Q: Magento vs Lightspeed eCom vs Shopify Plus voor de Belgische markt, welke past?

Three different shapes for three different Belgian shops: Shopify Plus , fast to launch, good for DTC fashion / cosmetics under €5M. Bancontact via Mollie / Stripe. Weaknesses : trilingual NL+FR+DE storefronts cost €2k+/mo in third-party apps, Peppol e-invoicing is unsolved out-of-box, B2B (KBC Payment Button, Net-60, BTW intracom) is third-party only. Lightspeed eCom (Belgian-Dutch-origin, HQ Amsterdam + Gent office), well-integrated for Belgian retail POS + e-commerce + Bancontact. Weaknesses : smaller theme + module ecosystem than Magento or Shopify , harder to do custom B2B flows or multi-region BE+NL+FR+DE. Magento 2 / Adobe Commerce , the right answer when you need multi-store (NL + FR + DE views with shared catalogue), real B2B (BTW intracom, KBC Payment Button, Net-30/60, Peppol), or cross-border to NL + FR + DE (80% of BE e-commerce is cross-border). Bancontact + Payconiq are native Magento modules, BTW trilingual templates are achievable, Peppol Access Point integration is straightforward via Hermes / Babelway / Pagero. Most Belgian merchants €1M+ outgrow Shopify within 12-18 months. We migrate Shopify → Magento and Lightspeed → Magento regularly.

Magento 2 / Adobe Commerce, the right answer when you need multi-store (NL + FR + DE views with shared catalogue), real B2B (BTW intracom, KBC Payment Button, Net-30/60, Peppol), or cross-border to NL + FR + DE (80% of BE e-commerce is cross-border).
