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 Zolto fits better: You're one person, and a platform you have to administer is the problem, not the solution. You want the till 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 on your phone — traditionally: Part of a paid tier, or a separate product entirely; with Zolto: Photos, names & prices — CHF 0/month, no clock on it. Card reader — traditionally: Sold to you, CHF 50–300+; with Zolto: Your phone — NFC tap & TWINT QR. Building the store — traditionally: A developer, or weeks in Shopify; with Zolto: AI drafts it in an afternoon. Inventory — traditionally: Rigid grids you maintain by hand; with Zolto: Scan your notebook; the AI keeps it. Pricing — traditionally: Opaque tiers, surprise fees; with Zolto: Free in person. 1% online, or flat CHF 25. Your money — traditionally: Held, then paid out; with Zolto: Straight into your own Stripe.
