Shopify vs. Salesforce Commerce Cloud

Only one platform is the leader in conversion

If you’re not selling on a platform dedicated to commerce, you’re getting second best. Switch to Shopify Plus for non-stop innovation, up to 36% higher conversion, and a commerce partner for life.

There’s a reason brands are leaving Salesforce Commerce Cloud. What’s keeping you?
