Which should you choose?

Amazon Seller (Amazon.in): Sell on Amazon.in with options for self-ship, Easy Ship and Fulfilment by Amazon.

Shopify: Leading hosted e-commerce platform with themes, apps and payments.

The best way to decide is to run the same week of real work through both — most offer a free plan or trial — and compare how long tasks take, what your team prefers, and the total cost for your number of users including renewal pricing.
