Why Shoopy
Six reasons sellers prefer Shoopy over WooCommerce.
Predictable annual cost
One bill replaces 5+ vendors and renewals. Hosting, plugins, security, support — bundled.
Managed infrastructure
Plugin updates, hosting uptime, SSL — all handled. You focus on the storefront.
Built-in GST & POS
India-ready out of the box. No GST plugin, no POS integration. Pro+ plans include both.
Live in 10 minutes
Sign up, add products, go live. No hosting setup, no DNS, no plugin compatibility.
Payments + orders, one system
WooCommerce: separate plugins, occasional reconciliation gaps. Shoopy: one connected system.
Indian-fit support model
Forums + ₹15K/mo agency retainers, or human WhatsApp support — Hindi & English — included.
Operations philosophy
Sell, don't manage infra.
"One vendor handles hosting, security, plugins, support — so you focus on the store."— Shoopy product principle
Bundled hosting, security, GST, human support
WooCommerce: full control + you handle plugin updates, SSL, hosting. Shoopy: managed infrastructure so you focus on selling.

Before you switch
Everything sellers ask about Shoopy vs WooCommerce.
WooCommerce is free — how is Shoopy cheaper?
The plugin is free. A real Indian D2C store needs hosting (₹6K–₹50K), themes, GST plugin, security (₹8K–₹12K), extensions (₹15K+), dev setup. Year-1: ₹35K–₹1.5L. Shoopy bundles all of it from ₹2,799/yr.
What does Shoopy actually charge?
Annual plan (₹0–₹13,999) plus flat ₹2-3 per order, only after threshold (50–1000 orders depending on plan). No percentage commission on revenue.
Is WooCommerce more flexible?
Yes — full code access. Shoopy trades that for being launch-ready in 10 minutes, India-ready out of the box.
Does Shoopy handle GST billing?
Yes — Pro and Business plans include GST-compliant billing & POS for offline counters. No plugin needed.
Can I migrate from WooCommerce?
Yes. Export products, customers, orders from WP, bulk import via CSV. Onboarding team helps with mapping.
What about a branded mobile app?
Android Hybrid ₹3,999/yr · iOS Hybrid ₹7,999/yr · Android Native ₹14,999/yr · iOS Native ₹24,999/yr.
Need plugin-level customisation?
Shoopy's API and theme system covers most D2C cases. For deep customisation, WooCommerce remains more open — at the TCO trade-off.
