Leaving Shoprocket?
ByteSell takes 0% on every plan, and your buyers pay straight into your own Stripe, PayPal or crypto wallet.
Get startedEvery Shoprocket plan is 0%, its homepage says it does not touch your money and never takes a cut, and one line of code puts a working cart into a site you already run.
The reason people go looking is the tier ladder. Starter at $29 a month cannot sell a subscription, connect your own domain or reach the API, because all three begin at Business, $79.
The 10 best Shoprocket alternatives for selling from your own site
ByteSellOur pick
Agrees with Shoprocket about the money and disagrees about the ladder. Recurring products, the API, webhooks and gated Discord or Telegram access are all on the plan that costs nothing, and a domain of your own arrives at $29 rather than $79. Payment still settles into an account you own.
Pros
- Recurring products, the API and webhooks are all on the free plan
- A custom domain and unbranded store arrive at $29 rather than $79
- Discord and Telegram access opens on payment and closes when a plan lapses
- Zero per sale on every tier, into your own Stripe, PayPal or wallet
Cons
- The free plan allows one API key, two webhook endpoints and three discount rules
- It also holds 500 MB in total and refuses any file above 50 MB
- Removing ByteSell branding waits for Pro, where Shoprocket allows it at entry
- Licence keys are a pool of pre-uploaded strings with no activation API
Shoprocket would take, in a year
$348and ByteSell would take none of it
On a $50 product selling 50 times a month, on its $29 a month plan. ByteSell is 0% on every plan including the free one, and the buyer pays your own Stripe, PayPal or wallet, so nothing is held in the middle.
Free plan, no card, keep every cent of every sale.
Get startedSendOwl
The nearest thing to a straight swap for an embed-first workflow, since it is a checkout tool rather than a destination. No percentage, no held funds, and the whole feature set on the cheapest tier. What it prices is volume: Launch is $39 for 5,000 orders and $10,000 of sales.
Pros
- Zero percent on all three plans, with funds never entering a SendOwl balance
- Subscriptions and affiliates are on the $39 entry plan, not gated above it
- Chargebacks cost nothing beyond withdrawing the buyer’s download access
- Only volume, bandwidth and support differ between the tiers
Cons
- Launch stops at 5,000 orders and $10,000 of sales across a rolling year
- Passing either limit upgrades the account automatically rather than warning first
- Bandwidth beyond the allowance is billed at a dollar per gigabyte
- Crypto is not offered, so payment runs through Stripe or PayPal
Payhip
Removes the monthly commitment entirely and takes a share of revenue instead, at 5% free, 2% at $29 and nothing at $99. Embeds, a custom domain and branding removal all sit on the free plan. Its processor list is the weak point beside what you have now.
Pros
- The free plan includes embeds, a custom domain and branding removal
- Unlimited products and unlimited revenue with no ceiling to watch
- US sales tax and EU VAT are collected and remitted on your behalf
- Sales deposit straight into your own processor after each transaction
Cons
- Five percent per sale free, 2% at $29, and zero only at $99
- Thirteen processors are supported but usually PayPal plus one more at a time
- No annual price is published, so prepaying saves nothing
E-junkie
A copy-and-paste button for any site, and the lowest price anywhere on this list, beginning at $8 for ten products with 200 MB behind them. Recurring payments are impossible on the system by its own account, so the very feature that pushed you off Starter is absent.
Pros
- Eight dollars a month, the lowest entry price on this list
- No cut on any plan, with money going to your own connected account
- Six processors are supported, including Braintree and Razorpay
- A fourteen day trial that needs no card details
Cons
- Recurring payments are impossible on the system, by E-junkie’s own statement
- The $8 plan holds 200 MB and ten products
- The hosted shop runs on a numbered e-junkie.com address
- No annual pricing exists to bring the monthly figure down
Sellfy
More of a destination than an embed, though it does offer one, and it sells printed merchandise alongside digital goods. Nothing is taken per sale, and payment reaches Stripe or PayPal immediately. Starter is $39 with a $10,000 annual sales ceiling, past which every order costs 2%.
Pros
- No transaction fee on Starter, Business or Premium
- Printed goods and digital files share one storefront
- Payments reach your Stripe or PayPal the instant a sale completes
- Sellfy states the seller is merchant of record, not Sellfy
Cons
- Starter is $39 and permits $10,000 of sales across a rolling twelve months
- Beyond that, 2% applies to every order until the account upgrades
- The affiliate program is held back for the $79 Business plan
- Stripe and PayPal are the only two processors on offer
Lemon Squeezy
The pick if selling software abroad is what you actually do, because it stands as merchant of record and settles tax in every market. Its licensing API is the real thing, with activation limits and expiry. It takes 5% and 50 cents of the order total including tax.
Pros
- Merchant of record everywhere, which removes VAT filing entirely
- No monthly plan, so the cost is purely a share of what sells
- Licensing endpoints for activate, validate and deactivate with expiry
- Its overlay checkout embeds into a page you already publish
Cons
- Five percent plus 50 cents, calculated on the order total including tax
- Thirteen day hold, twice monthly payouts and a $50 minimum
- Buyers in eighteen listed countries are unable to pay
- Stripe, its owner, now points new signups to Stripe Managed Payments
SellAuth
The cheapest paid route to a zero percent store, at $9.99, with an embeddable checkout and API access on every tier including the free one. Its limit is what it will hand over: 10 MB on the free plan and 100 MB on either paid plan, permanently.
Pros
- Zero on every plan, with the cheapest paid tier at $9.99
- API access and an embeddable checkout on the free plan too
- The paid tiers block VPN, Tor and traffic by country or ASN
- Scale at $29.99 carries a reseller panel and fifty team members
Cons
- One hundred megabytes is the largest file any paid plan will send
- The free plan drops that to 10 MB and fifty products
- Both paid plans show a monthly price next to the words one-time payment
- The pricing page names no payout terms and no merchant of record
SellAppA different shape of business, aimed at accounts, keys and paid community access rather than at a cart in a marketing site. It charges nothing up front and 3% per sale, invoiced monthly in arrears, and covers the Discord and Telegram gating Shoprocket does not document.
Pros
- Nothing due up front, with the 3% billed the following month
- Native gating for Discord, Telegram, Slack and WhatsApp
- Recurring charges for premium content and gated access
- Buyers pay into your own gateway, crypto included
Cons
- Three percent of every sale until you reach the $199.99 plan
- That is the only way to get to zero, since nothing else is gated
- Fees paid are non-refundable and accounts may be terminated without cause
Selly
Non-custodial down to the crypto, where addresses are derived from your own public key rather than held for you, with an embedded checkout pop-up. Starter is $19.99 and comes with about $800 of fee-free revenue a month, after which sales of $9.99 or more carry 2.5%.
Pros
- Payment addresses derive from your own public key, keys never held by Selly
- An embedded product checkout popup for a site you already have
- Sales priced under $9.99 carry no Selly charge whatsoever
- Annual billing brings Starter to $199.99 for the year
Cons
- Two and a half percent applies to sales of $9.99 or more past the allowance
- The rate is charged on top of the $19.99 or $59.99 plan
- No free trial exists, and refunds close once one order has come through
Gumroad
The outlier, because Gumroad takes the payment itself and pays you out of a balance it controls. That means a seven day wait and a hundred dollar floor, and a tenth of each sale plus fifty cents. In return, a checkout buyers recognise and a marketplace of its own.
Pros
- Nothing monthly, so a slow month costs nothing at all
- Gumroad is merchant of record, with sales tax remitted on your behalf
- The Discover marketplace can bring buyers you did not have
- Buyer email addresses export as CSV from the dashboard
Cons
- Ten percent and 50 cents from each sale, whatever the volume
- A seven day hold sits on every sale before payout is possible
- Payouts require a $100 balance, higher in some countries
- Sales arriving through Discover are charged at 30% instead
Every price above is computed from that platform's own published rates on its entry plan, which is the plan almost everyone is actually on. Where a charge applies only in certain cases, an international card or a payout, the row says so rather than adding it to the headline rate.
