There is no one eCommerce platform that is right for every business, but open-source is here to be flexible and adaptable exactly when you need it. Here are just a few advantages you should think of:
- Complete control over the source code to make major changes and meet niche needs limited only by the abilities of your development team
- Active community to contribute to the development of a platform and help you with difficult tasks on the way
- No vendor lock-in (limited customization and service providers, transaction fees, subscriptions, etc.) that allows you to scale your online business how you want.
