About Shift4Shop

Shift4Shop is the hosted ecommerce platform previously known as 3dcart, rebranded after the payments company Shift4 acquired it. It packs a lot into its plans: themes, product options, built-in SEO tools, marketing features, a blog, B2B tools and integrations with marketplaces and shipping carriers, without needing many add-on apps. Its pitch is a full-featured store at a lower monthly price than rivals, especially for merchants who process payments through Shift4. The trade-offs are an admin interface that feels dated, a much smaller theme and app ecosystem than Shopify or BigCommerce, and a stronger tie to Shift4 payments for the best pricing. It suits US merchants who want many built-in features at modest cost. It runs in the browser.

Best for: US merchants who want many built-in store features at a modest price.
