Why Choose a Shopify Alternative?

Choosing a custom e-commerce solution from RedStudio can save your business thousands in fees over the years. With Shopify, many businesses find themselves locked into expensive monthly plans and transaction fees that eat into their profits. Our alternative ensures that you're not losing margins to these costs, providing a more sustainable model for growth. Additionally, for businesses frustrated by template limitations and seeking a unique online identity, a custom store offers the flexibility to design a website that aligns perfectly with your brand vision. Whether you're looking to implement specific features or tailor your site to enhance user experience, RedStudio offers the freedom to innovate without constraints.

Why Businesses Are Leaving Shopify

Shopify charges €32-€384/month plus 0.5-2% transaction fees on every sale. Over three years, a typical store pays €5,000-€15,000 in Shopify fees alone — before apps and themes. RedStudio builds you a custom online store you actually own. No monthly platform fees, no transaction cuts, no app marketplace tax. One investment, full control, and a site that looks and works exactly how your business needs it to.
