Square vs Shopify:
Don't Let Your Store Get Stuck
Square works when you're starting out.
It quietly limits you once you're growing.
If you're still running Square POS + ecommerce, you're likely paying for it in ways that don't show up on a single invoice.
Book a Migration Chat With UsThe Hidden Cost of Staying on Square
As online sales grow, Square starts to feel heavy:
Per-transaction fees that punish small tickets
Square charges 2.6% + $0.15 on every sale. That fixed fee adds up fast.
A generic store experience
yoursite.square.site URLs and limited customization hurt trust and conversion.
Online selling that hits a ceiling
Basic ecommerce works—until you want better marketing, better checkout, or more channels.
Limited growth paths
Expanding into Google, TikTok, marketplaces, or advanced email requires workarounds or compromises.
Why Growing Stores Move to Shopify
Shopify isn't a patchwork of tools.
It's one system designed for modern ecommerce.
Lower Fees That Scale With You
Square: 2.6% + $0.15 per transaction
Shopify: 2.4% flat (no fixed fee)
For stores with frequent sub-$20 orders, Shopify often saves $100–$300+ per month in processing fees alone.
Checkout That Converts
Shopify's checkout (Shop Pay) is widely recognized as the highest-converting checkout on the internet.
Faster checkout = fewer abandoned carts = more revenue from the same traffic.
Built-In Marketing (No Tool Stack Required)
Shopify includes:
- Email marketing (replace Mailchimp)
- Abandoned cart recovery
- SEO tools that update as Google changes
- Native integrations with Google, Instagram, TikTok, and more
AI That Actually Helps
Shopify's AI features are built into the platform—not bolted on.
Use simple prompts to:
- Write product descriptions and emails
- Improve SEO
- Generate images
- Make site changes directly in your dashboard
This works because Shopify controls the full ecommerce stack.
Room to Grow Without Replatforming Again
Shopify supports:
- Global selling
- Marketplaces
- Social commerce
- Advanced analytics
- Custom workflows when you need them
