Both good for ecommerce, My opinion Magento is best for ecommerce..

I have tried using Magento and got stuck when I had to edit the theme. It's VERY powerful, but it does have a pretty steep learning curve. If you do need a full fledged shopping site, I'd go with it. I am currently using WooCommerce on my portfolio site to sell some templates. It wasn't as difficult to set up, though I do have to make some efforts to style it properly. It doesn't support as many features as Magento does, but it's OK for a small shop with not too many products/options as mine.

Woo Commerce is a free, open source e Commerce plug-in for the Word Press Content Management System (CMS). It is a popular choice among professional designers and developers because of Word Press scalability and ease of customization. Woo Commerce uses Word Press as a framework and adds a full suite of e Commerce functionality to a Word Press website.This not only has its own SEO functionalities, but it integrates with Word Press, which is wonderful for SEO.

Magneto is open-source, with an extensive community, complete with its support system and tons of other resources available for free or next-to-nothing prices. The presence of a vibrant community also means easy availability of custom extensions. The CMS integrates easily with Pay Pal, Google, and e Bay as well. The CMS also ranks very high in scalability.It provides independent image alt tags to social sharing buttons, your e-commerce site is in good hands if you go with Magneto.

The core difference between them lies in the nature of these two solutions. WooCommerce is a WordPress plugin, a very comprehensive and well-developed one, but still a plugin. Magento, on the other hand, is a full-bodied open-source ecommerce platform with a number of plugins and extensions to it https://store.belvg.com/. What concerns a more detailed review, of course, WooCommerce and Magento have their functional distinctions, and to determine what suits a business the best, one must first have a very clear understanding of the business's goals and possibilities.

Both have its own pros and cons and but slightly Magento has an edge

If you have too many products then going with magento makes sense. I won't be using the woocommerce for 500 products on site. Instead I'd limit any wordpress based cart to 50 catalog items.

The biggest difference between Magento and Woocommerce is that Magento provides many e-commerce features that Woocommerce lacks

• Enterprise-focused with incredible scalability
• Multiple versions with Enterprise, Open Source, Cloud, and other products
• Multistore option
• MVC framework for more scalability
• Advance shipping and payment system
• bulk order management
• Strong product data capabilities for large and complex catalogs

I have not used Magento, therefore, I cannot say anything about this program. However, I have used Woocommerce multiple times for multiple kinds of websites (inventory-based, print-on-demand, dropshipping, etc.) and I can highly recommend woocommerce. By using woocommerce, you will keep your costs low and you can focus on marketing.
