(01) Strategic decision
VTEX for enterprise. WooCommerce to grow with controlled costs.
VTEX is one of the most robust platforms, but with growing license and implementation costs. For SMBs and midmarket, WooCommerce delivers equivalent capability with fixed, predictable cost, no GMV fees and total control over operations.
(02) Why migrate
Limitations that grow with your volume.
VTEX license with GMV (Gross Merchandise Value) fee.
WooCommerce: no GMV fee, only fixed hosting cost.
Implementation and customization require specialized VTEX team.
WooCommerce: more accessible developers, lower specialization required.
Infrastructure and integration costs grow with scale.
WooCommerce: predictable cost, linear scaling with volume.
Strong vendor lock-in, leaving is expensive and complex.
WordPress: your data, total control, open portability.
Reports and BI require additional paid tools.
WooCommerce: native analytics, free Google Analytics integration.
