A friend of mine has a designer garment & jwellary business and she wants to setup an online store. I think instead of using a custom made or open source option it is better to use a SAAS provider for a couple of years to see how it goes.
So, who are the best SAAS e-commerce providers right now in terms of features & quality of service?

I cannot speak for the backend of setting up but from a consumer and checkout process perspective I like Shopify. They have really simple streamlined checkout process that will remember your details if you have previously checked out on another shopify store. I would think this would help with conversion rates.

Shopify is totally worth it. However i sometimes opt for woocommerce when I see it as long term project without direct profits. However nothing beats shopify especially when you are willing to pay for extras.

If your target audience is in Europe and you care about multi-language support then Shoperb might be an option (I'm the founder). While it is a SaaS, we work rather closely with our merchants and help them often to get their store going, do custom integrations etc.

Since nobody has mentioned BigCommerce, I wanted to throw it out there. I'm not sure what your specific needs are, but you could use the free template or one of the paid templates.

A related question:
How does one handle International Shipping, Import restriction, custom packacing etc?
To me setting up a shop online is the easy part. Getting the rest running is the most difficult bit.
