OSS e-commerce trades license freedom for operational ownership

Open-source e-commerce is not simply a cheaper Shopify.

It gives more control over data, workflows, integrations, and customization, but the operator inherits uptime, security, updates, backups, payments, and performance. The trade is freedom for operational responsibility.

That trade only works when the business actually needs the control.
