Thinking about leaving Shopify?

qwiqshop handles the storefront, payments, and shipping so you can focus on your products — at a fraction of the monthly cost.

Storefront

Your own subdomain
yourstore.qwiqshop.com — a real store, not a listing on someone else's marketplace.
Customisable homepage
Set your own hero image and copy, and curate a feature block, all from your admin.
Product catalogue
Manage products, categories, stock levels, and featured items.
Branding
Store name, logo, and tagline — make it look like your business.
Multi-currency
Sell in GBP, USD, EUR, CAD, or AUD — set once at signup, before your first sale.

Payments

Stripe Connect
Payments go straight into your own Stripe account — qwiqshop never holds your money.
Secure checkout
A standard, trusted checkout flow your customers already recognise.
Simple pricing
£5.00/month plus a flat percentage per transaction — no hidden charges.

Shipping

Checkout shipping fees
Set what customers pay at checkout — free, flat rate, weight-based, or order-value tiers. Works everywhere, no integration required.
Order tracking
Tracking numbers are available to your customers automatically.

Fulfilment (optional)

Live courier rates
Connect Parcel2Go (UK-originating shipments) or Shippo (US and other international origins) to compare real-time rates from multiple couriers when you're ready to ship an order — an internal tool for you, never shown to customers at checkout.
Label purchase
Buy and print shipping labels directly from your order screen, via Parcel2Go or Shippo.

Inventory (optional)

Veeqo integration
Connect Veeqo to bring in orders and stock levels from Amazon, eBay, Etsy, TikTok Shop, and Shopify — keep one stock count across every channel you already sell on. Entirely optional.

Set up takes a few minutes — £5.00/month once you're ready to go live.
