No percentage on your growth
The more you sell, the more Shopify earns if you don't pay through Shopify Payments. With us, the monthly amount stays the same, whether you have 10 or 10,000 orders.
Shopify alternative
Your own webshop.
No percentage per sale.
Shopify costs € 21 to € 2,100 per month, plus apps, and if you use Mollie or another payment provider, also a percentage of every sale. We build your shop to your needs, host it and maintain it. A fixed amount per month, nothing else.
Webshop Maatwerk: € 50.00 per month excl. VAT, hosting, security and maintenance included.
Side by side
Shopify, or a shop by Netslim?
Shopify is software that you rent and set up yourself. Webshop by Netslim is a shop that we build, host and maintain for you. This is the difference in practice.

Why it makes a difference
What you pay for at Shopify, and not with us
No pile of apps
Reviews, filters, bundles, translations: at Shopify that is often one app per feature, each with its own subscription. We only build what your shop needs, in the shop itself.
No agency on the side
You customise a Shopify shop yourself, or you hire an agency that charges by the hour. With us, building, hosting, security, updates and backups are in one plan.
From Shopify to Netslim
Move without losing your place in Google
- Export. In Shopify, you export your products and customers as CSV. It takes a few clicks. If it doesn't work, we will help you.
- Hand over. You upload the files in your account, together with your logo. We transfer everything, including photos, variants and prices.
- Redirect old addresses. We send every old link (/products/…, /collections/…) to the new page with a permanent redirect. Google and your customers end up in the right place.
- Go live. You first see your new shop on a test address. If you are happy with it, we switch your domain and you cancel Shopify.
Big shop?
Many products, many visitors, millions in revenue: then we put your shop on its own server, with Netslim Edge in front of it to handle busy periods and attacks. That costs a fraction of Shopify Plus, and we calculate it for you in advance.
Example: reslim.nl, refurbished computers, over 9,000 devices, built and hosted by Netslim.

Can I move my Shopify shop to Netslim?
Yes. You export your products and customers from Shopify as CSV and upload them to your account. We transfer everything and redirect your old addresses to the new ones, so people can still find you. You first see your new shop on a test address.
Do you build on WooCommerce?
No. We build your shop on WordPress with our own shop software, without WooCommerce and without a stack of plugins. Only what your shop needs. That keeps it fast and leaves little that can break.
Can your own shop handle as much traffic as Shopify?
Shopify takes care of that for you, and it does it well. With us, we take care of it: your shop runs on our servers in Germany and Finland, and for large shops we put Netslim Edge in front of it, which serves pages from the cache and blocks attacks. With the backup web server, your shop stays online if a server goes down.
Is Shopify bad, then?
No. Shopify is a good platform if you want to set up a shop quickly yourself and don't mind paying per month and per sale. We are for people who want a shop that is built and maintained for them, for a fixed amount.
