A store builder that starts free

Shopify requires a monthly subscription from day one. Buylib's free plan costs nothing upfront — you only pay a commission once you actually sell, with optional paid plans if a flat fee works out cheaper for your volume.

Where Buylib fits better

Free to start, no upfront cost

Buylib's free plan has no monthly fee — you pay a commission only when you make a sale. Paid plans exist if you'd rather trade a flat fee for a lower commission at higher volume.

Digital, physical, and service products together

Sell downloads, courses, physical goods, coaching, and subscriptions from the same store — not just a physical-product catalog.

Built-in marketplace exposure

Your store can also appear in Buylib's shared marketplace, giving you a discovery channel beyond your own marketing.

Honest note

Shopify has a much larger app ecosystem and is built to scale to very large physical-product retailers with complex logistics needs. If that's your situation, it may still be the right tool. Buylib is built for independent creators and small sellers who want a simple way to sell digital products, physical goods, services, and subscriptions from one store, starting with zero upfront cost.
