  4. What is Zen Cart? Zen Cart is an open-source ecommerce shopping cart, meaning that it’s free to download and use. It was first released in 2004 and has been constantly updated since then, with new features regularly added by the development team. ©Copyright by www.endertech.com

  5. What is Shopify? Shopify is a hosted ecommerce platform. Shopify makes it easy to set up an online store with all the features you need, including payment processing and customizable themes. Shopify provides hosting services to secure all your data on their servers - they don’t have access to any of your financial or personal information since that’s stored securely in Shopify accounts. ©Copyright by www.endertech.com

  6. Zen Cart vsShopify – Similarities The similarities between Shopify and Zen Cart are that Shopify charges a monthly fee based on how many transactions you process, whether you use Shopify Payments. Shopify has no contract, so there’s nothing to cancel if you want out of the service - stop paying your fees. ©Copyright by www.endertech.com

  7. Zen Cart vsShopify – Differences The differences between Shopify and Zen Cart are: Shopify charges $79/month for their lowest-tiered plan, including 100 products, essential SEO tools and unlimited capacity. Shopify Payments is included in this fee, but Shopgate (a third-party payment gateway) costs an extra $30/month on top of the monthly Shopify fee. Zen Cart does not charge by transaction like Shopify - there’s a flat rate to use Zen Cart with no specific Shopify fees or contract necessary. You can also make money using Zen Cart since you own all your data! 1. Cost ©Copyright by www.endertech.com

  8. 2. Performance Shopify uses Shopify’s servers to run their platform, so you don’t have control over where your data is stored. Shopify’s performance also depends on the number of other users using Shopify since Shopify does not own or operate its server infrastructure! Zen Cart has a dedicated team for support and development, which means faster responses from customer service. Zen-Cart.com offers free installation services as well as paid customizations if necessary. ©Copyright by www.endertech.com

  9. 3. Ease of Use Zen Cart is more difficult to use than Shopify. Shopify’s drag-and-drop editor makes it easy for beginners, while Zen Cart requires coding knowledge to get the most out of their website. 4. Themes While both platforms offer themes, Shopify has over 200 professional eCommerce templates explicitly designed for their platform, while Zen Cart only offers 13 customizable themes (with many having additional purchase requirements). ©Copyright by www.endertech.com
