WiziShop
French online shop builder: page templates, SEO, blog, free pages, more than 250 apps and integrations, card payment, Stripe and PayPal, unlimited AI on every plan. Smart at €24.90 excl. VAT per month billed annually (€34.90 monthly, 2% commission), Business at €99.90 excl. VAT (€149.90 monthly, 1% commission), Enterprise from €1,300. Custom domain name not included; 7-day trial.
A small custom shop is feasible, but you take on card payment, VAT, shipping, returns and the legal notices of distance selling yourself. WiziShop's price is not high for a small catalogue: the commission applies to the VAT-inclusive amount, shipping included, which weighs on larger volumes. Custom makes sense mostly if your sale has a particularity (booking, rental, configured product) that standard shops handle badly.
What you lose
- Built-in page templates, SEO and blog.
- Card payment, Stripe and PayPal already connected.
- The 250 apps and integrations.
- Support from the vendor in French.

What a home-built tool costs once it exists
- Hosting and database: a server cost, and automatic backups you actually test.
- Security and GDPR: dependency updates, an HTTPS certificate, protection of your customers’ data.
- Upkeep time: who fixes the tool on a Saturday night in the middle of service if the server goes down?
The prompt to build it yourself

To do: - A catalogue with photos, variants and stock. - A cart and a 3-step checkout: address, delivery, payment. - Payment through Stripe Checkout (keys in .env), confirmation by webhook and an order email. - A back-office: orders, shipments, tracking number, refunds. - The mandatory pages: legal notice, terms of sale, privacy policy, right of withdrawal. - Content pages and a Markdown blog for SEO. Out of scope: multi-country VAT, marketplace, third-party apps. Stack: Next.js, PostgreSQL. README: how to run, backup and updating dependencies.
