Vitrula vs WooCommerce
Short answer
WooCommerce is free open-source software that you host and maintain yourself, which gives full control but adds hosting, plugin and upkeep costs; Vitrula is a hosted platform with a free plan where payments, shipping, promotions and security updates are built in. Managed WooCommerce hosting typically costs about 25 to 250 USD per month.

| Several stores in one account | Yes: Pro 3 stores, Business 10, one dashboard | Possible with WordPress multisite, but you build and maintain it (our inference) |
| Several domains | Yes: a domain per store with a DNS wizard and automatic SSL (Pro 5, Business 20) | Possible with your own hosting and DNS setup, maintained by you (our inference) |
| Languages | 7 storefront and dashboard languages, several currencies | Through translation plugins you install and maintain (our inference) |
| Turkish payment methods | PayTR, iyzico, bank transfer and cash on delivery are ready | Through plugins for local gateways (our inference) |
| API and webhooks | REST API, scoped keys and signed webhooks on every plan | REST API comes with the software |
