MaShop is an AI builder for online stores. You describe what you sell, and it builds a real store: catalog, cart, checkout, orders, customers, inventory and an admin to run it all. No monthly platform tiers, and no cut taken from your sales.
Most people start the search for a Shopify alternative for the same reason: the bill keeps growing. The plan is only the beginning. As of 2026, Shopify's published prices run from $39/month on Basic to $105 on the Grow plan and $399 on Advanced. On top of that, Shopify charges a fee on every order: 2.9% + 30¢ on Basic with Shopify Payments, and an extra 0.5% to 2% if you process payments with another provider.
Then come the apps. Bookings, subscriptions, advanced inventory and many other features live behind paid apps, and the monthly total climbs fast. You are renting a platform, customizing a theme inside its limits, and handing back a slice of every sale.
Self hosting is the usual escape route, and it tends to move the bill rather than delete it. No plan ladder and no cut of your sales, but hosting to pay for, extension licences to renew, and an evening spent testing every update on a staging copy before it touches the shop that takes money. What twelve months on WooCommerce actually costs is worked through line by line on its own page.
A real Shopify alternative should remove that tax, not move it around.
Shopify gives you a hosted theme you fill in. MaShop gives you a generated application. You write a prompt, and the AI builds a real commerce app: product pages with variants and stock, a cart, a checkout, order management, customer records and a back office to run the shop. It is built for commerce from the start, not a generic site you bolt a store onto.
The generated code runs on your own hosting, and your sales flow through your own checkout. MaShop charges you for building and editing the app, never a percentage of what you sell.
You pay for the work, not for the right to make money.
Describe what you sell and who you sell it to.

Your shop goes live ready to take its first order today.
MaShop is commerce-specialized and multi-vertical. It can generate a classic product shop, a restaurant with online ordering, a service with a booking calendar, a subscription box, or a ticketed event. The same AI that knows carts and variants also knows menus, availability and ticketing, so you are not forcing your business into a template that was built for something else.
There is no platform subscription ladder and no fee on your sales. You pay MaShop to build and edit the app, and you cover your own hosting, which is often very low cost to start. For most stores that removes both the rising plan cost and the per-order cut.
Yes. MaShop generates the application as code in your own repository, so you can read it, change it, or hand it to a developer.
Yes. Those are core to what it generates: product variants, stock, a cart, checkout, order management and a back office, out of the box.
You describe your catalog to the AI or bring your product data, and it builds the store around it. You keep your products, you change platforms.
The output is a real application you deploy to your own hosting and run like any other site. You are not locked into a sandbox.
Describe your store and watch MaShop build it.
