FlexiCommerce vs The Rest

Shopify is the world's most popular ecommerce platform, but it is expensive for Nigerian businesses. The Basic plan costs $39/month (~₦25,000/month recurring), plus premium themes at ₦150,000+, paid apps at ₦30,000-300,000/month, and a 2% platform transaction fee on top of payment gateway fees. There is no native mobile app — you need third-party solutions. Shopify also lacks deep Nigeria payment integration like Flutterwave, OPay, and PalmPay. FlexiCommerce gives you everything from ₦14,999/month + affordable hosting — 3 mobile apps, 5 themes, 500+ features, Flutterwave + OPay built-in, and 0% commission.

Paystack Commerce is a Nigeria-based ecommerce builder that offers basic online store functionality with monthly recurring plans starting at ~₦15,000/month. While it is locally focused, it provides limited features compared to a full-featured platform. There are no mobile apps, no gamification features, no loyalty system, and limited customization options. If you want advanced features like video commerce, real-time chat, multi-vendor support, and native mobile apps, Paystack Commerce cannot deliver that. FlexiCommerce gives you a full independent ecommerce store with 500+ features, 3 mobile apps, and complete ownership of your customer relationships — from just ₦14,999/month + hosting.

WooCommerce is a free WordPress plugin, but "free" is only the plugin cost. You need hosting at ₦15,000-50,000/month, a premium theme at ₦75,000-250,000, paid plugins at ₦200,000-1,000,000, and a developer at ₦50,000-150,000/month for maintenance. Mobile app development costs ₦2,000,000-5,000,000 separately. Plus you handle all security, updates, and server management yourself. Nigerian payment gateways like Flutterwave and OPay require additional plugin setup. FlexiCommerce is fully managed — we handle everything, and your store is live in 20 minutes.
