Shopify is faster to launch; BuddyX is more flexible and you own everything (no per-transaction fee, no plan-limited customisations). For brands building community + content alongside commerce, BuddyX is the better long-term investment.
Can we run subscriptions?
Yes. WooCommerce Subscriptions for recurring product subscriptions (coffee, supplements, beauty). Pause + skip + swap handled in the customer portal.
What about Klaviyo / Mailchimp?
Layer in your existing ESP; FluentCRM is also a polished native option that costs less at scale. Either way, BuddyX hosts the data + the community; the ESP runs the campaigns.
