Why sellers switch from Shopify to Stockpass

Shopify is powerful for physical goods, but digital delivery is secondary.

You own your store

Stockpass is self-hosted — it runs on infrastructure you control. No company can seize your domain, freeze your account, or shut down your checkout.

0% platform fee, always

Every plan charges 0% on top of your sales. You only ever pay your own payment gateway's normal processing fee — same as using it directly.

13 gateways, your own keys

Stripe, PayPal, Coinbase, Paddle, Square, BTCPay, Binance Pay, Skrill, Amazon Pay, and more — connected with your own credentials, never routed through a shared account.

Real import tooling

Direct API import from Gumroad, Payhip, Lemon Squeezy, and Whop, plus a flexible CSV importer that works with an export from any platform — including Shopify.

What is Shopify?

Shopify is a general-purpose ecommerce platform built primarily for physical goods retailers, with digital product delivery available through third-party apps rather than as a native, instant-delivery-first workflow. It's powerful and extensible, but that breadth comes with more setup complexity and app costs for a pure digital-goods store than a platform built specifically for that use case.

Frequently asked questions

Can Shopify deliver license keys or accounts automatically?

Only through third-party apps, which add cost and complexity. Stockpass has native stock-list, serial-pool, manual, and API-generated delivery types built in.
