Choosing well
Check Android access
If you manage orders or products from a phone, confirm that the service has an Android app or a mobile-friendly web option. Check the other listed platforms too, including iOS, Linux, API access, and self-hosting.
Compare free and paid options
A no-cost tier lets you begin without taking on a subscription. Check what the free tier includes, the paid-from price, and whether a free trial is available before moving store data.
Review store limits
Compare product limits and staff accounts with your catalog and team needs. A plan that fits your current store may need a change as your catalog or staff grows.
Check selling features
Built-in POS can connect in-person sales with your online store. Abandoned-cart recovery may help bring shoppers back, while marketplace selling can extend where products appear.
Choose hosting and code control
Open-source software can suit teams that need access to code. Check whether self-hosting and Linux fit your setup, and review the licence before changing or redistributing code.
