Regular readers will know all about the Shopify platform and how we believe it is the best platform on the planet for owners of ecommerce stores large and small.

Many merchants seem to agree with us as Shopify goes from strength to strength. A total of 1.75 million merchants now sell on the Shopify platform worldwide compared with 42,000 merchants in 2012 and 377,000 merchants in 2016.

But how does Shopify compare to other ecommerce platforms out there?

We start this little mini-series of posts by looking at Shopify vs Kartrocket.

Like Shopify, Kartrocket also specializes in end-to-end ecommerce software but is far less established on a global scale. It is a few years younger than Shopify and was established in 2012 in New Delhi, India (Shopify is an Ottawa-based company).

Kartrocket has recently changed its name to Shiprocket 360 but everyone still knows it as Kartrocket, so that’s how we’ll refer to it here for the time being.

How do the key features, performance, and pricing of Kartrocket compare to Shopify?

David and Goliath battles are not unusual in ecommerce – small stores battling the big ones and often coming out on top.

But what about ecommerce platforms?

Shopify has rapidly become one of the Goliaths of ecommerce, with a total of 1.75 million merchants on the platform. In 2012, there were just 42,000 merchants, representing an astonishing growth rate in the past nine years.

Shopaccino is one of the many platforms trying to play catch up with Shopify.

In this Shopify vs Shopaccino review, we consider the relative strengths of each platform and how they compare with features.
