I've built multiple dropshipping stores with both Shopify and WP/Woocommerce in 2018.
There are pros on cons for each platform. So how exactly do you decide which is the best option for you?
Easy.
You simply have to ask yourself 2 questions .........

Easy.
You simply have to ask yourself 2 questions .........
First question to ask yourself is:
"What is my budget?"
Everyone loves "free". WP is free. The woocommerce plug in is free.
Payment for this combo is only your domain and monthly web hosting, which could be had for >$15 a month.
If you're hurting finacially, go with WP.

BUT if you dont have start up money ($500-$1000), you probably shouldnt be dropshipping, but I digress ...
But saving money long term is the draw here.
Unlimited WP/Woo sites for a year will run you about $180 bucks.
Shopify will run you $360 for the basic plan.

What if you want to run multiple niche sites and dropshipping stores? With WP your at a fixed $180/year.
10 shopify stores? About $3500/year.
So clearly if you are going to have multiple stores OR your budget is tight, "Woo if for you". (Lame, haha)

Second question to ask:
"What is the value of my time?"
Shopify wins because with its great interface and navigation, you can get your store up running quickly.
Faster its live > Faster you make sales > Faster you make money.
Time = money. And time is more scarce than $.

Additionally, you might get stuck or encounter problems designing in WP/Woo - I still do at times - and you just have to "figure it out" whereas, Shopify has 24/7 support to help you.
Paying $30 bucks a month to avoid problems like this is light work.

This is why Shopify is a better option for beginners. You can get your store up in a day relatively easy and start running ads SUPER quick.
Especially if you have a lot of disposable income. Save your time and spend the $.
Limited $ or want 5-6 stores long term? Use WP/WOO.
