How does a new store get started?
You register the store, pick a design, upload products by hand or from a spreadsheet, and switch on payments and couriers from a ready-made list. Then you place a test order and choose a plan.

Switching platforms is expensive
After a year, moving costs time, Google rankings and nerves. It is better to start somewhere that will still fit you in three years.
- The same platform serves stores with thousands of orders a day
- Warehouse and ERP, locations and B2B, when you need them
- A store for another country from the same admin

Platform switchnot needed
Example. You change the plan, not the platform. Your Google rankings, customers and order history stay in place.
Don't fall into these traps
Six things that make a first store turn out to be temporary. In CloudCart, each has an answer.
A platform just for getting startedAfter a year you move, at the cost of rankings, time and nerves.
Marketplace onlyThe customers are not yours, and the percentage grows with turnover.
Software that costs nothing, upkeep that doesHosting, plugins and a developer are paid for every month.
Couriers and payments need custom workEvery courier and payment method is a separate project.
Left alone with video tutorialsIf something stops working, there is no one to call.
A percentage of the first orderEvery sale is charged a fee before the business has even taken off.
Your own store vs. a marketplace only
| CloudCart | Marketplace only | |
|---|---|---|
| Customers | Yours, with email | On the marketplace |
| Email campaigns to customers | Built in | None |
| Brand and domain | Yours | One of many sellers |
| Pricing | You set it | Right next to a competitor's |
| Selling on marketplaces too | From the same catalog | Only on that one |
| Bulgarian couriers and payments | Built in | By the marketplace's rules |
| Transaction fee on sales | 0% | From every order |
The comparison describes how things usually are and depends on the plan and the setup.
