses, the ability to create online stores themselves without the need for specialized or technical knowledge.

Essentially, they have a moderately easy to use e-commerce software which they offer as software as a service (Saas) to end-users.

By signing up to use their platform (Shopify), you are able to register a domain name, connect it to your ready to use store, select a desired theme, upload products, setup payments, create a terms & conditions, FAQs or policies page and you’ll be good to start selling.

The major fee to be paid here is that of your preferred domain name (price depends on name uniqueness) and subscription type which starts at $29.99/month.
