■What is a Saas-type EC cart system?
The Saas-type EC cart system is a service in which a set of software for EC is installed in the cloud, and which can be used to build an EC site.
Therefore, you can build an EC site without building a server or network. In addition, since the vendor handles legal revisions and basic updates, development costs can be kept to a minimum.
However, since it is necessary to build an EC site within the framework provided by the vendor, there are some limitations compared to EC packages and full-scratch production, such as restrictions on the services that can be linked.

This time, we compared the domestic cart makeshop and the overseas cart Shopify.
Makeshop comes standard with the functions necessary for shop management in Japan, so it is recommended if you want to simplify code editing in-house as much as possible because makeshop has all the necessary functions for the shop you are planning to build.
On the other hand, Shopify is recommended when you want to build a site that matches the trend by utilizing a wide variety of apps and design themes, or when you want to customize functions that are not available in a general Saas-type EC cart system.
