Wix! Aaaaaaaarrrrrrggggghhhhh!

Shopify is less naff but can be very expensive.

If you own the domain you can get up a standalone site for very little.

Personally, my answer would be to use neither of these.

But a more constructive response would be to assess what you want, not just in front end terms, but in terms of stock management, product display, sales and VAT reporting and so on.

Of course, Shopify can achieve these things, but the last indication of price I had on Shopify was about twice what I am currently paying.

As with all these things, it is about how much you want/need to invest in this aspect of your business - which in part will be informed by the potential scale of your ecommerce operation.

Wix and the like tend to be quite restrictive when it comes to adding plugins (including Payment Gateway options - which are very limited at the moment).

As above, if you own the domain you could try open source ecommerce such as WooCommerce or OpenCart, or for hosted something like FreeWebstore or ECWID. Also, Shop Integrator which you can drop in to virtually any website.
