Best for German-market hosted shops

Who Gambio is not for

- Watch out: prices are in euros and the page does not say if they include VAT
- Skip it if you sell outside Germany, as its main selling point is German legal cover

Keep Gambio, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Gambio you would be making checkout, card payments and sales tax handled for you. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.4 is higher than 60 of the 80 other online store builders we grade. It costs $388.79 a year.
What you could make
- Templates and inventory: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Checkout, card payments and sales tax handled for you.
- It plugs into other products, PayPal, Afterbuy and Google Shopping among them, and has an API.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Gambio’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.
