Shopify vs Shopyy (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 Shopyy if

• Fits if you read Chinese and sell cross-border from a hosted store
• Works for sellers who prefer a yearly fee plus a small commission over per-app charges

Look elsewhere if

• Not for you if you want an English site, as the site and pricing page are in Chinese
• Pricey if your sales grow, because every plan takes a 1.2% to 0.2% commission on top of the yearly fee
• Skip it if you plan several stores, since each extra store needs its own plan
• Watch out: the pricing page still carries a commission-allowance promotion that ended in April 2023

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.

Shopyy

• Every plan charges a platform commission on sales (1.2% down to 0.2%) on top of the yearly fee.
• Each additional store needs its own plan; the FAQ says buying several at once can be discounted.
• The site and pricing page are in Chinese, and the pricing page still carries a commission-allowance promotion that ended in April 2023.
• The comparison table shows which features each plan includes as icons, so feature differences between plans were not confirmed.

Shopify

Store builder and themes

Build the storefront from a theme (Shopify lists more than 200) or from a written prompt, with hosting, SSL and a custom domain on every plan and no cap on products.

Checkout and Shopify Payments

Shopify's own checkout and payment processing are built in, with fraud analysis, local currencies and local payment methods where Shopify Payments is offered.

Inventory, orders and shipping

Track stock across up to 10 locations (200 on Plus), buy and print discounted shipping labels, with live third-party carrier rates included from Advanced up.

Selling in person and on other channels

Sell at pop-ups from the mobile app or a card reader, and sync products to marketplaces and social channels. A separate $0 Agentic plan lists products in AI chats.

Marketing email and automations

Email campaigns, customer segments, abandoned checkout recovery, discount codes and gift cards come with every plan; SMS campaigns are paid per send.

Sidekick AI assistant and apps

Sidekick answers questions and takes actions in the admin, and the Shopify App Store lists more than 13,000 apps for features the core plans lack.

Shopyy

Hosted store, no server needed

The FAQ says Shopyy runs as software as a service, so nothing is installed on your own server, and your own domain can be bound to the store.

Free themes and apps

Official themes and apps carry no separate charge; which ones open up depends on the plan.

Marketing apps

The comparison table lists time-limited promotions, gift offers, bundles, pop-ups, web push notifications and a Facebook ads tool.

Checkout and order tools

Lists a high-conversion checkout, tipping, checkout purchase limits, order export and printing, and 17TRACK parcel tracking.

Digital products and B2B inquiries

The comparison table includes a digital product app and a B2B inquiry feature.

Store types and add-on services

Separate solution pages cover print-on-demand, Amazon marketing sites, small-lot wholesale, B2B company sites, a private-deployment option and translation services.
