Comparisons
Shopify is a commerce operating system. Bizzit is a site from a paragraph.
"Shopify vs a website" is usually the wrong sentence. Shopify is a cart platform: products, variants, apps, fulfillment workflows. Bizzit can be a shop if you write that you sell goods. It is not Shopify with a different logo.
Pick Shopify when the business is inventory, apps, and a cart you will live in daily. Pick Bizzit when you need a honest shop site, your own checkout on Pro, and you are not buying a commerce OS. Shopify's prices are on their site.
What Shopify is
Shopify is software for running a store: catalog, cart, checkout, apps, themes, and a lot of operational gravity. People pay it because they are in retail, not because they needed a five-page brochure. Check their public pricing; we do not reprint another product's SKU grid.
What a Bizzit shop is
If the brief is a store, we build a store and can fill a catalog from the niche. Pro puts checkout on your payment account, we do not take a sales cut. Overnight jobs can keep a catalog moving. That is not a silent AliExpress scraper and not Shopify's app store.
Who should pick Shopify
Pick Shopify if you need complex variants, wholesale channels, a theme you will customize for years, or an app you already depend on. Pick it if "the cart" is the business, not a page on the business.
Who should pick a hosted brief
Pick Bizzit if you sell a focused catalog, you can describe markup and shipping in sentences you will honor, and you want a URL this week. Free is enough to show the shop. $12 is the domain, unlimited Cipher, overnight jobs, and your checkout.
What we will not pretend
We are not a Shopify alternative in the sense of themes, apps, POS hardware, or multi-channel marketplaces. We do not have a CRM or analytics suite. If you outgrow a simple shop, that is a reason to move to a cart platform, not a reason for us to lie.
Checkout and fees
On Bizzit Pro, the customer pays you. Processor fees are still the processor's. Shopify's fee schedule is theirs. We will not invent either side's processing rates.
A table, not a slogan
Empty cells stay empty. We name our prices. We do not invent theirs.
| Job | Bizzit shop | Shopify |
|---|---|---|
| Primary job | Hosted business from a brief; shop is one kind | Commerce platform |
| Our price | Free slug; Pro $12/mo | Check their public pricing |
| Checkout owner | Your payment account on Pro | Their checkout |
| Bizzit sales cut | None | Not applicable |
| App store / themes | Yes, that is their product | |
| Catalog from a brief | Yes, with supplier shapes, not a scraper | You build the catalog |
| Overnight restock jobs | Pro, from the brief |
Limits and caveats
Do not buy Bizzit Pro because you wanted Shopify's app ecosystem. Do not buy Shopify because you only needed hours and a from-price on a page. Read both pricing pages. Ours is /pricing.
If a sentence would require a competitor SKU we have not verified, or a statistic we did not measure, it does not belong here.
What to do after you read this
If this page answered the query, open Create with the nouns from your own business, not a slogan. If it did not, you are probably in the wrong cluster: go back to the blog hub or Comparisons. Do not spin a second URL for a synonym. One intent per page is the whole point of this library.
Tools that actually do this job
These are public pages. Use them when the job is this job. They are not a second product you have to buy.

Questions people actually ask
Can Bizzit replace Shopify?
Only if your store is simple enough that a hosted brief and your checkout are the whole job. Most growing retailers should not pretend that.
Do you take a percent of sales?
No. Pro checkout is on your payment account.
Is dropshipping built-in like an app?
We fill from the brief and supplier shapes. We do not scrape other merchants. See the dropshipping caveats guide.
What does $12 include for a shop?
Unlimited Cipher, custom domain, overnight jobs, your checkout, no badge.
