Who SmithShop is for

  • Small merchants who want control of their ecommerce software and hosting.
  • Web developers building practical stores for clients without a heavy plugin stack.
  • WooCommerce, CS-Cart, Shopify, Wix, BigCommerce, Magento, OpenCart, or PrestaShop users who want a leaner self-hosted path.

Who SmithShop is not for

  • Merchants who want a fully hosted platform where another company controls hosting and server setup.
  • Stores that need marketplace-scale custom development on day one.
  • Anyone who does not want to manage hosting, PHP, MariaDB/MySQL, backups, and credentials.

Core features, stated plainly

  • Products, categories, images, variants, options, digital downloads, and customer accounts.
  • Stripe, PayPal, Square, Authorize.Net, manual payments, taxes, shipping, freight, and ShipStation workflows.
  • Browser updates with backups, signed releases, modified-file warnings, and emergency restore.
  • SEO checks, social product feeds, Google tools, abandoned carts, Mailchimp, analytics, and migration importer add-ons.

Pricing and licensing

SmithShop license: $89.99 for one store license. Paid add-ons are optional and priced separately, so merchants can keep the core store lean and only add the tools they actually need.

Available, beta, and planned

Available and tested: catalog, cart, checkout, Stripe, PayPal, Square, Authorize.Net hosted card form, updates, restore, CMS pages, SEO checks, Advanced Importer, AI assistant, and common shipping tools.

Beta: subscription automation, abandoned cart automation, and AI-assisted drafting should be reviewed by the merchant before relying on them.

Planned: deeper carrier label creation and any provider workflow that still depends on future API work.

Move from a heavier platform

Advanced Importer helps move product catalogs, product images, variants, options, customer accounts, and historical orders from common ecommerce CSV exports. Passwords are not imported; customers use SmithShop password reset or create a new password.

Hosting requirements

SmithShop is a self-hosted PHP ecommerce app for Apache or Nginx, PHP-FPM, and MariaDB/MySQL. It is best for merchants or developers comfortable with hosting, file permissions, environment credentials, and backups.

Built for confident inspection

Try the live demo, review the documentation, inspect the admin tools, and test the download package before choosing SmithShop for a production store.

Clear store ownership

SmithShop is built for merchants who want direct control of their store files, product data, customer records, backups, credentials, updates, and restore path.
