Why is ThirtyBees Better than Shopify?
Own Your Platform Completely:
With Shopify, you’re “renting” your eCommerce platform, and any customizations are limited to what Shopify allows. ThirtyBees is open-source, which means you own your platform and have complete control over your store’s customization and functionality.
Say Goodbye to High Monthly Fees!
Shopify’s pricing can quickly add up, especially when you start adding necessary apps. ThirtyBees is free to use, eliminating monthly subscription fees and allowing you to invest in growth rather than platform costs.
No Transaction Fees:
Shopify takes a cut of each sale unless you use Shopify Payments. ThirtyBees never charges transaction fees, meaning you keep more of your hard-earned revenue—no strings attached.
Flexibility and Customization:
Shopify’s closed system limits what you can customize, which can restrict your business. With ThirtyBees, you have full access to the code, enabling you to create a truly unique and customized experience for your customers.
Feature-Rich Without Extra Costs:
Many essential features on Shopify require additional paid apps. ThirtyBees, however, comes packed with powerful built-in features that save you money and minimize the need for third-party add-ons.
Performance Optimized for Growing Businesses:
Large catalogs and high traffic can slow down Shopify stores. ThirtyBees is optimized for speed, stability, and performance, making it a perfect choice for businesses looking to scale smoothly.
Data Privacy and Ownership:
Shopify controls your store data on their servers, and you have limited control over how it’s used. ThirtyBees, being self-hosted, gives you full ownership of your data, keeping it private and secure.
Active Community and Support:
Shopify’s support often funnels through pre-determined channels, whereas ThirtyBees has a dedicated, merchant-focused community. The ThirtyBees community offers real-time support and valuable resources whenever you need help.
Built for Merchants, Not Investors:
ThirtyBees prioritizes merchant success over profits. Unlike Shopify, which is driven by shareholder interests, ThirtyBees is maintained by a team of merchants who understand and actively address the real-world challenges of running an online store.
