Built for selling online, not just at the counter.
Square is brilliant at in-person payments, and Square Online is the website that comes along with it, tied to Square's own processing and ecosystem. If online is your main channel, Shoprocket is online-first: embed into any site, bring your own payment gateway, and pay 0% platform fees.
Square Online rides on Square's rails.
Square Online is a capable website builder, but it exists to feed Square's payment processing: you use Square Payments, inside Square's ecosystem, on Square's terms. Great if you're a cafe with a card reader. Limiting if the web is your storefront and you want your own gateway and your own site.
Online-first, and not locked in.
Your own gateway, not just Square.
Connect Stripe, PayPal, Authorize.Net, or crypto, your own accounts, rather than being routed through a single mandatory processor.
Embed into any site.
Drop a cart and checkout into WordPress, Webflow, Framer, Ghost, or a static site. You're not confined to one builder's storefront.
0% platform fees.
A flat monthly plan with no cut of your sales. Your payment processor's standard rate is the only per-order cost.
Built for digital and recurring too.
Digital downloads, subscriptions, licence keys, and gift cards alongside physical goods, in one online-first store.
One ecosystem, one processor, one way out.
When the website, the checkout, and the payments are all one company's, leaving means rebuilding all three at once. Shoprocket keeps them separable: your site is yours, your gateway is yours, and the commerce layer moves with you if you ever change either.

- ✓Embed into any site, or host on your own domain
