ideal.shop compared to Shopify

Shopify is a large, international provider of online shops. The platform has been around for many years and has built up a large catalogue of plugins developed by external partners.

In contrast, ideal.shop has developed most of the tools and integrations available on the platform. These tools are maintained and supported by ideal.shop, so it is not the customer’s responsibility to install or update them.
