This is Katherine, Co-Founder of ShopLocket. Definitely understand where you are coming from in terms of fees. We've thought a lot about this. What we ended up doing for the pricing model is very much taking a cue from other services like Eventbrite, Etsy, and even lower plans on Shopify. Some competitors bring both there fees and the processing fees together, but it still usually ends up around 5%. This is actually a lot lower than tradition Marketplaces, say eBay that will charge much larger percentages. We're certainly open to feedback though! |

thanks for replying. i guess my biggest question is what really differentiates you from shopify then?
I have a shopify store for an e-commerce site I run and a wazala store (don't ask) to sell apparel items related to a blog I run. While shopify is great, but if i was going to pay the 5% or so percentage fee, I'd probably spring for shopify's fuller featured site capabilities over shoplocket.
I get the lower setup fee for Shoplocket, but when I heard of Shoplocket, I was really hoping i'd be able to use this as a lower-cost, less-featured alternative to shopify that was less expensive as well so i could finally get rid of Wazala and host stuff on my site.
I still might give it a try - I'm really anxious to get rid of wazala, but it'd be interesting to know your ideal customer usage of the product.
