Run this evidence test
Build one complete product, tax, shipping, refund, and abandoned-cart flow. Check which capabilities require a higher plan.
Build the editorial and service pages beside the store. Wix is strongest when commerce is one part of a broader site, so test bookings, forms, content, and mobile editing together.
Cost and switching questions
Record the subscription tier, payment path, paid extensions, theme work, implementation, migration, maintenance, support, and the cost of changing platforms later. Require an export sample for products, customers, orders, and content before treating the platform as portable.
Who should look elsewhere
Complex catalogs, deep multichannel operations, and highly customized fulfillment may outgrow the simpler workflow. Compare one platform with a different operating model so the decision reflects workflow tradeoffs rather than brand familiarity.
