How this list is ordered. Specifiction scores each tool on how fully its maker documents it, whether its prices are published, where the research puts it, the platforms it runs on and whether it can be tried for free (how we rank). Makers can also buy a numbered place (how Specifiction is paid for).

Transaction fees are another cost detail to consider. Big Cartel, BigCommerce, and Wix eCommerce are among the platforms shown. Think through what you plan to sell and where, then compare the listed operational and pricing details with the way you expect to run your shop.
