There are some gaps in terms of plugins for both Shopify and Wordpress.
There's also some plugins currently on the market which fulfils these gaps but they don't do the job well enough.
Shopify:
1) I don't know if there's a cache plugin as good as WP Rocket or W3 Total Cache for Shopify, but the last I checked some years back, there doesn't seem to be any. Maybe it's due to Shopify's proprietory platform which limits things. This is why if you use GTMetrix and test various Shopify stores on it, their page speed/Yslow and other variables are anywhere from D to F grades.
Maybe this is not an issue for Shopify owners because I notice Shopify shops load really fast.
2) A plugin equivalent to Elementor, but for Shopify. The best one I've tried so far is Shogun, but even it doesn't come anywhere close to Elementor.
Wordpress:
1) A really strong and comprehensive plugin that can customize the F*ck out of WooCommerce's appearance.
In order to customize the look and feel of Woocommerce, I've installed 8 - 9 different plugins just to achieve what I want. E.g: change the "In Stock" text
WooCommerce's default layout is ugly and looks early 2000s as hell, it's a wonder why there isn't more plugins to change that. Plus, the Cart and Checkout page are hard to customize unless you engage a developer to go deep in.
2) Speaking of WooCommerce, it's amazing there isn't an equally good alternative (the "alternatives" out there are not as good as it, despite WooCommerce having serious drawbacks like being notoriously slow and laggy)
