Alternatives to Shopify
Other Ecommerce platforms vendors we measure, sorted by how much they publish that Shopify does not. This is a comparison of disclosure, not of features or fitness.
12 shown of 23 that differ from Shopify on at least one criterion we measured for both. Public transparency score, not a product or security rating.
Shopify has 2 gaps in what we could measure: Subprocessor list, Uptime SLA with a figure. The column “publishes and Shopify does not” is the one that closes them.

Only criteria we could measure for both are counted. Where we could measure one and not the other, the row is silent: that would be a statement about our measurement, not about either vendor. Every single result with its source is on the two profiles.
