What's best for a Philippine small business?

WordPress for most cases — best PH payment integration, lowest long-term cost, full customization. Wix for very small operations wanting fast launch with minimal technical involvement. Squarespace for design-focused single-purpose sites.

Which has the best PH payment support?

WordPress with WooCommerce + PayMongo/HitPay — full GCash, Maya, card support. Wix and Squarespace have limited PH payment integration; mostly card-only via Stripe (limited in PH) or PayPal.

Cost over 3 years

WordPress: ₱50K–₱200K build + hosting ₱500–₱3,000/month = ₱70K–₱310K total
Wix: $14–$49/month USD = ₱30K–₱100K total over 3 years
Squarespace: $16–$49/month USD = ₱32K–₱100K total over 3 years

Wix/Squarespace look cheaper short-term but WordPress is more cost-effective once you scale or need PH-specific features.
