The leak

Every month on Shopify leaks a little.

Their plan comes out each month. On Basic, 2% of each order goes too, unless you use Shopify Payments. Put in your own numbers.

Shopify Basic against our Starter, the plan we price against it.

Card processing is left off both sides, as on the pricing page, and its rates differ. On ours it is the standard Stripe fee, passed on at cost.

Trying it

Shopify gives you 3 days. We give you no end date.

Build and try your shop on the free plan. Move up a plan when it grows, not when a clock runs out.

Built for both

Shoppers now send their AI. Your shop should answer.

Storeware is AI native. Every shop opens ready for people and AI agents, on every plan. Agents read real prices and real stock.

Most shops were built for clicks.

Storeware was built for both.

Set the limit. Send the agent.

An agent with a key you give it buys only inside the limits you set.

Example. Nothing here touches a real shop.

Reviews

Reviews come with the shop.

On Shopify, reviews come through an app. Here they come with every plan.

Example. Nothing here touches a real shop.

Export from Shopify

Run the product, customer and order exports in your own Shopify admin.

On Storeware it stays

What comes across

  • Products, with the variants you actually sell
  • Prices
  • Stock levels
  • Images
  • Customers
  • Order history
  • What you still owe on gift cards
  • Your product web addresses, unchanged

Shopify has no collections export, so your collections are rebuilt here from your product types and tags. Nothing is created until you tick it.

Passwords, your theme, your apps, your own redirects, pages and blog posts, gift card codes and saved cards stay behind.

Questions

What Shopify merchants ask first.

Stock photo, not a Storeware customer.
Will my product addresses change?

No. Each product keeps its address. Old nested Shopify links and variant links are sent on to it.

Can I keep selling on Shopify while I try it?

Yes. Your new shop stays private until you open it, so your customers see nothing change.

Is there a fee on each order?

No fee of ours, on any plan. On Shopify Basic it is 2% of each order, unless you use Shopify Payments.

What about card fees?

Card processing is Stripe's standard fee, collected with each payment and passed to Stripe at cost.

What does it cost?

It is free to start, with no end date. Paid plans start at $14 a month, half of Shopify or less.

What comes across from Shopify?

Products, prices, stock, images, customers, order history, and a list of what you still owe on gift cards. We read 5 kinds of Shopify export.

What stays behind?

Passwords, your theme, your apps, your own redirects, pages and blog posts, gift card codes and saved cards. Collections are rebuilt from your product types and tags.

Can AI agents buy from my shop?

Yes, on every plan. An agent with a key you give it buys only inside the limits you set.

How do I bring my domain?

Open your new shop first. Then add the records we show you where your domain is managed.

Do I need a card to start?

No. Sign up, build your shop and look around without one.
