If you're paying $39 to Shopify plus $300+ in apps to get subscriptions, customer accounts, and email automation — Standalone has all of it built in for $149/month. Here's the math.
The Shopify ecosystem is genuinely good. The pricing model is the problem — every feature beyond the basics is an app, and the apps add up. Standalone bundles the equivalents:
Plus all the storefront basics (catalog, checkout, search, SEO) which Shopify provides too — we just don't charge you twice for it.
Migrating off Shopify is intentional, not chaotic. Most shops do it over 5-7 business days:
We export your full product catalog (titles, descriptions, variants, SKUs, prices) from Shopify Admin into the format Square needs. We built a self-service tool that does the heavy lifting in 30 seconds — Adam reviews and cleans up edge cases.
If you're not already on Square POS, we help you set up. Catalog gets imported into Square. You verify the data; we fix anything that didn't translate cleanly.
Existing Shopify customers (with their addresses, past orders) imported into Square. Active Recharge / Bold subscribers can either stay on a parallel track during transition or migrate fresh — your choice.
Domain points at Standalone. Shopify subscription canceled. You're off Shopify and live on Standalone before anyone notices.
