Payment Depot Reviews: Monthly Memberships for Payments

Ecommerce Reviews

It's a good idea to look at Payment Depot reviews like this one, because it truly is one of the most transparent payment processors. If you like membership pricing, Payment Depot provides a system where you pay a monthly membership fee for your processing.

Because of this, there are only small transaction fees and no percentage markups based on the number of sales or the cost of products being sold.

We're starting to see many other payment processors go with pricing models like this. Payment Depot seems to be a leader with this payment structure, considering you don't have to worry about application or setup fees–and the pricing is rather transparent.

How to Sell With the Shopify Lite Plan and Oberlo

Articles

Disclaimer:
Oberlo officially shut down on June 15, 2022. You can’t use Oberlo to import or fulfil products anymore. We recommend using DSers, which is an approved Shopify app for dropshipping and works as a direct alternative.

Also, keep in mind: the Shopify Lite plan has been replaced by the Shopify Starter Plan at $5 per month as of June 2022. New users can’t sign up for Shopify Lite and should use Shopify Starter to sell without a full online store. If you’re on the old Lite plan and switch, you can’t go back.

Building an online store used to be considered an extremely difficult task. Even today, you typically need some sort of development knowledge when working with most platforms. In addition, you have to make your own products and figure out a way to package and ship them. However, a combination of the Shopify Lite plan and Oberlo has made it so much easier on merchants.

In short, Shopify Lite provides online store tools at a reasonable price, while Oberlo connects you with thousands of suppliers willing to dropship your products to customers.

I’ve spent weeks testing Teachable for my own ecommerce business and comparing it to other platforms like Kajabi and Thinkific.

In this review, I’ll break down the real experience — from setting up my course to understanding where Teachable shines and where it falls short.

Open source ecommerce platforms are a powerful choice if you want full control over your store’s setup, features, and future.

Unlike hosted solutions like Shopify or Wix, open source tools let you own your data, scale how you want, and avoid monthly platform fees.

But not all open source platforms are built the same. Some are great for beginners, others require a full development team.

After testing and researching dozens of options, I’ve narrowed down the best open source ecommerce platforms for 2025, based on ease of use, flexibility, features, scalability, and cost.
