Shopify vs Shoplo (2026): which should you pick?

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

Pick Shoplo if

• Fits if you sell in Poland and read Polish
• Makes sense if you want a hosted store with a first-year promotion

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you read English only, since the pricing pages are in Polish
• Pricey if you stay beyond year one, when Standard goes to 249 PLN a month
• Watch out: the pricing pages conflict, with an Enterprise figure that differs from the Pro card
• Watch out: packages are branded Shoper, so plan names and limits may differ from Shoplo's older plans

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.

Shoplo

• Prices are in Polish zloty excluding VAT; the first-year Standard price of 419 PLN is a promotion shown as 2,988 PLN crossed out.
• The pages do not display each package price directly; renewal prices come from the FAQ, and its Enterprise figure conflicts with the Pro card.
• Packages on the site are branded Shoper, so the plan names and limits may follow that brand rather than Shoplo's older plans.
• Multi-warehouse, 24/7 support and speed optimization need Premium or above.
