Shippo
$0 free · or $17/mo Pro
8.2
Overall

Shippo is multi-carrier shipping software for merchants who handle their own fulfillment.

The free Starter plan covers 30 labels per month with access to the same discounted carrier rates as paid plans — no credit card, no trial window, just a permanent free tier that works for low-volume sellers. For merchants shipping 31+ packages monthly, Pro at $17/month adds branded tracking pages, phone support, AI-powered delivery date estimates, and up to 5 user logins.

8.2
Overall

Sellfy is an eCommerce platform purpose-built for creators selling digital products (eBooks, music, videos, templates, software), subscriptions, physical products, and print-on-demand merchandise from a single storefront.

Spocket
$24 / mo · annual Professional
7.5
Overall

Spocket's structural advantage is supplier geography. With 80% of its catalog sourced from US and EU suppliers, delivery times to American and European customers run 2-7 days rather than the 2-4 week timelines from Asian-based alternatives. The curated vetting process means fewer counterfeit or inconsistent products than open marketplace alternatives. Automated order routing, direct supplier chat, branded invoicing, and integrations with Shopify, WooCommerce, Wix, BigCommerce, eBay, and Amazon make it a complete operational layer for a dropshipping store. 500K+ sellers and $2B+ earned by platform entrepreneurs point to genuine business outcomes for active users.

Frequently asked

eCommerce software FAQ

The questions readers email us most often before they pick a tool.

What should I look for in an eCommerce platform?
The most important factors are transaction fees (some platforms charge 0.5–2% per sale on top of payment processor fees), checkout conversion rate (how well the platform's native checkout performs on mobile), and inventory management depth. For early-stage stores, setup speed and template quality matter most. For established stores doing $500K+ in annual revenue, you'll want advanced analytics, multi-channel selling (Amazon, TikTok Shop, Instagram), and headless or custom checkout options.
Is Shopify always the right choice for an online store?
Shopify is the default recommendation for good reason — the ecosystem, app store, and payment infrastructure are unmatched. But it's not always the right fit. Shopify charges an additional transaction fee (0.5–2%) if you don't use Shopify Payments, which penalizes businesses in countries where Shopify Payments isn't available. WooCommerce is a better fit for stores already on WordPress or with complex product configurations. BigCommerce has no transaction fees and better native B2B features. Evaluate based on your country, product type, and volume.
What's the difference between a hosted platform and self-hosted?
Hosted platforms (Shopify, BigCommerce, Squarespace Commerce) handle infrastructure, security, updates, and scaling automatically — you pay a monthly subscription and focus on selling. Self-hosted solutions (WooCommerce, Magento) give you full control over your code, data, and hosting costs, but require developer support to maintain. Most businesses under $5M in revenue get better ROI from a hosted platform — the time saved on infrastructure maintenance is worth the subscription cost.
