All the flexibility you need
Buyers trust Shopify checkout
Hundreds of millions of people use a Shopify Checkout every year. Its look, feel, and flow has become highly recognizable, and therefore immediately trusted.
Integrate digital wallets in clicks, not months
Shopify makes it easy to integrate digital wallets like Apple Pay in a matter of clicks. On Salesforce, customers are often quoted tens of thousands of dollars and months of work.
Customize how your checkout looks
From fonts and colors to favicons and borders, branding your checkout experience is easy on Shopify. And with the Graph QL branding API, you can push customizations to the next level.
Change how your checkout works
Make your checkout function in surprising and delightful ways with all sorts of UI, post-purchase, discount, and pixel extensions.
Extend or replace the backend
Use Shopify Functions to extend or replace key parts of Shopify Checkout’s backend with custom logic.
Collect rich customer data
Add custom pixels to collect shopper data and track checkout performance. Then marvel at the results.
02 Total cost of ownership
Salesforce Commerce Cloud is a big investment. The initial site build and launch is significant, and it’s not a one-time cost. Its steep licensing fees and maintenance costs are long term.
Beyond licensing fees, building a Salesforce Commerce Cloud store is pricey, normally costing hundreds of thousands of dollars per year. Sinking this kind of investment into a new ecommerce site can make some businesses reluctant to cut their losses and replatform. But when they do, they may find they get the same functionality and innovation at a much lower price point.
When you switch to Shopify,
you reduce your total cost of ownership from initial setup to ongoing costs, with no hidden fees or surprise add-ons.
All brands are different, but with more than 100 migrations1 from Salesforce Commerce Cloud to Shopify, it’s clear that the move is worth it. These are a few main observations, as well as findings from research commissioned by Shopify from a leading independent consulting firm:

Say hello to lower licensing costs
Shopify Plus pricing starts at just ₹175,000 a month, which includes the core platform and a wide range of native enterprise capabilities. In contrast, Salesforce licensing costs are priced at 1%–3% of gross merchandising value. Our pricing structure is just one reason Salesforce platform fees are 14% higher on average than ours.

Meet savvy shoppers on the newest platforms
From TikTok and Snap to AR and AI, Shopify enables businesses like Slam Jam to sell in the newest channels that consumers are using.
Shopify keeps businesses moving forward
Because of our commitment to commerce, we make sure our customers are always getting the latest, most relevant capabilities to fuel their businesses. Meanwhile, because Salesforce does not prioritize Commerce Cloud, their customers run the risk of falling behind as they wait longer for fewer updates.
All in on commerce
Shouldn’t your commerce partner be 100% focused on commerce?
Shopify was built, not bought
True to our mission, we built Shopify from the ground up to make commerce better for everyone. Our solution comes with native tools across B2C, B2B, and retail—all on the same infrastructure. On the flip side, Salesforce acquired their commerce solutions, and the result is a platform that has mixed architectures. This means Salesforce customers end up needing more integrations and developer support to pursue their goals.
Shopify invested $1.7B in commerce R&D in 2023 alone
We’re standing by our mission of making commerce better for everyone. So much so, that in 2023, we invested nearly $1.7B into the future of commerce.
04 Everything simplified

99.99% uptime
Offer customers a reliable and secure experience with maximum uptime
Unthrottled APIs

Powerful optionality
Future-proof your business by integrating best-in-class services across your stack
Empower business users
Rather than forcing our customers to rely on developers for simple tasks, we designed Shopify to enable everyday team members to make simple updates like discounting, theme customization, and app configuration. Cambridge Satchel Company did this, resulting in dramatically lower costs.
Get efficient composability
Choose out of the box, custom, or both. Innovate fast with Shopify's native capabilities, pre-built apps, and integrations. And tailor components to your unique needs by leveraging APIs and backend customization.
Move fast, without friction
Shopify’s pre-built integrations, plug-and-play apps, and strong native functionality allow brands to be more agile than ever before, and do more with less. Compare that to Salesforce, where adding digital wallets like Apple Pay can take months and cost tens of thousands of dollars.
Affordable developers? Check.
Shopify developers are easy to find and affordable. Brands using Salesforce Commerce Cloud B2C require highly specialized developers who know both Demandware and LWC (Lightning Web Components).
Focus your developers on what really matters
With Shopify you can shift your development team’s focus away from plumbing, and onto projects that directly affect your business—from meeting key goals, to increasing revenue.
