Shopify: DataDish indicated that nearly all brands it works with are based on Shopify,

the brand is on another platform. Smaller brands tend to migrate from lower-code

website builders such as Wix and Squarespace as they scale, while larger or more

complex brands may come from competitors such as BigCommerce, WooCommerce,

Salesforce Commerce Cloud, Adobe Commerce, as well as custom or headless

including apps, tools, partners, service providers, and talent familiar with the platform.
