The best ecommerce platform for beginners: easiest to use, quickest to set up, cheapest to run!

At SimpleShop we’re proud to call ourselves the ecommerce website builder for beginners. Though plenty of ecommerce experts use our platform, we’re the top choice for first time ecommerce founders. Here are six reasons why ecommerce beginners love using SimpleShop.

You can start selling online in minutes

No platform is faster to get set up and transactional, allowing you to take payments for the products you sell within minutes of signing up. Adding products, categories, variants, payment gateways is super simple, and you can set easy rules to calculate tax and shipping automatically.

We’re a fraction of the cost of other platforms, we take no fees on the sales you make, and there are no limits

Unlike other ecommerce platforms, we believe setting up and running an online store should be as affordable as possible, and that’s the reason we are a fraction of the cost of other ecommerce platforms. We want to make it as cost effective for small stores to start trading, with a totally free trial with no credit card required, and if you like us, you can sell with no limits on sales or products, and no commission for $14 per month.

The SimpleShop admin area makes managing your store a breeze

Our admin area makes it clear and easy to manage orders, products, shipping, labels, CRM, and more. No prior ecommerce experience is needed, and everything is written in plain english. We have website analytics included as standard, so you can see exactly where your site visitors are coming from and where sales have come from.

Our professional ecommerce themes work beautifully on any device, and display your products and brand in all their glory. Best of all, they just work as they should. With the perfect balance between flexibility and simplicity, our templates cover a wide range of industries and styles, and all themes are included in the platform.
