شوبيفاي أم ووكومرس: أيهما أفضل للكويت؟

Shopify vs WooCommerce for Kuwait

Both platforms work for Kuwait ecommerce, but they serve different needs:

Choose Shopify when: You want fast launch (2-4 weeks), managed hosting, built-in inventory management, and you sell physical/digital products. Setup takes ~25-80 hours.

Choose WooCommerce when: You need full customization, content-heavy stores, tighter budget, and full code ownership. Setup takes ~40-120 hours.

Choose custom (Laravel/Next.js) when: You need complex business logic, marketplace features, or multi-vendor support. Setup takes ~130-400 hours.

KNET Support

Both Shopify and WooCommerce support KNET through MyFatoorah or Tap Payments plugins. Both also support BNPL options (Tabby, Taly, Deema). No difference in payment support.

Arabic Support

WooCommerce has native Arabic RTL through WPML/Polylang. Shopify requires apps like Weglot or Langify. WooCommerce wins on bilingual flexibility.
