The maintenance-free WooCommerce alternative from Switzerland
WooCommerce is a WordPress plugin: you maintain WordPress, plugins and security updates yourself, and you have to arrange hosting separately. saldiaShop turns that around. Hosting in Switzerland, updates and backups are included and run in the background. Swiss payments via saldiaPay, prices in CHF and local support – all from a single source, with no server or plugin management of your own.
Why saldiaShop instead of WooCommerce?
An online shop that takes the tech off your plate – hosting, maintenance, Swiss payments and support included.
Hosting in Switzerland included
Your shop runs on Swiss servers under revDSG – included in the price. With WooCommerce you have to find, pay for and secure hosting separately. With us it's there from day one.
Swiss payments via saldiaPay
TWINT, credit cards, PostFinance Pay and QR-bill run through saldiaPay, billed in CHF. Exactly the payment methods your Swiss customers expect – without wiring up individual plugins for each one.
Over 50 apps in the Marketplace
Shipping, accounting, marketing, ERP links like bexio or marketplaces like Galaxus: extend your shop from the saldia Marketplace – no coding and no plugin sprawl.
Multilingual for Switzerland
Sell in German, French and Italian – geared to Switzerland out of the box. With WooCommerce this often needs extra plugins that you have to maintain and keep in sync yourself.
Easy migration from WooCommerce
Switching from WooCommerce, Shopify or another platform? We support you in importing products and data so the move runs smoothly.

Why a WooCommerce alternative from Switzerland?
WooCommerce is popular because it's flexible – but it's a WordPress plugin, not a finished shop. That means: you find and pay for hosting yourself, keep WordPress, your theme and every plugin up to date, and you're responsible for security updates and backups. Every overlooked gap is your risk, and every update can break a plugin.
saldiaShop takes that tech off your plate. Hosting in Switzerland, updates, security and backups are included and run in the background. You focus on your business, we handle operations – with Swiss payments, prices in CHF and support in German.
- A finished platform instead of a WordPress plugin to assemble
- No server, plugin or update management of your own
- Hosting, security and backups included
- One point of contact instead of a plugin jungle
Run it maintenance-free – no WordPress to maintain yourself
With WooCommerce you're both merchant and administrator: keeping WordPress current, aligning plugin versions and checking after each update whether the checkout still works. That costs time – or money for an agency to do it for you.
With saldiaShop that effort disappears. Updates, security and backups run in the background, your shop stays stable and secure without you touching a line of code or maintaining a server. That leaves more time for selling.
- Updates and security patches in the background
- Automatic backups, no data-loss risk
- No plugin conflict after every update
- No server know-how required
Swiss payments, hosting and support – all from one source
In saldiaShop all payments run through saldiaPay: TWINT, credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex), PostFinance Pay and QR-bill, billed in CHF. With WooCommerce you have to find, install and keep individual gateways up to date yourself.
On top of that, your shop and customer data sit on Swiss servers under revDSG, and when you have questions you reach real support in German, from Switzerland. With over 50 apps in the saldia Marketplace – from shipping and accounting to the bexio link – you extend your shop exactly where you need it.
- TWINT, credit cards, PostFinance Pay and QR-bill via saldiaPay
- Shop and data on Swiss servers under revDSG
- Support in German, from Switzerland
- Over 50 apps in the Marketplace, incl. bexio and Galaxus
Frequently asked questions
