Looking For A WooCommerce Alternative? We Run It Instead

The main difference is that we build and maintain a catalog your customers can actually search. A store with four thousand products and no filters is the same as a store with none, because nobody finds the right one. We build collections, tags, and filter attributes around the way your customers shop, set naming rules that survive contact with reality, and retire dead listings instead of letting them pile up.

Zoho Commerce is Zoho’s ecommerce platform for building and running an online store. It covers the storefront builder, product catalog, cart and checkout, payment gateways, shipping, and order management in one product, and it connects directly to Zoho Books, Inventory, and CRM. It is also included in Zoho One, which is why a lot of companies already own it without having launched a store on it.

We build the store and then run it. That covers theme and page setup, catalog and variant structure, payment gateways, shipping and tax rules, checkout configuration, and the connections into Books, Inventory, and CRM. After launch we handle catalog changes, promotions, monitoring, and the ongoing administration at a flat monthly rate, so the store keeps working without you hiring someone to look after it.

Yes. Zoho Commerce is part of the Zoho One suite, so if you already pay for Zoho One you can launch a store without adding another subscription. Plenty of companies pay Shopify every month while already funding Commerce inside Zoho One and never realizing it. We check what your current Zoho plan already covers before recommending you buy anything else.

Shopify has a larger app ecosystem and more third party themes. Zoho Commerce wins when the rest of your business already runs on Zoho, because orders, inventory, accounting, and customer records connect natively instead of through paid connectors. If you are on Zoho One, Commerce is also already paid for. If your store depends on a specific Shopify app with no Zoho equivalent, we will tell you that rather than talk you into a move.

Yes. We move products, variants, images, customers, and order history, then map your existing URLs to the new structure and put redirects in place before the old store goes offline. That last step is what protects the search rankings you already have, and it is the one most migrations skip. Larger migrations get scoped separately so your monthly cost stays predictable.

Yes, and this is the main reason to choose it. Orders post to Zoho Books as invoices and to Zoho Inventory as stock movements, so your storefront, your accounting, and your stock counts stay in step. We configure the mapping, including tax codes and item matching, because the default connection rarely lines up with how a real business has its chart of accounts arranged.

Yes. Customers and orders flow into CRM so your sales team sees purchase history alongside the pipeline, and Campaigns can segment on what someone actually bought rather than what they browsed. We set up the field mapping and the deduplication rules, so you do not end up with three contact records for the same buyer and a segment that double counts them.

Zoho Commerce supports the major gateways including Stripe, PayPal, and Authorize.Net, plus several regional providers, and the list available to you depends on where your business is registered. We connect the ones you want, run live test transactions, and confirm refunds work before launch. If you need a gateway Zoho does not support natively, we look at whether the API can bridge it.

Within what the platform allows, yes. We trim the fields to what you actually need, enable guest checkout, add custom fields your fulfillment process depends on, and cut the number of steps between cart and payment. Zoho Commerce does not offer unlimited checkout templating, so we will be straight with you about where the limit sits before you plan a process around it.
