Pillar #1

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.

✓ Pure HTML
✓ Any JS framework
✓ Open standard
Shopify — Liquid (Proprietary)
{% if product.available %}
  {% assign image = product.featured_image %}
  <img src="{{ image | img_url: '800x' }}">
{% endif %}

Only on Shopify. No portability.

Shoppi Cloud — Standard HTML
<!--
 $_PLUGINS = "cart,search";
 $_PAGE_TITLE = "My Store";
-->
<img src="%_PRODUCT_IMAGE%">

Web standard. Works everywhere.

Pillar #2

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, every 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
domain1.shoppi.cloud
domain2.shoppi.site
custom-domain.com
+ infinite others...
Pillar #3

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.

# Shoppi Cloud REST API
GET /api/products/list/json

POST /api/orders/create/json

PUT /api/inventory/update/json

GET /api/customers/segment/json

# Included in all plans ✓
Pillar #4

0% fees 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% on sales from your site and your POS, forever. The small commission only applies to extra orders we bring you from the marketplace.

Fees for €100,000 in revenue
Shopify Basic (2%) -€2,000
Shopify Advanced (0.5%) -€500
Shoppi Cloud (0%) €0
Pillar #5

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 with 1M+ buyers, the Shoppi Pay POS with S700 terminal, and native support for kiosks, fairs, and events. One account, six touchpoints.

🌍
Marketplace
1M+ buyers, AI-driven feed, included.
💳
Physical POS
S700 terminal, NFC, QR code, included.
🏪
Kiosk / Fairs
Self-checkout, product display, geo-aware.
📱
Mobile App
Shoppi Android App, included in the plan.
