An honest comparison
InAI Shop vs Shopify, without the fog.
Every InAI Shop cell in this table maps to shipping code, not a roadmap — and where Shopify is ahead, we say so plainly.
| Capability | InAI Shop | Shopify |
|---|---|---|
| Platform commission on sales | 0% — no application fee on Stripe Connect charges, enforced by a build-time lint rule and attested by a signed public endpoint. | Transaction fees per sale; with Shopify Payments, 1.6% + €0.30 per online transaction. |
| Spanish payment methods | Redsys, Bizum and seQura built in — plus Klarna, MercadoPago, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, Stripe, cash on delivery and bank transfer. | Through third-party gateways — which carry an extra transaction fee outside Shopify Payments. |
| Spanish tax compliance (VERI*FACTU, mandatory for merchants in 2027) | VERI*FACTU (hash chain, QR, AEAT), TicketBAI (plan-dependent), Facturae/UBL, corrective invoices and legal numbering built in; CFDI, DIAN and AFIP for LatAm. | Not built into the platform — handled with third-party apps and external invoicing services. |
| Agentic commerce (AI agents buying from your store) | Open and standards-based: MCP server, signed UCP manifest, ACP checkout, AP2 mandates, llms.txt — any agent can integrate, at 0% fee. | Closed: agent access runs through Shopify’s own programs and partnerships. |
| Loyalty, subscriptions, reviews, A/B testing, email campaigns, fraud detection | Native features of the platform — one vendor, one admin, no per-app subscriptions. | Largely third-party App Store apps, most with their own monthly fee. |
| B2B: quotes, purchase-order approvals, credit memos | Part of the same platform every store runs on — no separate edition to buy. | B2B is a Shopify Plus feature. |
| Migration path | Live importers for Magento (1.7→2.4) and PrestaShop (1.6→9), file imports for WooCommerce and Shopify — rehearsal copy, promote/rollback, automatic SEO redirects. | File- and app-based imports; rehearsal and rollback are on you. |
| Data sovereignty | One isolated database per store; EU data-residency zones on Enterprise. | Shared multi-tenant infrastructure — no database of your own. |
| Storefront search | Full-text as standard, typo-tolerant and AI/vector search on higher tiers — inside the platform. | Basic search in core; richer search through first- and third-party apps. |
| Store design | Block-based home editor and a live theme builder — no code needed. | A mature theme editor and a large Theme Store — honestly ahead of us in ready-made themes. |
Where Shopify is ahead
What we won’t pretend to have.
Shopify has an ecosystem of thousands of third-party apps, a large Theme Store and years of accumulated community answers. InAI Shop has no third-party app store today — our answer is a suite that is built in, plus a documented API for everything else. If your business depends on one specific Shopify app with no equivalent here, check before you switch.
Total cost
The bill is smaller than the sticker.
Two structural differences drive total cost: 0% platform commission — your payment cost is your provider’s rate, with nothing on top — and a suite that is included, where a typical Shopify setup assembles loyalty, subscriptions, reviews, A/B testing and email as separate paid apps. Plan prices are live on the pricing page; we don’t repeat them here.
Migrate without fear.
Bring your catalog into a rehearsal copy, keep your SEO with automatic redirects, and roll back if anything looks off.
