    I personally would go for an open source solution rather than something like Shopify - A premium platform is good but it doesn't give you room for expansion in the future, at least an open source application will allow you to make modifications and further customisations in the future as time goes on.

    I've used OpenCart previously and found it to be quite good and well maintained.

    If proficient in programming, you should choose e-commerce for Wordpress. If you're newbie, you should choose Shopify with a domain.

    I'm using OpenCart, free open source, since 2012, for selling digital content and I'm very happy with this one. But I guess it all depends on your coding skills, your type of e-commerce, etc.

    Magento is good, as it is being used by many eCommerce sites. You can look into tutorials from UnderstandingE on how to set up a Magento eCommerce site.

    Magento2 is great and is a reference, however for templating, customizing models... you better be a programmer. Personnally I love this CMS, but for the clients who which to handle things, I set up Woocommerce.

    Hi! As my personal opinion, the most elastic eCommerce platform from your choices is Magento. Its features can extremely fit the needs for both small and big businesses. This platform is already mature and inexpensive. Yet this platform is may be more complicated than what others used.

    It depends on your skills. If you are a newbie in website developing it's better and easier to choose Shopify.

    I'd start a on Shopify first and then proceed to getting your own website when you have higher traffic.

    According to mine personal opinion shopify is the best platform for creating an ecommerce store. Because shopify provide advanced and secure features for online stores.
