The short answer: Pick Shopify when the store itself is the center of operations; pick Umbraco when a .NET CMS with flexible content architecture must come first and commerce is shaped around it.

If you are comparing Shopify vs Umbraco, the real decision is not just ecommerce features. It is whether the store should run on a hosted commerce platform first, or on a developer-owned .NET CMS with commerce added around the content model.
