How to choose

If selling is the point, pick Shopify: 3 days free and then $1 a month for 3 months makes the start cheap, and Basic is $29 a month billed yearly. If the shop is a side feature of a site, Wix Core at $29 a month billed annually costs the same as Shopify Basic but adds a free first-year domain and a 14-day no-questions refund; Wix Light at $17 cannot take payments. Check card fees in your country first: Shopify Basic charges 2.9% + 30¢ online, plus 2% if you use another payment provider.
