A Shopify alternative built for small brands

Shopify is a great product, and it is the default choice. But many small brands pay for features they never use, then add paid apps for the ones they need. Here is what Yaliko does differently, and where Shopify is still the better fit.

Included from day one

What usually takes an app elsewhere is part of the Yaliko plan:

  • An assistant that answers customers on WhatsApp and in your store
  • Abandoned cart emails and review requests after delivery
  • Discount codes, gift cards and customer accounts
  • Profit per product and per order
  • Terms, privacy and returns pages created when you open the store

No fee on your sales

Yaliko takes no percentage of your revenue, whichever way your customers pay. You pay your plan, and Stripe's own fees on card payments.

Built around WhatsApp

Many customers would rather send a message than fill in a form. Yaliko answers on WhatsApp for you, at night and on weekends, using your products, prices and delivery times, and hands the conversation to you when it should.

Where Shopify is better

Shopify has a huge app store, thousands of themes, and tools for very large stores. If you ship thousands of orders a day or sell in ten countries at once, it remains a solid choice. Yaliko is for brands that are starting or growing and want one complete tool without assembling it.

Switching over

Import your products from a CSV file. Keep your domain name: you connect it to Yaliko from the settings, following the steps shown there.
