WooCommerce is the WordPress shop plugin that still powers a huge share of independent stores. Humans who already run WordPress stay. REST APIs and hooks let agents manage products and orders, with all the plugin-fragility that implies. Open source is the advantage;.
Shopify

Shopify is the worldwide commerce OS for independents and brands: admin, checkout, POS, and a huge app store. Humans set up a store in a weekend. GraphQL Admin and Storefront APIs, plus webhooks, make it a first-class agent commerce backend. Liquid themes remain a human.
