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.

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.
