Q: Magento vs Shopify vs Magento Open Source vs Gomag, which one for the Romanian market?

Quick decision matrix for a Romanian merchant:Gomag, Romanian-built SaaS, dominant in the RON 500k, 5M segment. Strengths: native eMAG.ro feed, Netopia + EuPlătesc built-in, e-Factura mostly handled, Romanian-language admin. Weaknesses: locked-in templates, hard to customize, no B2B, no headless, monthly fees scale fast above RON 5M GMV.Shopify, great early-stage DTC but weak on Romanian rails. Netopia mobilPay needs a third-party app (Payu Shopify is OK), no native e-Factura ANAF integration, eMAG feed via third-party apps. Best if your traffic is largely outside Romania.Magento Open Source (Adobe Commerce CE), free + open-source, you own the code. Full control for Netopia + EuPlătesc + e-Factura + eMAG. Right call above RON 5M GMV, B2B, multi-store CEE expansion, or eMAG-marketplace-at-scale.Adobe Commerce (paid), only worth it above RON 50M GMV or if you need B2B Companies module, page-builder, or Frankfurt cloud SLAs.We migrate Gomag → Magento Open Source for ~RON 22,800 ($4,999) on the Build tier.

Gomag, Romanian-built SaaS, dominant in the RON 500k, 5M segment. Strengths: native eMAG.ro feed, Netopia + EuPlătesc built-in, e-Factura mostly handled, Romanian-language admin. Weaknesses: locked-in templates, hard to customize, no B2B, no headless, monthly fees scale fast above RON 5M GMV.
Shopify, great early-stage DTC but weak on Romanian rails. Netopia mobilPay needs a third-party app (Payu Shopify is OK), no native e-Factura ANAF integration, eMAG feed via third-party apps. Best if your traffic is largely outside Romania.
Magento Open Source (Adobe Commerce CE), free + open-source, you own the code. Full control for Netopia + EuPlătesc + e-Factura + eMAG. Right call above RON 5M GMV, B2B, multi-store CEE expansion, or eMAG-marketplace-at-scale.
Adobe Commerce (paid), only worth it above RON 50M GMV or if you need B2B Companies module, page-builder, or Frankfurt cloud SLAs.
