The plan is only the beginning

With Shopify, you choose a monthly plan and get access to a set of features. But as your business starts to grow, you may quickly realize that you need more.

You might need an advanced marketing tool, better SEO functionality, email marketing, additional analytics, a specific shipping solution, a subscription system, or another feature that is not included in your plan.

That is when the app store comes in.

You start adding apps to fill the gaps, and each app comes with its own monthly or yearly fee. What started as a simple subscription can turn into a growing collection of recurring payments.

The problem is not necessarily the starting price. The problem is that you do not always know the real cost of running your store until you start building it.

Is WooCommerce really free?

WooCommerce takes a different approach. It is open source and free to download, which makes the $0 price tag attractive when you first look at it.

But free software does not mean a free online store.

You still need hosting, and good hosting matters. If you want your store to be fast, secure, reliable, and capable of handling growth, quality hosting can come at a significant cost.

Then there are plugins.

Need a specific payment method? You may need a plugin. Need advanced shipping? Another plugin. Better SEO? Another one. Marketing tools? Another plugin.

Before long, your supposedly free store can involve hosting costs, plugin costs, maintenance, security, and other services.

And just like with Shopify, the final cost depends on what your business actually needs.

With Osimart, the cost is clear

This is where Osimart takes a different approach.

ALL-IN means exactly that.

With Osimart, you get one plan with the tools and infrastructure you need to run and grow your commerce business. Your online store, inventory, online and in person selling, analytics, marketing, SEO optimized storefront, social commerce, B2B and B2C commerce, payments, shipping, hosting, domain registration, and more are all part of the same plan.

$17 per month when billed annually.

No building your own stack of paid apps just to get the features you need. No separate hosting bill. No guessing how many additional services you will need six months from now.

You know what you are paying for from the start.

What if you want a custom storefront?

You can also choose to have Ositcom design and build your storefront for you.

But unlike recurring apps and services, these are one time payments, not additional monthly subscriptions.

You can choose the level of service that fits your business:

These storefront packages are completely optional. You can launch your store yourself with the tools included in ALL-IN, or choose a one time service if you want Ositcom's team to handle the design and setup.

Know your cost before you start

The real cost of an ecommerce platform should not be the price you see on the pricing page.

It should be the price you actually pay to run your business.

With some platforms, you start with a subscription and discover the rest as you go. With WooCommerce, you start with free software and build your own stack around it.

With Osimart, the approach is simpler.

One plan. One clear price. Everything included.

You can focus on building your store and growing your business instead of constantly calculating which app, plugin, service, or upgrade you need next.

Because when you are starting a business, knowing exactly what your technology will cost should not be another uncertainty.
