Read this page as one judge. Each weighs the same scores by what they care about.

The Skeptic

Weighted verdict

Knows the headline price is never the invoice here. Reads for the transaction fee, the apps that turn out to be mandatory, the hosting nobody mentioned, and what the platform charges to let a merchant leave with their own order history.

Same scores as the panel view — this lens weights them the way this judge cares.

Catalogue & checkout

How this is scored

Products, variants, pricing rules and the path to payment — the part that either converts or does not.

0 — Flat product list with one price and no variants; checkout is a form and one payment method.

3 — Variants and categories with a standard checkout and two or three payment methods, but no bundles, no tiered pricing and no guest checkout worth the name.

5 — Full variant matrix, product bundles, tiered and customer-group pricing, guest checkout, and the payment methods a German shop needs including invoice and direct debit.

8 — Configurable products, per-channel pricing, promotions and vouchers with rules, a checkout that can be customised without a rebuild, and payment via the major providers plus buy-now-pay-later where offered.

10 — Merchandising and checkout are the product: rule-driven pricing and promotions, A/B-testable checkout, multi-currency and multi-language as standard, and conversion features (abandoned cart, one-page checkout) shipped rather than bolted on.

Report an error

The Skeptic

The page names customizable design themes, an applications-and-integrations section and a B2B webshop, and that is the whole of it. We found no public information on variants, bundles, tiered pricing, guest checkout, or which payment methods the checkout actually supports. 1

Extensibility & developer surface

How this is scored

Themes, apps, APIs and headless — whether the shop can be shaped to the business, and at what cost in lock-in.

0 — Fixed templates, no app ecosystem, no API.

3 — Theme editing within limits and a small app store; a read-mostly API and no local development story.

5 — Custom themes with a template language, an app or plugin ecosystem, a documented REST API, and webhooks for the core order events.

8 — Full storefront API for headless builds, an extension framework with its own lifecycle, staging environments, version control for themes, and documented rate limits.

10 — A platform a team can own: headless-first APIs, open-source or source-available core, plugin architecture with a real dependency model, local development and CI supported, and upgrade paths that do not orphan customisations.

Report an error

The Skeptic

There is a documented API (an API documentation link plus a customer citing API use for their franchise network), an applications/integrations catalogue, and customizable themes — that combination earns a modest mark. We found no public information on webhooks, a headless storefront API, staging environments, or local development. 1

Order operations & back office

How this is scored

What happens after checkout: order management, stock, returns, shipping, and the link to ERP or accounting.

0 — An order list and an email; stock is a number nobody trusts, returns are manual.

3 — Order statuses and basic stock, one shipping integration, and returns handled by hand.

5 — Order workflow with partial shipments, multi-warehouse stock, named carrier integrations with label printing, and a returns process in the system.

8 — Multi-channel order intake, automated fulfilment routing, supplier and dropshipping flows, and maintained interfaces to named ERP and accounting systems.

10 — The shop is the front of an operation: real-time stock across channels and warehouses, returns and refunds fully worked including partials, ERP integration the vendor maintains, and operational reporting a merchant runs the business from.

Report an error

The Skeptic

We found no public information on order management, stock, returns, shipping integrations or ERP connections. The services list sells ads, design and migration help; nothing in it evidences what happens to an order after checkout. 1

Report an error

Data ownership & exit

How this is scored

Whether the catalogue, customers and order history remain the merchant's: export completeness, hosting choice, and what leaving actually costs.

0 — Export is a partial CSV; order history and customer records cannot leave intact, and hosting is the vendor's alone.

3 — CSV export of products and customers, order history partial, no self-hosting, no documented migration path.

5 — Complete export of catalogue, customers and orders via API or dump, documented deletion, and a stated data-return commitment.

8 — Full-fidelity export including media and order documents, self-hosting or a choice of hosting partner, and no metering that prices a migration out of reach.

10 — Ownership is structural rather than promised: open-source or source-available platform the merchant can run anywhere, database-level access, documented migration in both directions, and contractual data return.

Report an error

The Skeptic

We found no public information on export completeness, self-hosting, or any data-return commitment. The only migration reference is a service in the vendor's own services list, and nothing states what it costs to take catalogue, customers and order history out. 1

European sovereignty

How this is scored

Where customer and order data live, who the contracting entity is, and which subprocessors sit in the checkout path. Independently sourced by the sovereignty pipeline.

0 — Non-EU vendor and contracting entity, hosting unstated or non-EU, subprocessors unnamed.

3 — EU hosting offered as an option while the contracting entity is non-EU, or the subprocessor list is absent.

5 — EU hosting as standard and an EU contracting entity, but parts of the chain — CDN, analytics, payment routing, support tooling — are non-EU without an explained safeguard.

8 — EU hosting on named infrastructure, EU contracting entity, complete subprocessor list published, any non-EU processing named with its legal basis.

10 — Sovereign end to end and evidenced: vendor, entity, hosting and every subprocessor European, certification published, and a self-hosted option that puts the shop entirely under the merchant's control.

Report an error

The Skeptic

The contracting entity is European — Shoprenter Kft. of Hungary, operating since 2011 — which is the one solid fact in the chain. We found no public information on hosting location or subprocessors, so the checkout path cannot be checked against anyone. 1

Pricing transparency not rated — the vendor publishes no price

How this is scored

Whether a merchant can compute the real annual cost — licence, transaction fees, apps, hosting — from public pages alone. The category where the headline price is least often the invoice.

0 — No public prices at all; every tier is a sales conversation.

3 — A monthly headline exists, but transaction fees, mandatory apps or hosting costs are unstated — the invoice is unknowable from the page.

5 — Tier prices public with billing period stated and transaction fees given, but at least one commonly needed piece (a required app, hosting, payment gateway rate) is unpriced.

8 — Every tier priced publicly including transaction or revenue-share rates, order or GMV limits, and the cost of the extensions most shops need; VAT treatment and minimum term stated.

10 — Complete price computability: annual cost derivable for a given order volume and GMV including licence, transaction fees, hosting and typical extensions — and for open-source platforms, an honest statement that the licence is free and where the money actually goes.

Report an error

The Skeptic

What is public: a 14-day free trial, a free consultation, free training — all the things that cost the vendor nothing. We found no public tier price, billing period, transaction fee, or prices for Shoprenter Pay, the apps, or the design, migration and SEO services in their own catalogue, so the real annual invoice is not derivable from the page. 1
