Ecommerce Stack Decision Framework
E-commerce stack decision framework
A disciplined framework for choosing an e-commerce platform: Shopify, ikas, WooCommerce, Shopier, OpenCart, Magento or a headless setup: based on the merchant's real volume, language needs, payment model, hosting preference, legal obligations and a 5-year total cost of ownership. It replaces 'everyone uses Shopify' with a weighted 7-dimension score and a migration ROI calculation.

Choosing a platform on instinct is how five-year regrets start. Seven client data points feed a weighted matrix, three stacks get honest TCO projections, and Turkey's legal surface is mapped before any recommendation lands.
- Pulls 7 data points from the client first: order volume, revenue, customization needs, language count, payment gateways, hosting constraints and the team's technical level.
- Scores each candidate platform (Shopify, ikas, WooCommerce, Shopier, OpenCart, headless) in a weighted decision matrix, instead of yielding to the 'everyone uses Shopify' reflex.
- Projects 5-year total cost of ownership for at least 3 stacks: subscription, transaction fees against real revenue, plugins, hosting and developer maintenance hours.
- If a migration is on the table, prices it honestly: data export hours, URL mapping, theme rebuild, plus the expected 15-30% organic traffic dip over 3 to 6 months.
- Maps the legal surface for Turkey: the PCI-DSS burden per stack, KVKK cross-border data transfer requirements and the e-invoice obligation above the revenue threshold.
- Delivers the recommendation as a brief: the scored matrix, the TCO comparison and a migration checklist covering 301 redirect maps, sitemap resubmission and analytics re-wiring.

-
Does it actually weigh Turkish platforms like ikas and Shopier, or only the global names?
Yes, ikas, Shopier and OpenCart are in the comparison alongside Shopify, WooCommerce and Magento. Language and local payment models are part of the criteria, not an afterthought.
-
Is this a genuine decision or someone's favorite platform dressed up?
The call is driven by your real volume, payment model, hosting choice, legal duties and five-year total cost, not trend. Two different stores can correctly land on two different platforms here.
-
Does it then migrate or build my store?
No, it gets you to the right platform decision with evidence behind it. Building or migrating onto the chosen platform is the implementation work that follows.
