FlexiCommerce vs The Rest

Shopify is the world's most popular ecommerce platform, but it is expensive for Philippine businesses. The Basic plan costs $39/month (~₱2,200/month recurring), plus premium themes at ₱10,000+, paid apps at ₱3,000-30,000/month, and a 2% platform transaction fee on top of payment gateway fees. There is no native mobile app — you need third-party solutions. Shopify also lacks deep Philippines payment integration like Xendit, GCash, and Maya. FlexiCommerce platform starts at ₱1,499/mo + hosting from ₱799/mo — 3 mobile apps, 5 themes, 500+ features, Xendit + GCash built-in, and 0% commission.

Packworks is a Philippine-based ecommerce builder that offers basic online store functionality with monthly recurring plans starting at ₱1,499/month. While it is locally focused, it provides limited features compared to a full-featured platform. There are no mobile apps, no gamification features, no loyalty system, and limited customization options. If you want advanced features like video commerce, real-time chat, multi-vendor support, and native mobile apps, Packworks cannot deliver that. FlexiCommerce gives you a full independent ecommerce store with 500+ features, 3 mobile apps, and complete ownership of your customer relationships — platform from ₱1,499/mo + hosting from ₱799/mo, with more features at every tier.

WooCommerce is a free WordPress plugin, but "free" is only the plugin cost. You need hosting at ₱1,000-3,000/month, a premium theme at ₱5,000-15,000, paid plugins at ₱25,000-100,000, and a developer at ₱25,000-80,000/month for maintenance. Mobile app development costs ₱150,000-400,000 separately. Plus you handle all security, updates, and server management yourself. Philippine payment gateways like Xendit and GCash require additional plugin setup. FlexiCommerce is fully managed — we handle everything, and your store is live in 20 minutes.
