The best-known hosted e-commerce platform, with its own point-of-sale app alongside the online store. Built for retail businesses that grow into staff, warehouses and multi-channel fulfilment. When Shopify is the better choice: You're running a large catalogue with staff, stock locations and complex fulfilment. You want the biggest third-party app ecosystem and someone to assemble it. You need established multi-channel retail tooling and have time to administer it. When Gwinn fits better: You're one person, and a platform you have to administer is the problem, not the solution. You want the register and the catalogue on the phone in your apron without a monthly bill for it. You'd rather photograph your notebook than fill in a product grid by hand. Your catalogue and TWINT on one screen — traditionally: One or the other: a POS app that can't take TWINT, or a TWINT app with no catalogue in it; with Gwinn: Both, on one screen — tap the photo, then choose TWINT, card or cash. What a sale costs — traditionally: Their rate, all in — and at a stall, every one of them beats ours on cards; with Gwinn: Your processor's rate, plus 0% from us in person and 1% online on Free — so take TWINT, which is on the same screen. Building the store — traditionally: A developer, weeks in a builder, or no online store at all; with Gwinn: AI drafts, writes and photographs it in an afternoon. Inventory — traditionally: Rigid grids you maintain by hand; with Gwinn: Scan your notebook; the AI keeps it. Pricing — traditionally: A monthly fee, a higher per-sale rate, or a negotiated contract; with Gwinn: Free in person. 1% online, or flat CHF 25. Your money — traditionally: Held, then paid out; with Gwinn: Straight into your own Stripe. Where your data lives — traditionally: Whichever cloud regions they use — check their sub-processor list; with Gwinn: Europe, mostly Germany — servers we rent from Hetzner.
