Why people switch to Merzio
Three traps most SaaS platforms push you into
The base price sounds reasonable. Until you add everything you need — and you're paying double.
Paid add-ons for basic features
Shoptet Basic only includes 48 features. Loyalty programs, advanced marketing, and accounting integrations all require paid add-ons from their marketplace. Upgates works the same way — extensions costing tens of euros on top. With Merzio, all 270+ features are included.
Dependence on a developer
Want to tweak the design? Add a section? Most boxed solutions send you to an agency at €60+/hour. The Merzio Page Builder with its drag-and-drop editor lets you build your store visually — even if you don't know what HTML is.
No AI help in your admin
Product descriptions, translations, SEO copy, customer replies — you handle it all manually. Merzio has Merzio AI (Claude Sonnet 4.6) built into the admin panel, which sees your actual data and advises based on it.

Frequently asked questions
Everything people ask before they sign up
How much does it cost to rent an e-commerce platform on Merzio?
Renting an e-commerce platform on Merzio starts at €16.00/month on the Idea plan (100 products). Start-up at €32/month handles 1,000 products, Store at €52/month 5,000 products and Partner at €96/month up to 50,000 products. Annual billing saves up to 19 % — Idea works out to €13.50/month.
What's included in a Merzio e-commerce rental?
Every plan includes 270+ features at no extra cost — payment gateways (Stripe, GoPay, Comgate, Finby, Pay24, Global Payments), carriers (Packeta, GLS, DHL, PPL, Slovak/Czech Post), ERP integrations for invoicing, B2B price lists, a loyalty program, the Merzio AI assistant (Claude Sonnet 4.6), your own domain with automatic SSL, and a 14-day trial without a credit card.
Can I migrate my existing store to Merzio?
Yes. We offer two paths: the first three months for a symbolic €1, so you can test the platform risk-free, or a done-for-you migration from €899, where we manually verify the product import and shipping setup. You can also migrate yourself — free of charge.
What's the difference between renting an e-commerce platform and building one from scratch?
Renting means you pay a monthly fee for a finished platform with technical maintenance, updates, and support included. Building a custom store is a one-off agency project that takes months and costs thousands of euros. Merzio combines the best of both — a ready-to-go system with full design freedom through its own Page Builder.
How is Merzio different from Shoptet, Upgates, or Eshop-rychle?
Three things: (1) the Merzio AI assistant powered by Claude Sonnet 4.6 built right into the admin, (2) an isolated database for every store instead of shared infrastructure, (3) every feature included with no paid-add-on model. At 5,000 products, Merzio Store costs €52 while Shoptet Profi is €91 and Upgates Gold €69.
Does Merzio work for the Czech market too?
Yes. Merzio is fully localized for both the SK and CZ markets. It includes both Czech and Slovak payment gateways (GoPay, Comgate, and Global Payments for both markets), Czech and Slovak invoice formats, and supports both languages in the admin and the storefront.
Do I need a developer to launch a store on Merzio?
No. Merzio has a built-in Page Builder with a drag-and-drop editor and ready-made templates. The AI assistant helps with product descriptions and setup. Most clients launch their store in a single afternoon without any technical know-how.
Is my database separated from other stores?
Yes. Merzio uses a multi-tenant architecture with a database-per-tenant — each store has its own isolated MySQL database. That means better performance, stronger security, and zero risk of data being shared with other shops on the platform.
