It depends on your needs.
If you are making an eCommerce store only and are a bit technical and can read and understand code, then prestashop is very stable and powerful. BigCommerce is also an alternative, requires a bit more technical know how than prestashop.
However, for eCommerce nothing is more powerful than Magento2. But that requires a greater technical understanding and the price for plugins and development quickly enters the thousands of bucks. For a complete custom solution you're looking at 10's of thousands. Of course the more coding and development you can do yourself, the cheaper it becomes.
If you're going to post articles and manage more than just a shop then Wordpress + Woo is a great combo for nearly all your needs while being user friendly and not requiring much technical knowledge. Woo has a massive community with countless cheap and easy to install plugins and is a great way to get started in eCommerce. You can also run WP+Woo without using the WP part and only run the eCommerce section as a pure shop platform.
So for eCommerce only:
#1: Magento2
#2: Prestashop
#3: WooCommerce
#4: BigCommerce
