- A free plan for restaurants, retail and services; paid plans from $29/mo with subscriptions, loyalty and automations included.
What's included
Everything a ecommerce business runs on, in one system.
Shopify is the default for ecom, but locks operators into per-app fees and doesn't ship multi-vertical or AI. Vertex matches the ecom surface and adds both.
AI storefront generation
Paste a Shopify URL and get a Vertex storefront in about 90 seconds.
Multi-vertical support
Restaurant + retail + ecom + services + dispensary all in one stack. Shopify is ecom-only.
OAuth 2.0 API + apps
Same public API surface. App marketplace at /apps with one-click install.
Stripe Connect direct
Funds settle to your Stripe account. No 0.5-2% Shopify Payments tax.

Is migration from Shopify hard?
Products + customers + orders import via CSV. Themes are regenerated by the AI builder from your existing URL. Most stores migrate in a day.
Do I lose anything by leaving Shopify?
You lose access to the Shopify-specific app marketplace, the Shop Pay network, and a few niche enterprise features. For 90% of merchants the trade is net-positive.
What about Shopify Payments transaction fees?
Vertex uses Stripe Connect directly — you pay only Stripe's pass-through rate (typically 2.9% + 30¢ in US), no platform markup.
