Why SellKit
Everything a UK seller needs.
Nothing they don't.
Built for sellers who want to focus on selling — not on managing a stack of apps.
One price, all features
SEO, blog, marketing tools, and analytics are included from day one. No app store. No add-ons. No surprises at the end of the month.
Built-in attribution
Know exactly where your sales come from — which ad, which post, which keyword. Most platforms charge £20+/month for this. It's included.
Free training included
7 full courses on dropshipping, paid ads, Instagram, copywriting, and funnels. Available in your dashboard from day one, free for every user.
No transaction fees
Every £ you earn stays yours. Shopify charges up to 2% on every sale unless you use their payment system. SellKit charges zero.
SEO ready from launch
Clean URLs, meta tags, sitemap, structured data — all configured automatically. Rank on Google without needing a separate SEO app.
Owned by you, not the platform
Your store, your data, your domain. No platform lock-in. If you ever leave, you take everything with you.
Common Questions
What UK sellers ask before switching
What is the cheapest Shopify alternative in the UK?
SellKit is the cheapest all-inclusive option at £8.49/month (€9.99). Unlike Shopify, which starts at £19/month before you add essential apps, SellKit includes SEO tools, a blog, marketing automation, and sales analytics in one flat price. No hidden costs.
Does SellKit work for UK-based sellers?
Yes. SellKit works with all major UK payment methods and has no geographic restrictions. You can sell to customers in the UK, EU, or internationally from the same store.
What does Shopify really cost in the UK?
Shopify Basic is £19/month, but that's before apps. Most sellers need at minimum an SEO app (£10–30), an email marketing tool (£10–40), and a reviews app (£10–20). The real monthly cost is typically £35–60 before you've sold a single product. And if you use a payment gateway other than Shopify Payments, add 2% transaction fees on every sale.
Is WooCommerce actually free?
WooCommerce the plugin is free, but running it isn't. You need web hosting (£5–15/month), an SSL certificate, security updates, and WooCommerce extensions for payments, SEO, and email. Most UK sellers pay £20–40/month total, plus hours of technical maintenance. SellKit is managed — you focus on selling.
Can I switch from Shopify to SellKit?
Yes. You can export your Shopify products and import them into SellKit. The process takes a few hours, not days. Most sellers complete the switch in a weekend and start saving from their next billing cycle.
Shopify charges £19/month — before apps.
SellKit charges £8.49/month — for everything.
