In the field of cross-border e-commerce, choosing the right website building platform is crucial. SHOPLINE and Shopify are two mainstream SaaS website building platforms with their own advantages. This article will provide an in-depth comparison of their features, pricing, applicable scenarios, and user experience to help you find the most suitable website building solution for your business needs.
With the continuous changes in platform policies and trade policies, and fierce internal and external competition, more and more Chinese cross-border merchants have begun to explore the business model of independent stations from platform (such as Amazon and AliExpress) and B2B foreign trade.
Merchants are beginning to realize that the independent website model with a higher degree of freedom can help them accumulate long-term brand value, and become the core of business growth with brand autonomy, data precipitation capabilities and higher profits (saving 15%-20% platform commissions).
Compared with self-built websites, SaaS website building platforms greatly reduce the technical threshold of merchants through low-cost website building, ecological integration (multi-channel/payment/logistics) and compliance support, and promote the transformation of cross-border e-commerce from “platform dependence” to “brand driven”.
So, how can merchants make better choices in the face of various types of independent website SaaS service providers that have emerged?
As the mainstream representatives of cross-border merchants when choosing independent website SaaS service providers, SHOPLINE and Shopify will be analyzed from the perspectives of advantages and disadvantages, functional features, and cost-effectiveness to help cross-border brand merchants provide a clearer basis for their choice.

1. What is SHOPLINE and Shopify?
SHOPLINE is an independent SaaS platform that drives the global business growth of cross-border e-commerce brands, focusing on helping brands connect consumers around the world through omnichannel solutions for independent websites. [1]
Founded in Hong Kong in 2013 and headquartered in Singapore, SHOPLINE has a global team of more than 2,000 people, covering 11 markets including China, the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, and Australia, and has set up a global R&D center in Guangzhou, China, with the core of its business based on the Chinese market.
To achieve these three challenges, product managers will only continue to appreciate
Good product managers are very scarce, and product managers who understand users, business, and data are still in demand when they go out of the Internet. On the contrary, if you only do simple communication, inefficient execution, and shallow thinking, I am afraid that you will not be able to go through the torrent of the next 3-5 years.

SHOPLINE received investment from Alibaba in 2016 and 2020 respectively and strategic investment from Huanju Group, and has also successively become an official partner of Google, Meta, AWS, TikTok, and Amazon. With the increase in investment and strategic cooperation, SHOPLINE has shown a very considerable growth rate. As of 2024, SHOPLINE has served more than 600,000 merchants, reaching more than 1.5 billion global consumers. Among the huge number of service merchants, there are also representatives of the globalization of Chinese brands, such as Yarbo, Anta, iFLYTEK, Shanji, Aoji, Soufeel and other leading enterprises in various industries that are conquering overseas markets. [2]
Shopify is a SaaS platform that provides one-stop website building solutions for e-commerce businesses, dedicated to creating a better business experience for everyone, making it easier for people to start and run their businesses, and promoting business growth.
Shopify was founded in 2006 and is headquartered in Ottawa, the capital city of Canada. With its then-leading technology prowess, Shopify experienced rapid growth and was successfully listed on Nasdaq in 2015. As of November 2024, its total market capitalization has reached $139.93 billion (data update: as of 5/7/25, the total market capitalization has fallen back to 121.7 billion).
According to data from Shopify’s official website, its business scope has spread to 175 countries and regions, serving millions of merchants of different sizes who use Shopify to build e-commerce websites. [3]
2. What are the differences between SHOPLINE and Shopify?
1. Detailed analysis of SHOPLINE and Shopify at the level of core product functions
(1) Website building capacity:
Both SHOPLINE and Shopify support convenient drag-and-drop methods for quick website construction, dual-end adaptation on both desktop and mobile terminals, and powerful AI website building capabilities.
In terms of website building templates, Shopify provides cross-border merchants with 200+ website building template options through its large number of third-party ecosystem partners, covering the website building needs of various industry categories, of which the templates that require additional payment account for 95% of the total number of templates (13 free templates are provided), and the price ranges from 100$ to 490$. [4]
At present, although the number of theme templates of SHOPLINE is not large, it basically covers the website building needs of various industry categories. [5]
Whether the theme template is self-developed by the platform is actually a key point that cross-border merchants need to consider in the selection process. Non-self-developed can effectively utilize a large number of ecological partner capabilities to provide merchants with a sufficiently rich number of templates (such as Shopify). But it does not mean that a small number of self-developed templates cannot meet the website building needs of merchants, and the platform will basically launch adapted industry templates according to mainstream industry categories to meet the website building needs of merchants (such as SHOPLINE). Another difference between self-developed and non-self-developed templates comes from self-developed theme templates, which allow the platform to effectively ensure the compatibility and performance of the website (including key capabilities such as product functions, application plug-ins, and website loading speed used on the website).
For merchants with R&D capabilities, both SHOPLINE and Shopify provide open platforms and a large number of technical documents to help merchants carry out personalized customized development of independent websites.
In terms of flexibility, Shopify has a much larger number of templates than SHOPLINE, and different templates also have their own unique and eye-catching designs, but because of the different design developers, the compatibility between different templates is poor, and merchants cannot integrate the characteristic designs of different templates into a single website, which invisibly creates an unbreakable “wall” for merchants. In order to meet the integration needs of merchants, the “Advanced Component Library” plug-in has been launched, which collects modules with characteristics and advantages in this single plugin, making it convenient for merchants to choose the right category theme while flexibly adjusting the characteristic website building modules across multiple themes.
(2) Omni-channel capability:
In addition to the basic website building capabilities, the omni-channel capabilities of the website building platform are also the core selection factors that cross-border merchants pay attention to. Both SHOPLINE and Shopify support offline store POS (Shopify POS does not support third-party coupons and Windows, and online and offline data is not interoperable), mobile app shopping and other consumption scenarios, and the data interoperability of all touchpoints can help merchants achieve a closed loop of global data. In addition, the comparison of omni-channel capabilities is also reflected in the following aspects:
Multi-market support:
In the context of increasingly fierce competition in global e-commerce, the need for multi-market support capabilities for cross-border merchants has become particularly urgent. Consumers in different markets have significant differences in language, payment habits, cultural preferences, etc. If the platform cannot provide localized adaptation, it will lead to fragmented user experience and even lead to high abandonment rates.
Multi-market operations involve complex links such as multilingual management, logistics scheduling, and tax compliance, and if the platform lacks integration capabilities, merchants need to invest a lot of manpower and material resources to coordinate themselves. Over-reliance on a single market or channel may lead to external factors such as policy changes and increased competition (such as the recent U.S. tariff issue).
Multi-market layout can enhance business resilience. Enhancing the global competitiveness of brands is the infrastructure of brand internationalization, which directly affects brand image and market penetration. For merchants planning to expand their international business, choosing a platform with multi-market support capabilities will be a key strategic decision.
Comparison of SHOPLINE and Shopify Multi-Marketplace Core Capabilities:[6][7]
Multi-platform integration:
For independent website merchants, the multi-platform docking capability has been upgraded from an “optional function” to a “survival rigid need”. Short-term value is conducive to diversifying risks, reducing customer acquisition costs, and improving operational efficiency. Long-term value is conducive to precipitating data assets, building brand barriers, and achieving global expansion. Choosing a website building tool with mature multi-platform docking capabilities is also a key factor in merchant selection.

Social Media Integration:
Social media is the most direct traffic entrance for independent websites, and the closed loop of “public domain drainage → private domain conversion” can be realized through seamless docking. It is also the core position for users to establish emotional connection with the brand, which directly affects user stickiness. Independent website merchants can communicate brand value to users through independent websites and social media, and refined data operations can help merchants start projects with low budgets, and also provide a feasible path for mature brands to grow on a large scale.
SHOPLINE vs. Shopify Social Media Integration Capabilities:[6][7]
(3) Marketing and data:
Advertising and marketing are the core customer acquisition model of independent websites to cold start and large-scale growth. Merchants can accurately place advertisements based on keywords and user profiles (such as age, region, and interests) to directly reach target customers. For example, data shows that search engine advertising can increase conversion rates by more than 30%, while social media advertising can reduce the cost per click (CPC) to $0.8 through interactive content such as short videos, which is much lower than traditional channels.
Search engines are the main entry point for independent website traffic, with about 95% of visits coming from organic search. Through SEO optimization (such as keyword layout, content marketing), merchants can obtain free traffic stably for a long time.
Clear and visual data analysis capabilities can help merchants further quantitatively evaluate the effectiveness of advertising and SEO, gain in-depth insight into user behavior, identify high-potential markets and user pain points, and drive refined operations and decision-making.
Therefore, whether it is marketing capabilities or accurate data requirements, the independent website platform we choose requires that the advertising, SEO and data analysis capabilities can be integrated into a closed-loop system of “traffic + retention”.
In addition, in terms of on-site marketing, flexible marketing capabilities (promotional activities, atmosphere creation, user experience, personalized recommendations, ABtest, intelligent customer service, email marketing, membership operation, etc.) are the core links to improve user purchase conversion and enhance brand stickiness.

(4) Checkout and payment:[6][7]
The checkout and payment capabilities of independent websites are the core factors that determine user conversion rates, and excellent checkout and payment capabilities can help independent website merchants improve conversion rates, reduce abandonment rates, and help independent website consumers enhance payment trust and security. Of course, independent website merchants also need to pay attention to payment fees and the settlement cycle of funds, which are crucial for capital turnover efficiency and operating costs.
Payment Methods:
Both SHOPLINE and Shopify basically support mainstream payment methods and channels around the world, such as PayPal, Google Pay, Apple Pay, credit cards, installment payments, buy now, pay later, etc. The big difference between the two is that SHOPLINE’s local payment coverage is more comprehensive, and for localized merchants, local payment methods can greatly improve the conversion rate, such as cash on delivery (COD), bank transfer and other payment methods SHOPLINE also allow merchants to flexibly add applications. Shopify, on the other hand, offers more payment options through partnerships with third-party payment gateways, such as cryptocurrency payments.
Localization Adaptation:
Both SHOPLINE and Shopify support automatic switching of multiple languages and currencies, and the calculation of taxes and fees, allowing merchants to adopt different pricing strategies for different countries and regions. Both are also integrated with Avalara, but SHOPLINE’s US merchants can file taxes directly through Avalara, while Shopify does not currently support it.
Checkout process:
Both SHOPLINE and Shopify support one-click payment with Google Pay and Apple Pay, and both support merchants to customize the checkout process (but some advanced features are limited by package versions and require merchants to have certain research and development capabilities). Compared with Shopify, SHOPLINE’s user experience on the mobile terminal will be relatively better, and because of the reduction of third-party dependence, SHOPLINE supports single-page checkout (allowing consumers to complete the checkout process on one page and reduce the number of payment page jumps), which will have a significant impact on reducing the abandonment rate, and Shopify’s Shop Pay optimization for checkout speed also makes up for this to a certain extent.
Payment Security and Risk Control:
SHOPLINE reduces the rate of theft and achieves a safe and insensitive payment experience through anti-fraud technologies such as dynamic 3D verification and AI risk control models. Shopify ensures consumer payment security with a built-in fraud analysis system and support for AVS/CVV verification and other features.
When transaction risks occur, SHOPLINE’s risk control team will proactively contact merchants to deal with disputes or potential risks to prevent merchants from being directly banned due to transaction problems, which is one of the important reasons why many cross-border merchants choose SHOPLINE.
2. Comparison of SHOPLINE and Shopify package fees
SHOPLINE：
SHOPLINE offers 4 different versions of packages to help merchants at different stages build independent websites to start business: Starter Edition, Basic Edition, Ultimate Edition and Enterprise Edition (SHOPLINE Enterprise), which correspond to Shopify’s Basic, Grow, Advanced and Plus editions respectively. [8]
Except for the Enterprise Edition, all other packages of SHOPLINE can be tried for 14 days, which greatly lowers the threshold for merchants to understand the product when selecting and comparing, and can help merchants better determine whether the product is suitable before payment.
SHOPLINE Starter Edition:
Package subscription fee: 29 USD/month (equivalent to about 200 RMB per month), 24 USD/month (equivalent to about 168 RMB per month) per year.
In terms of the percentage of commissions taken by the platform, the commission ratio of the SHOPLINE entry version is 2%. If merchants use SHOPLINE Payments to collect payments, this part of the 2% platform commission can be waived.
Although the SHOPLINE entry version is relatively cheap in terms of subscription costs, the package includes all the basic functions of building an independent website, and you can also enjoy free theme templates, self-developed plug-in rights, and carry out independent website business completely normally, in addition to providing 10 free employee accounts, suitable for start-up brands, individual merchants or independent website novices for low-cost business exploration.
SHOPLINE Basic:
Package subscription fee: $79 per month (equivalent to about 553 yuan per month), 66 USD/month (equivalent to about 468 yuan per month) per month.
In terms of the commission ratio of the platform, the commission ratio of the basic version of SHOPLINE is 0.8%. Compared to the starter package, it is much lower. Similarly, if merchants use SHOPLINE Payments to collect payments, this part of the 0.8% platform commission can be waived.
In terms of functions and benefits, there is almost no difference between the basic version of SHOPLINE and the entry-level version, mainly in the platform commission ratio mentioned above, and the difference of 1.2% commission ratio is a big cost for merchants who are just starting to scale, so it is recommended that merchants can upgrade the SHOPLINE version of the package when the business scale develops to a certain extent, which can greatly reduce the commission fee of the platform. In addition, when merchants using the basic version apply for SHOPLINE Payments, they can not only get exemption from platform commission fees, but also get a more favorable payment rate compared to the entry-level version. It is suitable for merchants whose independent website business is in a period of rapid growth and needs to increase profit margins.
SHOPLINE Ultimate:
Package subscription fee: $269/month (equivalent to about 1,883 RMB per month) and $224/month (equivalent to about 1,568 RMB per month) per year.
In terms of the percentage of commissions taken by the platform, the commission ratio of the SHOPLINE ultimate version is 0.4%. Compared to the starter package, it is much lower. Similarly, if merchants use SHOPLINE Payments to receive payments, this 0.4% platform commission can be waived.
In addition to the lower platform commission ratio (0.4%) and SHOPLINE Payments payment rate, the ultimate version merchants can also use the Pro version of social e-commerce functions for free, 100 employee accounts, exclusive customer service for enterprises, and open up some function expansion capabilities. It is suitable for merchants whose independent website business has matured and needs to further refine operation and management.
SHOPLINE Enterprise:
SHOPLINE Enterprise is a full-link enterprise-level cross-border solution for medium and large enterprises to solve the difficulties of overseas growth, which is suitable for medium and large mature brand merchants with a high degree of customization of independent websites, need global expansion and more customized functions, and seek large-scale growth and large sales.
Its subscription fee is based on the specific needs of the merchant, but it is certain that its platform commission ratio and payment rate will be lower and more favorable compared to other package versions, which will greatly reduce R&D and operating costs for mature brand merchants.
In terms of functions and benefits, the SHOPLINE Enterprise version has been greatly adjusted, including providing merchants with a large number of self-developed high-end application plug-ins, 10 free stores, unlimited employee accounts, complete checkout process customization functions, fast checkout, tax automation, organization management, etc. These improvements in rights and functions will better match the business development needs of medium and large mature brand merchants. At the same time, there are also major upgrades in terms of service, including one-on-one exclusive account managers, relocation support teams, business operation diagnosis experts and other long-term service support.
Shopify：
Shopify also offers 4 different plans and offers merchants a 3-day free trial for $1 for the first month after renewal. [9]
Basic：
Package subscription fee: $29 (about 210 yuan) / month (annual payment); US$39 (approx. 280 RMB)/month (paid monthly). In terms of transaction fees, the rate is 2.9%, plus a flat fee of 30 cents (approximately 2 yuan).
If merchants don’t use Shopify Payments to collect payments, they will also be charged a 2% service fee (Note: Shopify Payments is not available to merchants in Chinese mainland).
The Basic package is a basic package and is suitable for start-up brands or merchants who carry out cross-border e-commerce sales part-time. The package includes the basic functions of building an independent website, in addition to providing merchants with 3 localized global sales markets and 10 inventory locations.
Grow Package:
Package subscription cost: $79 (about 560 yuan) / month (paid annually); 105 US dollars (about 735 yuan) / month (monthly payment). In terms of transaction fees, the rate is 2.7%, plus a fixed fee of 30 cents (about 2 yuan).
If merchants do not use Shopify Payments to collect payments, they will also be charged a 1% service fee (Note: Shopify Payments is not available to merchants in Chinese mainland).
The Grow package is an upgrade plan to Basic, adding an additional 5 staff accounts to the Basic package.
Advanced Package:
Package subscription fee: 299 USD (about 2,100 yuan)/month (paid annually); 399 US dollars (about 2,800 yuan) / month (monthly payment). In terms of transaction fees, the rate is 2.5%, plus a fixed fee of 30 cents (about 2 yuan).
If merchants do not use Shopify Payments to receive payments, they will also be charged a 0.6% service fee (Note: Shopify Payments is not available to merchants in Chinese mainland).
For example, merchants can use Shopify’s filtering and editing functions to modify default reports and create custom reports, and add multiple marketplaces for an additional fee; 15 additional staff accounts, enhanced concurrent trading capabilities, enhanced intelligent customer service support, etc.

3. What categories of merchants are SHOPLINE and Shopify suitable for?
Cross-border merchants of different categories, different business models and target markets have different selection criteria for the product capabilities of independent website platforms, and based on the actual needs of enterprises, each enterprise has different reasons for choosing.
(1) From the perspective of objective data, merchants can make suggestions for the selection of different types of merchants based on the proportion of merchant types distributed on the two platforms of SHOPLINE and Shopify.
Image data source: storeleads SHOPLINE Merchant sales category distribution [10]
Image source: storeleads Shopify Merchant Sales Category Distribution [11]
Judging from the data of storeleads, merchants on SHOPLINE and Shopify are mainly concentrated in the following categories: clothing and decorations, home gardening, food and beverage, beauty and skin care.
Among them, SHOPLINE’s clothing and decoration merchants, 3C consumer electronics merchants, and home gardening merchants have a higher proportion than Shopify, while the proportion of beauty and skin care and social and humanistic service merchants on Shopify has a more obvious advantage than SHOPLINE.
Although Shopify completely overshadows SHOPLINE in terms of the absolute number of merchants as a whole, it has a first-mover advantage for many years. However, from the perspective of the distribution of categories, SHOPLINE focuses on some vertical categories of industries (such as clothing decorations, 3C consumer electronics and home gardening categories), so that more and more merchants in these categories choose SHOPLINE.
(2) According to third-party relocation data, in the past 90 days, 600+ merchants’ independent websites have migrated from other platforms to SHOPLINE, of which 307 merchants have moved from Shopify to SHOPLINE (91 merchants have moved from Shopify to Shopify), accounting for nearly half of the total relocation. From the perspective of the types of relocated merchants, they include the domestic intelligent robot brand Yarbo, the clothing brand geeksoutfit, and the POD product customization brand giftlab.
Image data source: storeleads SHOPLINE platform store migration data [10]
(3) From the perspective of advantageous capabilities, Shopify has huge ecological resources, whether it is theme templates or application plugins, it is far more than SHOPLINE, so it surpasses SHOPLINE in terms of supported category coverage. SHOPLINE is backed by the Chinese market, close to Chinese merchants, has strong supply chain and e-commerce experience, and has some advantages that Shopify does not have, which is reflected in the product level such as the ability to customize POD products, BwP functions that differentiate from Shopify (unlimited subjects, hybrid shopping carts, flexible payment, etc.) [12], and flexible marketing gameplay. If merchants want to use the dimension of industry category as the basis for selection, they can rationally judge and choose a website building platform suitable for them based on their own categories, market experience and business development plans.
4. How to choose between SHOPLINE and Shopify?
Based on the above comparison and analysis of SHOPLINE and Shopify, we give suggestions for the selection of merchants’ independent website platforms from the following dimensions:
1. Product function dimension – adapt to local conditions
Multi-market globalization capabilities in line with the current trend As mentioned earlier, SHOPLINE and Shopify are fully supported in terms of product capabilities, and SHOPLINE provides merchants with more in-depth localization capabilities and omni-channel solution support on the basis of globalization capabilities, and Shopify’s advantage lies in the huge number of third-party ecological partners, and third-party service providers can also solve the problems encountered by merchants in global expansion.
In terms of the completeness of the basic functions of website building, the capabilities of mainstream SaaS website building platforms on the market are not very different, but in terms of product ease of use and consumer experience, Shopify and SHOPLINE are almost fault-based. If you are an overseas merchant, then choosing Shopify will be more natural in terms of product usage and operation. If you are a merchant in China, the product experience of SHOPLINE will be more in line with the usage habits of domestic merchants.
In terms of the independent website experience on the consumer side, we tested the loading performance of SHOPLINE and Shopify through the two dimensions of bare theme templates (without installing plugins) and approximate theme templates (installing plugins with the same functions). If merchants pay more attention to the C-end experience of independent websites, then we recommend merchants to choose SHOPLINE.
In terms of the number of app plugins, the Shopify App Market provides far more third-party plugins than SHOPLINE, but after comparison, the range of functions covered by the two app plugins is basically matched. If merchants are considering more factors in terms of app plugins, it is recommended to take turns trying SHOPLINE (14 days) and Shopify (3 days) to see if their app plugins can meet their business needs.
2. Cost-effective dimension – SHOPLINE is better
Judging from the cost comparison between SHOPLINE and Shopify mentioned above, both offer multiple different versions for merchants to choose according to their needs. Although the difference in amount is not very large, when the scale of the brand’s business develops to a mature stage and hopes to continue to increase profit margins, the cost of building a website platform has to be taken into account.
When sales reach a certain order, the biggest operating cost for merchants is the commission of the platform and third-party payment gateways. In terms of third-party payment gateway commissions, both SHOPLINE and Shopify have official Payments, and if you use official Payments, then the amount of platform commissions can be waived.
In terms of hidden costs (such as theme templates, app plugins, etc.), SHOPLINE’s theme templates are provided free to merchants, while Shopify’s small number of theme templates are free, and the vast majority of theme templates charge a certain fee. In terms of app plugin fees, SHOPLINE also provides 200+ plugins through self-developed and third-party collaborations, most of which are free to use, while the vast majority of app plugins in Shopify require a separate fee. Therefore, from a cost perspective alone, it is recommended that merchants choose SHOPLINE, whether it is explicit or implicit costs, it can save a lot of money.
3. Service support dimension – SHOPLINE > Shopify
The essence of the independent website building platform is also a SaaS product, and the service is the core of the SaaS product.
(1) Both SHOPLINE and Shopify provide 7*24h intelligent customer service functions in their products, which can solve most customer inquiries on the front end of the product;
(2) In terms of manual customer service, SHOPLINE provides 6*12h manual service to merchants, which can answer merchants’ questions instantly. Although Shopify does not provide immediate manual service, if the message in the intelligent customer service cannot be answered, it may be forwarded to a technical consultant for follow-up, and the time difference is about 1-2 days;
(3) For brand merchants, if you have opened the Shopify Plus package, there will be a separate Shopify technical consultant follow-up service, if the merchant has customized needs, it will recommend a third-party service provider to the merchant for business communication, and if there are product-related questions, you can also answer the merchant immediately. If you activate the SHOPLINE Enterprise plan, you will have a separate team of SHOPLINE experts who will provide continuous services from relocation to business diagnostics and operational optimization.
(4) Although Shopify’s multi-market capabilities cover 170+ countries and regions, it is headquartered in Canada, and most of the service support relies on remote communication. Although SHOPLINE is headquartered in Singapore, the R&D center is located in Guangzhou, and branches have been set up in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Hangzhou, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and other places to provide guarantee for global localization service support.
Therefore, from the perspective of service support, intelligent customer service that can solve most problems is available in both Shopify and SHOPLINE. However, the core problem is often that it has become a minority, cross-border merchants are inseparable from the manual service of SaaS products, and brand merchants are inseparable from the support of the platform’s professional team, so if it is a merchant of Chinese brands going overseas, it is recommended to give priority to SHOPLINE.
