Benefits vs. Shopify
Zero Transaction Fees
Shopify requires merchants to use their payments system, or pay a 2% transaction fee, which can really add up. We don’t charge any transaction fees, and allow merchants to select from over 40 international payment gateways.
Ease of Use
While Shopify is relatively straightforward, it can require more advanced skills to set up, particularly when it comes to design. We’re designed to get merchants set up and selling in minutes, no developer or technical knowledge needed.
Core Features
While many features are available on Shopify, a large number are through app integrations at an additional cost. We have all our main features built into the core platform. Apps are available as enhancements, but are not necessary.
Global Selling
Shopify’s language capabilities are limited, reliant on 3rd-party apps and manual translations. With 50+ language translations and multi-language capability, we let merchants sell anywhere.
Benefits vs. Squarespace
Website Templates
Squarespace primarily offers portfolio-type templates for bloggers, photographers, and artists. With a Smart Website, you get access to 100+ templates across a variety of industries made to deliver conversions and business results.
Backup & Restore
There are no native integrated backup and restore capabilities on Squarespace! Your new Smart Website comes with auto and manual backup features with one click.
Search Engines
The only resource Squarespace provides to help you be found on Google is a basic on page SEO setting. We give you a smarter website designed and aligned with Google's best practices for security, Lighthouse, and SEO.
Local Business Features
There are NO local listing integrations available in the Squarespace platform. With your Smart Website, you get local listing and reputation management apps, a map widget for single / multiple locations, local business schema widgets, and posting to Google & Facebook.
Benefits vs. Wix
1-to-1 Customer Conversion
Conversion-boosting elements such as pop-ups, clicks-to-call and more based on site visit and site visitor criteria such as date, time and location are included with your smart Website. These elements can be triggered through a variety of rules based on campaign tracking codes, user device type, and other information.
Wix does not include any rule-based triggers for personalization.
Advanced Website Visibility
Our platform is designed with Google's best practices for security and speed maximizing discoverability. Wix only comes with very basic features to help you get discovered in search engines.
Access to Code
With a Smart Website, you can edit any site element's JavaScript, HTML, or CSS. There is limited access to a few components on Wix unless you're experienced with Corvid.
Data-driven Site Content
Your Smart Website can connect to internal or external databases and populate site elements. Wix integrates only through custom mode requiring advanced technical skills.
