Articles Ecommerce Shopify
VTEX vs Shopify: Which is best? After reviewing both options, I think Shopify is the best solution overall. It’s far more flexible (and easy to use) than VTEX, and offers solutions for businesses from a range of different industries, alongside omnichannel selling capabilities.

The easy answer is Shopify. Although Etsy Pattern is an easy-to-use tool for building your own branded website, it only allows you to sell certain products, and limits your scalability. Shopify is a fully flexible and versatile commerce platform, with much greater functionality.
With Shopify, you get more advanced inventory and order management tools, a more powerful website builder, integrated marketing solutions, and the option to enable omnichannel sales.

How Much Does Shopify Take From Each Sale in 2026?
Articles Shopify
Shopify takes between 2.4% to 2.9% + 30¢ per transaction when using Shopify Payments, depending on your subscription plan. If you choose to use third-party payment processors such as PayPal or Stripe, Shopify adds an additional transaction fee ranging from 0.5% to 2%, also depending on your plan. These fees can add up quickly, especially for high-volume stores, so understanding how they work is crucial to maintaining healthy profit margins.
The exact fee Shopify takes from each sale is tied directly to your monthly subscription plan. As of 2025, Shopify offers Basic, Grow, and Advanced plans, along with Shopify Plus for enterprise-level businesses. Each plan comes with its own transaction fee rates, monthly subscription cost, and features. Knowing how each fee works—and when it applies—can help you make smarter financial decisions as you grow your ecommerce store.
