## Why it matters

The e-commerce platform directly affects conversion rate, product page loading speed, product SEO, and marketplace integrations. Each platform has specific limitations and optimization options.

## In practice

Shoptet has native integration with Heureka.sk and Zbozi.cz, while WooCommerce requires plugins. Magento can handle millions of products but is more demanding on hosting. Fingerprint identifies both the platform and its version.
