Your Next Store replaces Shoper's first-year promo pricing, payment commissions, and Premium-gated features with a flat subscription, 0% transaction fees, and AI that already works — with BLIK, Przelewy24, Allegro, and InPost covered. Here's the head-to-head.
Shoper is the biggest e-commerce SaaS in Poland — over 20,000 stores and more than 20 years in the market. It earned that position. But look past the headline 29 zł/month and the model shows its seams: that price is a first-year promo (up to 91% off), the regular Standard price is 299 zł net per month, payments carry per-transaction commissions, and features like the blog and email templates are gated behind the 729 zł/month Premium tier. Meanwhile the AI features on Shoper's own product-news page — assistant, content generation, image generation — are labeled "wkrótce": coming soon.
Your Next Store is an AI-native commerce platform on Next.js and Stripe. The AI that Shoper is announcing, YNS ships today — and the Polish essentials are covered: BLIK, Przelewy24, Allegro, InPost via Furgonetka, Fakturownia invoicing, and EU Omnibus compliance.
Side-by-side on the dimensions Polish merchants actually evaluate when switching platforms.
Shoper's own product-news page lists its AI lineup — the robo_Folks assistant, AI content assistant, and AI image generator — as coming soon. Today's AI story is limited to product recommendations.
The AI builder creates and redesigns your store from a plain-language description. The Eve assistant runs day-to-day operations from chat — including Slack. AI product descriptions and image generation are built into the catalog.
The advertised 29 zł/month is a first-year promotional anchor. The regular Standard price is 299 zł net/month (3,588 zł/yr); Premium is 729 zł net/month. When the promo ends, the price jumps roughly 10×.
A flat subscription that costs the same in year one and year five. No anniversary surprises, no renegotiation, and the full feature set on the plan you picked.
On top of the subscription, payments processed through the platform carry per-transaction commissions that vary by payment method, per Shoper's full service price list.
Zero platform transaction fees. Payments — cards, BLIK, Przelewy24, Apple Pay, Google Pay — go directly to your own Stripe account at Stripe's standard rates. YNS never takes a cut of your sales.
The blog and pre-built transactional email templates are reserved for the Premium tier at 729 zł net/month. On Standard, content marketing means workarounds or external tools.
Blog, newsletter campaigns, subscriber management, and email flows are included on every YNS plan — content marketing is a default, not an upsell.
Your store lives inside Shoper's system: closed templates, a proprietary editor, and an app store as the extension path. Leaving means starting over.
The YNS storefront is MIT-licensed open source with a typed Commerce SDK, a full REST API, and agent-ready interfaces (MCP, Agentic Commerce). Export your data anytime; self-host if you ever want to.
Shoper's strongest card is its local ecosystem: Allegro, InPost, BLIK, and Polish couriers are first-class citizens, backed by a large app store and template catalog.
YNS ships the same Polish essentials: Allegro offer publishing and order import, Furgonetka shipping (InPost, DPD, DHL, Poczta Polska, Orlen Paczka) with automatic labels and tracking, BLIK and Przelewy24 at checkout, Fakturownia invoicing, and EU Omnibus price compliance.
The #1 thing to understand about Shoper's pricing is the difference between the promotional first year and every year after it. All Shoper figures are net list prices from Shoper's own pricing page; commissions vary by payment method.
Shoper figures are net list prices published on shoper.pl/cennik as of 2026: Standard 299 zł net/mo regular (promoted at ~29–33 zł net/mo for the first year with an annual commitment, i.e. ~339 zł net for year one), Premium from 729 zł net/mo. Payment commissions are listed in Shoper's full service price list and vary by payment method, so we make no claim about a specific percentage. Feature gating (blog, transactional email templates, 24/7 support) follows Shoper's own plan comparison table. YNS figures come from the YNS pricing page; loyalty and product subscriptions have their own per-usage add-on pricing. Promotions change — always check both pricing pages for current numbers.
Shoper didn't get to 20,000+ stores by accident. Here's where each platform genuinely shines — and where it falls short.
If your first promo year is ending and the renewal shows 299 zł net/month plus payment commissions, this is the moment to compare. YNS costs the same every year, charges 0% transaction fees — and moving is $1, done for you.
Shoper's AI assistant, content generator, and image generator are announced. YNS ships them today: describe a redesign in plain language, ask the assistant to find orders or change prices from Slack, and generate product descriptions and images in the catalog.
If a blog and proper email flows are core to how you sell, Shoper prices them into the 729 zł/month Premium tier. On YNS, blog, newsletters, and email flows are included on every plan — start publishing on day one.

See how the $1 migration works →Honest answer: Your Next Store doesn't run a phone hotline. You get email support, an in-dashboard AI assistant that can actually make changes for you, and a dedicated migration specialist during your move. Worth knowing: Shoper's 24/7 support and priority tickets are reserved for the Premium tier — the standard tier gets phone and chat support during business hours.
Your storefront is MIT-licensed open source code, not a rented theme inside a closed system. You can export your products, customers, and orders at any time, host the storefront yourself if you ever want to, and any developer can extend it with the typed Commerce SDK and REST API. There is no lock-in at any layer.

On Shoper, the blog and pre-built transactional email templates are Premium-only features — the tier that costs 729 zł net per month. On Your Next Store, blog, newsletter campaigns, and email flows are included on every plan.
