Use when

You already have a site or audience and want to add selling without a migration.

Skip when

You are starting fresh, where a dedicated platform is simpler.

Free tier supports a small catalogue, and the model is different from Shopify's: instead of moving your site, you embed a store into whatever you already run - WordPress, Wix, or a social page. Useful when you have an audience somewhere and do not want to send them to a new domain.
