Shift4Shop review

Shift4Shop takes a different approach from the builders above: one unlimited plan, listed at $41 a month, with most features built into the core software. That includes 100+ free mobile-friendly themes, real-time shipping rates and label printing for USPS, UPS, FedEx and other carriers, coupons and group deals, built-in email marketing, cart abandonment recovery, SEO tools and fraud protection provided by Kount. It connects to Facebook, eBay and Amazon with inventory sync and offers free migration from your current platform, plus a dedicated US-based support team. For a first-time merchant, the weak points are the learning curve and the look of the admin, which is busier than Shopify, Square or Wix. Payments run through Shift4Shop's integrated processing, described on its site as a PayPal solution, so check the processing terms before you commit. It fits US merchants who value a flat price and built-in features over polish.

Who it is for

US merchants who want many built-in features, real-time shipping and free migration help at a flat monthly price.
