Main reasons for using Magento over Shopify

Hi Magento experts,

I am not a Magento user myself, but discussed how it compares with Shopify with a friend – aside from going feature by feature, what are some of the highlights you would point out with Magento vs. Shopify?

Below were a few of my bullets:

  • Magento is an open-source platform, which means that it is free to download and use, and you have complete control over the source code. This makes it a good option for businesses that need a high level of customization for their e-commerce platform.
  • Magento is a very scalable platform. It can easily handle large volumes of traffic and transactions, making it a good choice for businesses that expect to support a more extensive setup.
  • Magento has a large and active community of developers who create custom extensions and plugins that can add new features and functionality to your online store.

What else would you add?
