7 things Shopify can do vs. Bluehost and WordPress
Provide commerce features
Shopify was built to make commerce better for everyone. Since it was designed for commerce, you’ll find everything from a POS system, high-converting checkouts, sleek store themes, and more. WordPress was originally built for blogging, so its commerce features are included as plug-ins. Bluehost was built as a hosting provider.
Guarantee reliable uptime
Unlike Bluehost and WordPress, Shopify guarantees a reliable uptime. Since promotional events can lead to a high volume of sales, you’ll want to ensure that your website will be able to withstand the volume. Shopify is built for high traffic volume. WordPress doesn’t provide hosting. Bluehost’s reliability is dependent on which plan you choose.
Offer integrated POS system
Bluehost与WordPress: which provides a better POS system? Actually, neither platform offers a first-party POS system at all. Fortunately, Shopify is a commerce platform with its own POS system that seamlessly integrates with your online store so you can get a quick snapshot of your business’ performance.
Ensure PCI DSS compliance
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) ensures that any platform that processes debit and credit card transactions does so securely. Shopify is certified Level 1 PCI DSS compliant, meaning your website can process secure transactions from day one. However, you’ll need to manually make your website PCI DSS compliant if you’re on Bluehost or WordPress.
Give unlimited bandwidth
Which platform has better bandwidth: Bluehost or WordPress? WordPress doesn’t provide hosting, so it doesn’t provide bandwidth. Bluehost offers unmetered bandwidth, which has bandwidth limits. Shopify provides unlimited bandwidth and unlimited storage, so you can add as many products, images, and files to your website as you need.
Share mobile app for shoppers
Since neither Bluehost nor WordPress specialize in commerce, Shopify is the only platform to offer a mobile app for shoppers, called Shop. You’ll be able to browse products from Shopify stores on the app so you can buy from local businesses hosted on Shopify.
Include built-in checkout
Unlike Bluehost and WordPress, Shopify offers a built-in checkout, where you can process transactions securely on your website. You’ll be able to sell products on your website from day one, with no additional plug-ins.
