Laravel ecommerce vs Shopify, which should I pick?

Pick Shopify when you want a fast, low-maintenance store with standard checkout, standard fulfilment, and limited custom business logic. The trade-off is platform fees, less control over data, and limits on what the storefront can do. Pick Laravel (often through Bagisto) when you need custom pricing rules, complex catalogs, multi-vendor or B2B workflows, deep ERP integration, or full ownership of the codebase and data. The honest answer is that most small DTC stores belong on Shopify, and most mid-market or B2B commerce belongs on Laravel.
