Branchbob
Build and manage an online store from a browser or smartphone, with a paid subscription required to enable checkout.
About Branchbob
branchbob is a hosted e-commerce platform for building and running an online store without writing code. Merchants can organize physical or digital products with categories, variants, images, and stock, then configure shipping zones and online or offline payments. The same browser-based workflow covers themes, search optimization, invoices, and order management. Store creation and basic management are free, but customers cannot complete checkout until the merchant subscribes. Premium costs €12.50 per month and adds unlimited products, a custom domain with checkout on that domain, automatic inventory management, promotions, multiple shops, theme source access, tracking, imports and exports, staff accounts, API access, unlimited product images, and coupons. The setup fits small sellers who want to prepare a storefront quickly. Merchants that need live sales, deeper integrations, or greater control should include Premium in their operating budget.

Pros
- Basic store creation has no setup, monthly, or transaction fee, which lowers the cost of preparing a catalog.
- Merchants can configure products, shipping, payment methods, themes, and invoices in one hosted workflow.
- Premium supports custom-domain checkout, staff accounts, API access, and import/export for more controlled operations.
Cons
- A paid subscription is required to enable checkout, so the free basic service cannot complete a live sale.
- The advanced commerce and customization features are concentrated in the €12.50 monthly Premium plan.
- API access, staff accounts, full theme source access, and unlimited products require Premium, limiting deeper integration on the basic service.
