react-md vs Shopify

react-md is a free React component library for web interfaces, styled with Sass and SCSS. It provides more than 100 components, over 60 hooks, and 40 utilities, including building blocks for fixed headers, navigation panels, and main content areas. Styles follow Material Design and can be configured during compilation with Sass variables or at runtime with Sass functions and mixins. Customized colors are automatically updated to meet a minimum contrast ratio. More complex widgets follow W3C ARIA authoring practices for screen-reader access and keyboard movement. The default theme uses #2196f3 and #ff9100 as primary and secondary colors, with Roboto as the default font. Icons can come from custom icons, SVG components in @react-md/material-icons, or Material Symbols. Installation requires React and ReactDOM v19 or above, plus @react-md/core and sass. Documentation covers npm, pnpm, yarn, and font setup through Fontsource, Google Fonts CDN, or Next.js.

Shopify is a hosted commerce platform for businesses selling across online and other sales channels. Businesses can run it from the web or mobile without coding, manage inventory across 10 locations, and use tools for order synchronization, sales reporting, automation, and employee permissions. It supports digital products and abandoned-cart recovery. The Shopify App Store lists more than 21,000 commerce apps.

Plans include secure commerce hosting and unlimited bandwidth, plus a free TLS/SSL certificate for domains added to Shopify. Shopify is certified Level 1 PCI DSS compliant. Support varies by plan and includes 24/7 live chat, enhanced live chat, or priority support. There is no free plan, but the free trial lasts three days and requires no credit card. Paid plans start at ₹1,499 per month when paid yearly; after the trial, most plans start at ₹20 per month for the first three months. Third-party transaction fees may apply, with rates depending on the plan.
