Welcome

What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first

2.0

GPA, above 29 of the 80 other online store builders we grade

EverShop is an open-source ecommerce platform written in TypeScript with React and GraphQL. You install it on your own server, manage the catalog, collections, orders and checkout from an admin panel, and extend it with modules, extensions and themes from a marketplace. A hosted EverShop Cloud plan is announced but not yet on sale.

To get you started, here are 8 things to know about EverShop, taken from its own pages and our grades.

You manage deployment, email and updates yourself.

Who EverShop is for

  • Fits if you write TypeScript and want to own your store
  • Makes sense if you want a free start and can run a server

Who it is not for

  • Skip it if you don't want to run deployment and updates yourself
  • Tight if you need support: the free edition has community help only
  • Watch out: EverShop Cloud at $19 a month is Coming Soon and can't be bought
  • Watch out: extensions and themes are sold separately in the marketplace

Good to know

Good for

  • Developers comfortable with TypeScript and React
  • Teams that want to own the code and hosting of their store
  • Small shops that want no platform subscription fee

Worth knowing

  • Support for the free edition comes from the community.
  • EverShop Cloud, listed at $19 per month with email support, is marked Coming Soon and cannot be bought yet.
  • Extensions and themes are bought separately from the marketplace.

Keep it, or make your own?

Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.

Keep it

EverShop is free, so making your own would save you nothing.

And it is not the kind of software a weekend replaces.

What you could make

  • Templates: an app builder makes this well.

What you could not

  • Checkout, card payments and sales tax handled for you.
  • It plugs into other products, Stripe, PayPal and Klarna among them, and has an API.
  • Hooks into the device itself: widgets.

What this rests on. EverShop’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
