Foxy.io vs Shopify (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Foxy.io if

• Fits if your site is on Webflow, Wix or WordPress and needs a cart
• Works for sellers of subscriptions, donations or digital products

Look elsewhere if

• Not for you if you want a ready-made store, since it is a cart and checkout only
• Pricey if orders grow: past the allowance each order is 5 to 35 cents, plus per-user fees
• Watch out: multi-currency, multilingual checkout and a custom tax endpoint start at Growth
• Tight if you sell more than 100 orders a month on Starter, as each extra one costs 35 cents

Pick Shopify if

• Fits if you sell online and at markets or pop-ups and want one stock count for both
• Works for sellers who'll use Shopify Payments and its discounted shipping labels

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you want your own payment provider, as Basic adds 2% to each of those sales
• Not for you if you want a few weeks to try it, since the free trial is 3 days
• Tight if you run a shop counter, as POS Pro is $89 a month per location
• Watch out: syncing more than 50 marketplace orders a month costs 1%, up to $99 a month
• Watch out: the next steps up are Grow at $79 and Advanced at $299, and Plus needs a 1- or 3-year term

Foxy.io

• Pricing follows transactions: past the monthly allowance each extra order costs 5 to 35 cents, plus 5 to 10 cents per extra user.
• The pricing page shows annual-billing prices; the monthly-billing prices could not be read.
• Multi-currency, multilingual checkout and a custom tax endpoint start at the Growth plan.
• Foxy provides the cart and checkout, not a storefront; you need a site to put it on.

Shopify

• Using a payment provider other than Shopify Payments adds a fee of 2% per sale on Basic, 1% on Grow, 0.6% on Advanced and 0.2% on Plus.
• The free trial lasts 3 days; Basic, Grow and Advanced then cost $1 a month for 3 months before the regular price.
• POS Pro for physical shops costs $89 a month per location, and syncing more than 50 marketplace orders a month costs 1%, up to $99 a month.
• Plus is sold only on a 1- or 3-year term, starting at $2,300 a month on the 3-year term.
