Selzix vs Shopify

Keep your own gateway. Skip the platform fee.

Start with 14 days free, then US$50/month or US$500/year. No automatic renewal or Selzix transaction fee. External services and taxes are separate. Your billing country determines your final plan price.

Why sellers choose Selzix over Shopify.

No fee for using your own gateway.

On Shopify, choosing a third-party payment provider adds a Shopify transaction fee on top of your processing fee, and Shopify Payments isn't available in every country. On Selzix, buyers pay through your own Stripe account, or Razorpay in India, and Selzix takes 0% of every sale.

One plan instead of tiers.

Shopify splits features and fee rates across several plans. Selzix has one plan at a flat regional price, with the storefront, catalogue, orders, customers, analytics and blog included.

The everyday tools are built in.

Invoices with your VAT, GST or sales tax, product reviews, abandoned-cart reminders, coupons and automatic offers, domestic and international shipping rates, and a buyer tracking page come with every Selzix store. On Shopify, some of these rely on apps with their own pricing.

Your customers are your customers.

Buyers see your domain and pay into your own gateway account, which settles to you. Export your customer list as CSV whenever you need it.

What will my Selzix plan cost?

Start with 14 days free, then US$50/month or US$500/year. No automatic renewal or Selzix transaction fee. External services and taxes are separate. Your billing country determines your final plan price.

I use Shopify Payments. Do I still pay a transaction fee?

Not Shopify's third-party gateway fee — that applies when you use another provider. Compare the subscription, the apps you pay for and your card processing rates instead. If Shopify Payments and its app marketplace suit you, Shopify may be the better fit.

What about Shopify's app marketplace?

Honest answer: Shopify's app ecosystem is mature and Selzix doesn't match it. Selzix builds in the tools most small stores add first — invoices, reviews, abandoned-cart reminders, discounts, international shipping rates and a blog. If an app is essential to your business, talk to us before switching.

Will my Shopify themes work on Selzix?

No — Shopify themes are built for a different system than Selzix. But our eight designed brand kits give you a starting point that matches the polish of most Shopify themes, and the visual editor lets you rebuild your existing look in a few hours, without writing any code.

Can I keep my domain, email setup, and SEO?

Yes to all three. Point your domain at Selzix (DNS instructions provided), SSL auto-issues. Keep your email DNS records intact when changing your website records. Product import does not guarantee URL preservation; review redirects and search metadata before migration.

Can I migrate my products and customers?

Selzix can import a public Shopify product catalogue with images and variants, or selected Instagram posts as draft products. These importers do not transfer customer accounts, historical orders or themes. For another platform, share a sample of your catalogue so we can assess the setup work before you switch.

What about my custom domain?

You can connect a domain you own using the DNS instructions in Selzix. Plan the change after reviewing your new storefront; DNS propagation and certificate provisioning take time. Domain registration and email hosting remain separate.

Will I lose my brand?

No. Selzix has eight designed brand kits and a visual editor for colors, fonts, sections, and layout. Every element is editable without writing a line of code. Your design is yours to push as far as you want.

Your gateway. Your customers. No fee on every sale.

Start with 14 days free, then US$50/month or US$500/year. No automatic renewal or Selzix transaction fee. External services and taxes are separate. Your billing country determines your final plan price.
