Start easier

Finqu gives you premium design without the paid theme decision

Shopify’s free themes give merchants a basic starting point. But building a polished, conversion-focused store quickly leads to the paid theme market, where stronger layouts, richer sections and more complete design systems become part of the cost.

Finqu includes premium-level themes from the start. Each theme comes with pre-designed sections and content blocks, giving merchants a flexible design system for building a professional store that looks and works exactly the way they want.

+50

100%

Build the store your way

Adjust your store design with flexible sections and content blocks, instead of changing the whole theme when your needs change.

Keep costs clearer

Finqu helps you avoid the hidden cost climb

Shopify looks affordable at first because the advertised monthly plan gets most of the attention. But the real cost of running a growing store is built from more than the subscription.

Platform fees on sales

Local payment methods matter. With Shopify, external payment providers add third-party transaction fees of up to 2%. Finqu does not charge platform fees on sales.

Paid apps on top of the plan

Extra tools add cost. With Shopify, apps for reviews, search, automation, reporting and B2B add monthly costs. Finqu includes more commerce essentials from the start.

Extra costs when you expand

In-person selling should not be another upgrade. Shopify puts advanced retail tools behind POS Pro. Finqu includes a full point-of-sale from the start.

Multiple stores

Finqu keeps multiple stores connected

Growth creates new needs: B2C stores, B2B stores, market-specific storefronts, retail sales and different buying experiences for different customer groups.

With Shopify, additional storefronts are separate stores to manage. They do not automatically stay connected with each other, so products, inventory, orders, settings and workflows become separate parts of the operation.

Finqu is built around one connected commerce core. Multiple stores, POS, products, orders, customers and inventory stay connected as the business grows.

Multiple stores

Run B2C, B2B and market-specific stores from one connected commerce platform.

One place to manage orders

Manage orders from different stores and sales channels without splitting operations into separate systems.

Connected products and inventory

Keep products, stock levels and product data aligned across your stores and sales points.

European commerce

Finqu is built closer to European commerce

European commerce depends on local payment habits, market-specific expectations, EU consumer rules and practical merchant workflows.

Finqu supports local payment methods, market-specific stores and EU-focused workflows such as electronic return and cancellation requests.

Local payments

Offer payment methods customers know and trust.

EU-ready workflows

Support practical European commerce requirements from the platform.

Market-specific stores

Build stores for different countries, languages and customer groups.

AI workflows

Finqu gives you a store that works for you

Running a store creates constant work: products, campaigns, content, reports, returns, settings and growth ideas.

Finqu uses AI-powered workflows to help merchants understand what to improve next and turn ideas into action. It helps you plan, execute and improve the work behind the store.

Store works for you

Summary

Shopify is the right choice when the largest app marketplace, partner network and third-party ecosystem matter most.

Finqu is the better choice when you want more included from the start, clearer costs and a connected way to grow. You get premium design without buying a paid theme, no Finqu platform fees on sales, a full point-of-sale from the start and multiple stores connected under one commerce core.

This is the real difference: Shopify gives you the largest ecosystem. Finqu gives you a stronger starting point with less complexity around the store.
