When it comes to choosing an ecommerce platform, you’re deciding the fate of your business, the future, and apparently the potential success. In this scenario, you can’t make a “leap of faith.” You have to be more opinionated and informed, without falling into the traps spread out by marketers.

As for me, I prefer Magento CMS. It's written in PHP, so you can easily add new features. Also it has many advantages as different magento plugins and extensions: custom product designer, product review, magento 2 product feed extension etc. Very convenient.

I've use both Magento and Shopify as part of my job implementing it, here's my summary.

Go for Magento if:
+ You're a developer, wants flexible and advance shopping features
+ Have lots of money/budget for high performance web hosting services/server side that have bigger memory and processor especially handling query.
+ Putting lots of products inventory.
+ Advance and full control of the platform eg: backup/migration.



Go for Shopify if:
+ If you're want fast setup an online store
+ Less codings work.
+ Cheap and less demanding on resources on bandwidth and processing on server side.
+ Easy access to install plugin/add and easy customization on store front appearance.
+ Easy support if have problem.
+ Have simple product inventory/presentation.


Summary
*If you have skills to maintain, huge money for high performance web hosting and total control of CMS platform = Magento

*Else if you're just end user, have money for plugin add-on (can't code), easy simple administration and short term solution = Shopify
