Frequently Asked Questions

? Is CoreShop hard to install?

CoreShop requires prior setup of Symfony and Pimcore. It can be installed via Composer or Docker (for simplified deployment), but technical knowledge of these frameworks is recommended for smooth installation and customization.

? Is CoreShop a good alternative to Shopify?

Yes—CoreShop offers more customization and enterprise features (like multi-store and advanced inventory) than Shopify, but lacks Shopify’s no-code simplicity. It’s ideal for businesses that want full control over their e-commerce stack.

? Is CoreShop completely free?

CoreShop is open-source under the MIT license, so it’s free to use, modify, and self-host. However, you may incur costs for hosting, server maintenance, or premium support from CoreShop’s team or third parties.
