| Best for | Brand- and marketing-led businesses selling a curated catalogue of under about 5,000 SKUs where storefront design and content are the competitive edge, with an in-house designer or Webflow-fluent agency owning the build — best value at the $74/mo Plus tier. | Design-conscious brands and creators with shallow catalogues doing modest-to-mid volume — fashion, lifestyle, food, studios, coaches — and especially sellers of courses, memberships or video who can reach Plus (1%) or Advanced (0%) digital fees, plus service businesses blending invoices, proposals and Acuity bookings. |
| Avoid if | You run a high-SKU catalogue, need advanced fulfilment/inventory operations, want responsive human support and flexible refunds, cannot commit to annual auto-renewing billing, or need governance and localisation without the $2,500/mo Team leap. | You plan to stay on Basic while selling meaningfully, run a large catalogue with deep variants, multi-location inventory or B2B pricing tiers, need gateways beyond Stripe/PayPal/Square, need more than two contributors on the entry plan, or want code ownership, self-hosting and clean data portability. |

A higher TOP SCORE means more of the evidence favours that platform on this methodology — it is not a recommendation, and it does not account for your specific requirements. Advertisers are never declared the winner of a comparison.
