1D2C vs Shopify
Shopify gives you a web store and an app store. 1D2C gives you a branded shopping app, a seller app, a delivery app and the operations behind them — in one plan, with no cut of your revenue.
Where the two platforms actually differ
Both will sell a product online. The gap shows up the moment you need apps, sellers, riders or bookings.
Three native apps
Buyer, seller and delivery-partner apps — all white-labelled under your brand, on iOS and Android.
A real marketplace
Onboard unlimited sellers, give each one their own app, and set pricing per seller.
0% per transaction
You keep the full order value. No revenue share, no penalty for using your own payment gateway.
Nothing extra to buy
Premium themes, plugins, WhatsApp and ads integrations are part of the plan, not add-ons.
The full comparison
Everything below is standard on 1D2C. On Shopify, most of it is an app you install, a plan you upgrade to, or something you build yourself.
