Shopify can be “safer by default” because Shopify manages the infrastructure and states it’s Level 1 PCI DSS compliant across Shopify stores. WooCommerce can be very secure too, but security depends more on your hosting, setup, and how well you maintain WordPress, WooCommerce, themes, and plugins. In practice, Shopify reduces your security workload; WooCommerce gives control but requires ongoing maintenance.
