Open HTML vs Proprietary Liquid
Shopify uses Liquid, a templating language they invented. It is not a web standard. If you want to switch platforms, you have to start from scratch. You are trapped by their limitations: no direct DOM access, limited conditional logic, no native integration with modern frameworks.
With Shoppi Cloud, your sites are pure HTML: the standard that every developer in the world knows. You can take your code anywhere, integrate any JS library, and use any editor.
{% if product.available %}
{% assign image = product.featured_image %}
<img src="{{ image | img_url: '800x' }}">
{% endif %}
Only on Shopify. No portability.
<!--
$_PLUGINS = "cart,search";
$_PAGE_TITLE = "My Store";
-->
<img src="%_PRODUCT_IMAGE%">
Web standard. Works everywhere.
One account, unlimited domains
Shopify ties every store to a single domain. Want to manage a brand for trade fairs, one for e-commerce, and one for B2B? Three separate subscriptions. Three times the cost.
With Shoppi Cloud, the Business plan includes the management of unlimited subdomains and domains from the same panel. Same inventory, same Stripe account — as many storefronts as you need.
mybrand.shoppi.site → B2C Fairs
mybrand.shoppi.cloud → Global E-commerce
b2b.mybrand.com → Wholesale customers
Complete REST APIs, zero walls
Shopify's APIs are powerful but expensive to unlock, with aggressive rate limits and many core features accessible only with enterprise plans. Want to sync your management software? You need $50/month apps.
Shoppi Cloud exposes complete REST APIs for products, orders, customers, and inventory — included in all plans. Connect your ERP, CRM, or build custom integrations without additional costs.
0.4% + 1¢ vs the hidden cost of Shopify
Shopify Basic applies a 2% extra commission on every sale if you don't use Shopify Payments. On $100,000 in revenue, that's $2,000 given away to Shopify every year.
With Shoppi Cloud: 0.4% + 1¢ per payment on top of the Stripe fee, on every card payment through your own channels. On orders the Shoppi marketplace brings you there is a 10% revenue share, all included (the 0.4% + 1¢ is not added), only on the sales we bring you.
Marketplace + POS + Kiosk. Shopify can't handle it.
Shopify is a tool for building stores. You have to bring the traffic. The marketplace doesn't exist. The POS is a separate addon. The kiosk is not planned.
Shoppi Cloud includes the native Shoppi Marketplace, the Shoppi Pay POS app with Tap to Pay (Stripe terminals sold separately), and native support for kiosks, fairs, and events. One account, six touchpoints.
Bring your catalog with you.
A basic catalog import is included in every plan: from WooCommerce, a product feed or a CSV file, with products, categories, images and prices.
Want the import fully automated, with continuous sync? That is a small paid add-on you can switch on when you need it.
