All-in-one commerce platform for online stores and retail
Updated
Shopify is an all-in-one commerce platform for merchants who want to build an online store and sell across web, social media, marketplaces, and in person. It handles products, checkout, payments, shipping, and customer data in one dashboard, and scales from solo entrepreneurs to large brands on the Plus plan. Its App Store lists over 16,000 apps.
A merchant picks a plan, designs the store, adds products, and sets up payments and shipping. Orders from all channels flow into one dashboard where inventory, fulfillment, and customer records are managed. Apps from the App Store add features such as reviews, subscriptions, and email marketing.
Shopify serves solo entrepreneurs on Basic, small teams on Grow, merchants wanting global reach on Advanced, and complex businesses on Plus. It suits direct-to-consumer brands and retailers that want a hosted platform rather than self-managed software. Merchants with highly custom needs may consider open-source or headless options.
Shopify's pricing page, viewed in India, lists Basic at 1,994 rupees per month (1,499 per month billed yearly), Grow at 7,447 (5,599 yearly), and Advanced at 30,164 (22,680 yearly). Plus starts at 175,000 rupees per month. The vendor shows a 3-day free trial followed by a 20 rupee per month introductory rate for 3 months. Prices vary by country.
Shopify's App Store includes Klaviyo for email and SMS, TikTok for ads and selling, Loox for reviews, and Shipway for shipping. Shopify Marketplace Connect links stores to Amazon, Walmart, eBay, and Target Plus.
Bagisto is an open-source, Laravel-based commerce platform you host yourself. Swell is a headless, API-first platform for custom storefronts. Shopware is a German open-source commerce platform popular in Europe. Medusa is an open-source headless commerce engine, and Ecwid and Lightspeed offer lighter and retail-focused options.
