Worked example
What it makes
The starting criteria for a ecommerce platform comparison, with example scores for three unnamed options to show how the weighting works. Your Room uses your own options and scores.
| Criterion (weight) | Option A | Option B | Option C |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total cost at our sales volume (5) | 5/5 | 3/5 | 4/5 |
| Ease of running the store (4) | 3/5 | 5/5 | 4/5 |
| Payment options for our market (4) | 4/5 | 3/5 | 4/5 |
| Apps and integrations (3) | 3/5 | 4/5 | 2/5 |
| Design flexibility (3) | 4/5 | 3/5 | 4/5 |
| Scaling and performance (3) | 3/5 | 4/5 | 2/5 |
| Weighted score | 75.5/100 | 72.7/100 | 69.1/100 |
Weighted score = sum of (weight × score) ÷ sum of (weight × 5), out of 100.

Questions
About the Ecommerce Platform Comparison
Does WZRD rate these products?
No. You score each option on your own criteria; WZRD only does the weighted maths and lays out the result. Check prices and features on each vendor's own site, because they change often.
Does it compare Shopify and WooCommerce?
They're in the starting list with BigCommerce, Wix and Squarespace. You score them on your criteria.
