7 things Shopify can do over Salesforce and WordPress

Specialize in commerce

Neither Salesforce nor WordPress started as a commerce business. Salesforce began as a customer relationship management (CRM) sales tool. WordPress began as a content management system (CMS) that lets you build a blog. Shopify is a commerce platform that allows both online and offline selling.

Provide better security

When comparing Salesforce vs. WordPress in terms of security, neither includes an SSL certificate for website visitors to safely browse their users’ websites. Shopify does. Shopify takes security very seriously. Shopify is also certified Level 1 PCI DSS compliant to ensure security of all financial transactions for its merchants and their customers.

Sell offline tools

Currently, Salesforce and WordPress don’t provide a first-party POS system to its users. Fortunately, Shopify does. Shopify’s POS system seamlessly integrates both its online and offline sales to provide a completely unified sales report. You’ll be able to have custom staff permissions and advanced inventory features.

Protect against fraud

Both Salesforce and WordPress require you to install third-party tools to protect against fraud. On Shopify, fraud protection is built-in. You’ll be able to easily assess risk through low, medium, or high callouts when a customer orders from your site.

Make testing easy

Neither Salesforce nor WordPress make the trial period easy. Salesforce requires a demo before sign-up. WordPress offers no trial period at all. Shopify allows you to test its platform with no upfront payment required. You’ll be able to design and even launch your store during this period.

Encourage easy customization

Both Salesforce and WordPress require some coding skills to use their platforms. Shopify’s easy to use drag-and-drop tool lets you build your first or hundredth store with no coding skills required. With its theme editor, you’ll find all the areas you can customize with ease.

Give unlimited bandwidth and storage

Unlike Salesforce and WordPress, Shopify provides unlimited bandwidth, storage, and hosting. Salesforce has a limit of 10.2 GB on its Professional plan. You need a third-party for unlimited bandwidth and storage for WordPress.

We’ve been able to build something in 3 years that a lot of brands haven’t actually gotten to in 10 years.
