ShopifyInnov Agence

One platform. Store, site, CRM, email, newsletters, automations — all included.

Why merchants look for a Shopify alternative

Shopify is a giant of e-commerce. Here's what Quebec merchants tell us when they go looking elsewhere.

The monthly bill creeps up

Subscription, paid apps for reviews, bundles or SEO, premium themes — and depending on your payment setup, transaction fees can apply on top.

An app for everything

Many essential features live in the app store, each with its own subscription, settings and support. You end up managing a stack, not a store.

You're your own integrator

Setting up the theme, structuring collections, wiring apps together: it's a project you manage yourself, with online help as your main resource.

Shopify vs Innov Agence, honestly

Two different models. Here's how they actually compare for a Quebec business.

Who builds your store
Shopify: You do, from a theme with Shopify's AI tools — or you hire an expert separately
Innov Agence: A human team + AI that hands you a finished store — in as little as 48 h
Design
Shopify: Free or premium themes, shared with thousands of other stores
Innov Agence: Custom design, coded for your brand — no theme in common with anyone
Fees on your sales
Shopify: Depending on plan and payment provider, additional transaction fees may apply
Innov Agence: No platform fees added by Innov Agence — only your payment processor's standard rate (e.g. Stripe)
CRM, email, newsletters, automations
Shopify: Mostly through third-party apps, each with its own cost
Innov Agence: Built into the platform, included in your plan
Support
Shopify: Online help center and support channels
Innov Agence: A human in Quebec, in French or English — ~15 min average response
Your data
Shopify: Hosted on the vendor's global infrastructure
Innov Agence: Hosted in Quebec, Law 25 compliant
Pricing model
Shopify: Monthly subscription plus apps and theme, per store (see Shopify's official pricing)
Innov Agence: $750 once, then $55/month — store, site, hosting and all business tools included

Qualitative comparison based on the vendor's publicly available features and pricing model as of July 2026. Third-party offerings change: always verify with the vendor.

Shopify alternative — your questions

Yes. We migrate your products, images, descriptions, categories and domain, and we set up 301 redirects so your Google rankings follow. Your current store keeps selling until the new one is live.

Innov Agence adds no platform fees on your sales. The only per-sale cost is your payment processor's standard rate (for example Stripe), which applies with any e-commerce solution.

Your store is wired to Stripe under your own account: the money from your sales goes directly to you. Cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay are supported out of the box.

Yes. The admin panel lets you add and edit products, prices, photos, categories and inventory — and the CRM shows you who buys what, so your marketing gets smarter.

One number: $750 once, then $55/month. That covers the store, the site, hosting, CRM, email, newsletters and automations — tools that are usually a per-app monthly line item. A complex catalog is quoted for free.

No. Innov Agence is an independent Quebec company. Shopify is named here only so you can compare both approaches and pick what fits your store.

Your store, without the app stack.

Describe what you sell — our AI starts building right away, and our team takes it from there.
