What is a good alternative to Shopify for a small webstore? I don't want to pay a 20% cut.

IIUC, the 20% cut does not apply to web stores, it's for SaaS vendors who want to offer a plugin to Shopify web store owners, via Shopify's App Store.

I think there's some confusion here. This topic is about developers selling apps via the Shopify App Store, not about how much you pay Shopify to run an online ecommerce store.

Shopify charge a monthly fee for their online ecommmerce stores, and they don't take a 20% cut for that.

If you know a bit of coding I would advise to use SpreeCommerce. I used it very succesfully in the past.

I've been really enjoying SpreeCommerce (based on Rails). You can get away with very little coding if you're happy with the current feature set (which really covers all the basics and then some) and your Payment Gateway of choice is supported by them already or within the ActiveMerchant Payment Gateway options. And then writing your own Payment Gateway integration (like for offsite payments) is really easy too.

Craft commerce is a great platform but not ready to run like Shopify

WooCommerce?

[smaryjerry]

WooConmerce runs like garbage and slows the site speed down to a crawl though.

[yannoninator]

Really? Seems like a problem for the site & server itself rather than WooCommerce. Is there any evidence for this?
