How it worksShopify vs Morro

Everything Shopify Charges Extra For — Included

Shopify gets you a storefront. Then the bill grows: transaction fees, an app for reviews, an app for email, an app for support, a premium theme. Morro is one flat subscription with an AI workforce built in.

Tired of the Shopify app bill?

Most merchants don't leave Shopify because of the base plan — they leave because of everything bolted on top: transaction fees, $200–$500/month in apps, premium themes, and a separate helpdesk. Morro folds storefront, AI agents, CRM, loyalty, inventory, and support into a single flat subscription with 0% platform fees, so your costs stop scaling with every new feature you need.

One Subscription vs. The Shopify App-Store Tax

The App-Store Tax

Shopify's base plan is deceptively cheap. A real store quickly needs Klaviyo for email, Judge.me for reviews, a bundles app, an upsell app, and a support helpdesk — each its own monthly subscription. Merchants routinely spend $200–$500/month on apps alone. Morro includes CRM, loyalty, reviews, and support natively, so your bill stays flat and predictable.

Keep Your Transaction Fees

Unless you use Shopify Payments, Shopify charges an extra 0.5%–2% on every single order on top of your processor's fees. On serious volume that's thousands of dollars a year handed back to the platform. Morro charges 0% platform fee — connect your own Stripe or PayPal and keep every cent of your margin.

An AI Team, Not Just an Editor

Shopify Magic writes a product description if you ask it to. Morro gives you eight specialized agents that actually run the work — importing your catalog, syncing stock, answering customers on WhatsApp, drafting campaigns, and flagging VIP dropoffs — autonomously, in the background, with no extra per-seat cost.

Your Dedicated AI Workforce

Morro is not just a passive website builder. You get specialized AI agents working actively in the background to grow your business.
