> Today literally thousands of options are available to launch an ecommerce store with single click with better quality, speed, flexibility and control than shopify.

I am currently looking for a good solution to do just that, but don't know where to start. Do you mind sharing a few good ones?

That person you are replying to obviously has never worked as a merchant in e-commerce. The only people rolling out their own solutions nowadays are multi-million dollar brands that need custom solution.

If you want to focus on selling and having a good backend platform, don't waste your time building your own stack and maintain it, the most important thing is to start selling and bring traffic to your website.

Just scratching the surface (not including Magento or WooCommerce) take a look at some of open source solution which can be installed on bare-metal, cloud or used as SaaS offered by providers. These all are ready to deploy solution in hours and days (obviously as stated earlier the difficult part is not this but the business itself. ):
