Comparison with SaaS platforms

e-Store vs Shopify Standard, BigCommerce B2B

A regular WooCommerce store — with B2B features built into one plugin, no separate apps. Prices verified 2026.

e-Hurtownia Lite is simply a WooCommerce store.
Just with loyalty, abandoned carts and restock alerts built in — not bought separately.

Install the plugin on WordPress with WooCommerce — and you have a working store. You don't need to configure anything else to sell. B2B features (closed catalog, individual prices, VAT registration) can be enabled when you want — each one separately, with one toggle.

Shopify Standard does the same — but a loyalty program, restock notifications and advanced cart recovery are always separate apps there. For $49–199 per month each, from different providers, with different dashboards. In e-Hurtownia Lite you have it all built in.

One plugin. One admin panel. Zero apps. Zero risk that something stops working after an update due to two apps conflicting. And one monthly bill — for less than the cost of just the loyalty app on Shopify.

💡 Why this matters — 4 features no one bundles together

  • Loyalty is always a separate app on Shopify and BigCommerce — even with $2,300/mo for Shopify Plus you need to pay extra for Smile.io from $49/mo.
  • Back-in-stock alerts don't exist natively on Shopify or BigCommerce B2B — always a third-party app for ~$19–29/mo.
  • Sequence of 2 emails for abandoned cart + cart restore link without login — on Shopify that's Klaviyo, a separate platform with a separate subscription.
  • Progress message "Add X PLN — earn Y%" in cart — on Shopify requires Shopify Functions (developer) or a separate app.
  • e-Hurtownia Lite bundles these 4 features in one plugin — no integrations to maintain, no separate dashboards, no risk of app conflicts.
  • Shopify Standard + equivalent of Lite features = ~$216/mo. in 4 separate apps. e-Hurtownia Lite = 49 PLN/mo. for the plugin
  • Shopify Plus ($2,300/mo) and BigCommerce B2B ($1,000+/mo) have an advantage with ERP, multi-store and very large scale — beyond the reach of Polish SMB.
  • BigCommerce B2B Edition has an advantage with ERP, CPQ (from March 2025) and very large scale — beyond the reach of Polish SMB.
