The difference that matters

Volusion vs. Shopify

Side-by-side comparison of the features that impact your business most.

Feature Volusion Shopify
Hands-on support Included. Real people who know ecommerce. Mostly self-service. Premium support can cost extra.
Total cost of ownership Built-in features mean fewer apps and lower complexity. Many must-have features require paid apps.
Catalog & product flexibility Powerful tools for complex catalogs and variations. More rigid structure. Often requires apps or workarounds.
Wholesale / B2B Manage pricing, customer groups, and more. Often requires apps, custom development, or higher-tier plans.
Customization Real design flexibility without unnecessary roadblocks. Theme limitations. Changes often require developers.

One Site to Manage Wholesale and B2C

Volusion
Volusion gives merchants the ability to manage both B2B and B2C from one site without requiring a higher-tier plan or added platform cost, making it a simpler and more cost-effective solution.

Shopify
Shopify can support both B2B and B2C, but depending on the merchant’s needs, they may require Shopify Plus or additional apps to access more advanced functionality. Shopify Plus starts around $2,300 per month, before apps, development, integrations, or payment processing fees.


Your platform cost is more than your subscription.

A low monthly plan can become expensive when your business needs more apps, customization, integrations, and support. Volusion helps merchants reduce complexity with more of what they need built in.

Fewer third-party tools and workarounds to manage
More built-in flexibility for growing merchants
Real support from ecommerce experts

Volusion includes more of what you need — so you can invest in growth, not extra software.
