Paid links. We earn a commission if you buy through links on this page. It never changes our ranking — see how we rank.
Pricing
We do not reprint prices. They change too often for that to be honest, and a number on our page with no date is worse than sending you to the source.
How we rated it
What it is
A hosted e-commerce platform aimed at larger and more complex shops: multi-channel selling, B2B features and no transaction fees on its own payments.
Who it is for
Growing retailers who have hit Shopify's limits or need B2B functionality.
Where it is strongest
Complex catalogues and B2B selling — customer-specific pricing, quotes, large product counts — where the simpler platforms struggle.
Where it falls short
A smaller app ecosystem than Shopify, which you feel when you need something specific. Plans are capped on annual sales, which forces upgrades on success. And the admin is less pleasant day to day.
Our verdict
Recommended for complex or B2B commerce. For a straightforward shop, Shopify is easier and better supported.
Editorial assessment. We earn a commission on some links; it does not change the ranking.
