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.
