Frequently Asked Questions

? Is EverShop hard to install?

EverShop is easy to install using Docker (with provided compose files) for quick deployment. Manual setup requires Node.js and a database (MongoDB/PostgreSQL), which is manageable for users with basic server knowledge.

? Is it a good alternative to Shopify?

Yes—EverShop offers self-hosted control and no subscription costs, unlike Shopify. It’s more flexible for custom frontend designs (headless) but requires more technical effort than Shopify’s drag-and-drop interface.

? Is it completely free?

EverShop is open-source under the MIT license, so it’s completely free to use, modify, and self-host. All core features are available without any hidden fees or premium tiers.
