Get started with Shopify, an E-Commerce platform focused on simplicity.
Shopify is the fastest growing e-commerce platform and accounts for an estimated 25.5% of the world’s digital storefronts.* It is a subscription-based CMS celebrated for its flexibility and operates within its own ecosystem separate from WordPress.
Plans and Offerings
Plans include Basic, Standard, Advanced and Plus, and can either be paid monthly or annually. All plans are flexible and allow business owners to upgrade or downgrade at any time, making it built to scale. Shopify accounts provide shop owners with access to thousands of trusted third party apps within the Shopify app store, as well as built-in tools and pre-built website themes. Each plan include varying levels of customer support from their dedicated team of experts, either through live chat, email or phone support.
Hosting, Security and POS
All Shopify-powered stores are cloud-based and hosted on Shopify’s own powerful servers. With a 99.999% average uptime it is very reliable. Shopify protects its stores with robust security measures including SSL certification and PCI compliance. The platform is renowned worldwide for its user-friendly dashboard that provides access to products, customers, orders, detailed sales reports and analytics. Brands with physical storefronts may also benefit from Shopify POS to ensure sales, inventory and customer data remain in sync.
SEO and Multi-Channel Sales
Shopify also offers advanced SEO functionality to help customers find your products via search engines. You can easily sell across multiple channels including Facebook, eBay, Amazon and Instagram to expand your brand’s reach and grow your audience. Orders placed using Shopify’s payment gateway incur a small transaction fee, typically between 2.6% and 2.4% + $0.30.

Sell with WooCommerce, the renowned E-Commerce platform built for WordPress.
WooCommerce is the current global market leader amongst all e-commerce platforms and holds a 38% market share.* Acquired by Automattic in 2015, it is a renowned open-source e-commerce platform that integrates directly within WordPress and is free to use. WooCommerce can be hosted with almost any web hosting provider, making it an incredibly versatile solution. Shop owners retail full control over their data and do not pay a monthly or annual subscription while running their storefronts.
WordPress Integration and Customizations
Small and medium-sized businesses and brands have the option to purchase WooCommerce-friendly themes from WooCommerce’s site or other online marketplaces and customize nearly every aspect of the design. Our team utilizes a premium theme for our projects that is specifically optimized for WooCommerce and is highly customizable and well-documented. WooCommerce sells a wide variety of premium plugin extensions directly through their website that are available for purchase individually, allowing you to custom tailor your shopping experience to fit your needs.
Hosting, Security and Optimizations
WooCommerce’s security is dependent on additional measures implemented by your web host or web agency that is managing your website. SSL certificates and security best practices are manually implemented to ensure PCI compliance. CDNs and caching environments may be utilized to supercharge content delivery. Backups are also managed by your web host or via third-party integrations.
Razorfrog’s sites are securely hosted with GridPane, the #1 platform for self-managed WordPress hosting. GridPane offers server-level WordPress optimizations, scheduled backups, staging environments and excellent support – everything you need for running a successful shop online.
Payment Gateways and POS integration
All major payment gateways including but not limited to Stripe, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, Square and Klarna may be integrated into WooCommerce stores and typical processing fees apply. For instance, orders placed using Stripe’s payment gateway incur a 2.9% + $0.30 transaction fee. All Brick & mortar stores can also connect their existing POS checkout system with WooCommerce to keep inventory and sales synchronized.
