There is no single best option because it depends on what you are selling and how much control you want. Shopify is popular because it handles everything for you, from hosting to payments, and you can launch a store quickly without technical skills. But you pay monthly fees plus transaction costs, which can add up.

Some people overlook Squarespace, but it works well for smaller stores that care about design. If you sell a few high-quality products and want your site to look professional, Squarespace has beautiful templates. The e-commerce tools are decent, though not as powerful as Shopify or BigCommerce.

WooCommerce gives you total freedom, but that freedom comes with responsibility. You have to find good hosting, install security plugins, and keep everything updated or your site could break. For someone without tech experience, that can be stressful. Shopify removes all that hassle because they manage the backend for you.

It seems like you've explored several e-commerce platforms already, each with its own strengths and considerations. Shopify is well-regarded for its ease of use and comprehensive features, making it a popular choice for many online sellers. Squarespace, on the other hand, offers beautiful design templates and is suitable for smaller stores focusing on aesthetics.

In my opinion, the best software really depends on how simple you want the setup to be. If you want something that's easy and quick to launch, Shopify is usually the most straightforward because it already includes most of the tools you need to run an online store. Wix can also work well if you prefer a simple drag-and-drop builder and don't plan to manage a large catalog. From what many small sellers say, Shopify tends to feel more focused on e-commerce, which can make managing orders, payments, and shipping a bit smoother as your store grows.

If you want something super easy, Shopify is probably the go-to. If you like simple drag-and-drop stuff, Wix is fun and quick to set up. For people already using WordPress, WooCommerce gives more control, but yeah, it can get a bit technical. And if you care a lot about how your site looks, Squarespace has really nice designs.
