Why a Shopify alternative from Switzerland?
Shopify is a strong platform – but it's built for the US market. Swiss merchants quickly hit limits: payments like TWINT or PostFinance Pay are only available through third-party apps, billing is often in US dollars, and if you don't use Shopify Payments, additional transaction fees apply. On top of that, your data sits on US infrastructure.
saldiaShop turns that around: the shop is built for Switzerland from the ground up. Swiss payments via saldiaPay, prices in CHF, hosting under revDSG and support in German – all from one source, without having to patch together Swiss readiness with expensive apps.
- Built for the Swiss market, not retrofitted
- Swiss payments, currency and data protection from the start
- No penalty fee for your preferred payment provider
- One point of contact instead of an app jungle
Swiss payments via saldiaPay – ready to sell from day one
An online shop is only as good as its checkout. In saldiaShop all payments run through saldiaPay: TWINT, credit cards, PostFinance Pay and QR-bill, billed in CHF. You don't need to wire up external payment providers or juggle several contracts.
With Shopify you pay an additional transaction fee as soon as you don't use Shopify Payments – and Shopify Payments doesn't fully cover the key Swiss payment methods anyway. With saldiaShop you sell from the start with exactly the payment methods your customers in Switzerland expect.
