In their own words
Spwig
Spwig is an open-source e-commerce platform for running an online store and managing its operations. It supports eight product types, including digital, bundle, customizable, booking, and gift card products. Store tools cover order workflows, inventory across multiple locations, customer profiles, point of sale, analytics, and report exports. Marketing features include SEO metadata, coupons, loyalty points, referral rewards, affiliate commissions, email campaigns, and automated notifications. Listed payment connections include Stripe, PayPal, Square, and Revolut; shipping providers include FedEx, UPS, and USPS. The platform offers a RESTful API, event-driven webhooks, and a developer portal for publishing themes and integrations. Merchants can self-host for free on their own infrastructure or use managed hosting. Point of sale is included at no cost in every install and runs on a tablet or browser. Self-hosted Community has no usage caps. Hosted Starter costs €35.00 per month billed annually and allows 1,000 products, three staff accounts, 25GB of media storage, and 3,000 emails per month. Spwig is based in Singapore and says it charges no transaction fee.
WooCommerce
WooCommerce is free, self-hosted software for running an online store with omnichannel sales channels. Its core plan costs nothing, billed free with no monthly subscription. The plan lists unlimited products, unlimited orders, and unlimited APIs, allowing catalog and order volume without those stated caps. WooCommerce supports digital products as well as general online-store sales, includes abandoned-cart recovery, and provides an app marketplace. The listed transaction fee is payment-only. Because the hosting model is self-hosted, the store runs on hosting managed by the user rather than a hosted WooCommerce environment. WooCommerce is made by WooCommerce, founded in 2005 and headquartered in San Francisco, California, USA. The combination of omnichannel selling, digital-product support, recovery tools, and extensible apps gives store operators a broad core setup without a subscription charge. Hosting management remains part of choosing this model.
