How to choose

Which platforms does it need to run on?

Choose a web platform for browser-based store management, or check for API access when another app needs to connect. Self-hosted options let you run the store on your own hosting.

Review iOS, Android, and Linux marks if staff need store tools on those systems.

What will it cost as the catalog grows?

Start with the free-plan and free-trial marks, then compare the paid-from price. Check the product limit before importing a catalog.

A free plan and a free trial are different: a free plan can continue without payment, while a trial lasts for a stated period.

Which checkout features does it need?

Match the platform to the checkout features you require: multilingual storefronts, multi-currency checkout, built-in POS, and subscription products.

If shoppers may leave before paying, check for abandoned-cart recovery.

Does it need an API or open-source code?

A public API is a documented way for other apps to exchange information with the store. Use that mark when you need connections to existing software.

If you need to read or change the code, check the open-source mark and the licence before choosing.

Questions

What should I compare in B2C eCommerce software?

Compare price, product limits, platform support, abandoned-cart recovery, multilingual and multi-currency checkout, POS, and subscription products.

Which eCommerce platforms offer a free plan?

The board marks tools with a free plan. Review the pricing note for paid starting prices and limits before committing.

What is a public API in eCommerce software?

A public API is a documented connection that lets another app exchange information with the store.

What does self-hosted eCommerce mean?

Self-hosted means you run the store software on hosting you control instead of relying on the vendor's hosted service.

Do these tools support mobile devices?

Platform marks show support for web, iOS, Android, and Linux. Check the marks for the systems your team uses.
