Which one is for you
Pick SHOPLINE if
- Fits if you sell online, on social and in your own shops and want one stock count
- Works for a small team that needs separate logins, as Starter allows 5 staff accounts
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you want your own payment provider, as Starter adds 2% to those sales
- Tight if you need apps or an API early: the app marketplace starts on Essential at A$108 and APIs on Premium at A$341
- Watch out: prices come from the Australian site in Australian dollars, as the US site answered with a bot check
- Watch out: POS selling is listed under Premium, at A$341 a month on yearly billing
- Skip it if you want a phone or desktop app, as only the web admin is on record
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

|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CStarter is A$41 a month on yearly billing (A$49 monthly), in Australian dollars, as the listing comes from SHOPLINE's Australian site. That's the ordinary middle here. SHOPLINE adds 2% to sales taken through a third-party payment provider on Starter. | C$499 a year is about $41.60 a month, inside the middle of the category's $20 to $89 range, and a 1.2% commission is charged on top. The page still shows a commission promotion that ended in April 2023. |
| Free plan and trial | CNo free plan, but a 14-day trial with no card needed, which is enough to set a store up and see how it feels. | D15-day free trial, but whether a card is needed is not stated. No free plan. |
| Features | BIt covers the whole job: themes, one-page checkout, 10 kinds of discount, stock across 15 locations on Starter, online, social and in-store selling, 1,000 SmartPush emails and 100+ reports. The app marketplace and marketing automation wait for Essential. | CHosted store, themes, marketing apps, checkout tools, digital products and B2B inquiries. The comparison table uses icons, so plan differences were not confirmed. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record. It's a web admin where you build the store from themes and components, and with this many staff, location and channel settings there's a fair bit to set up. | CYou build the store, and the site and pricing page are in Chinese. No store rating is on record. |
| Platforms and integrations | CWeb only on record, and the named connections are PayPal, Stripe, Atome and Facebook. The app marketplace needs Essential and the developer APIs need Premium at A$341 a month, so the entry plan is fairly closed. | CWeb only, with Facebook and 17TRACK as the only listed connections. |
| Best for | retailers selling online, on social and in shops | a hosted store for Chinese-reading cross-border sellers |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
