— The honest comparison

Vendora vs Shopify.

No marketing fluff. Real feature parity, real pricing, real outcomes — line by line. Vendora is a full web app: it runs in any browser, installs to the home screen in one tap, and never asks you for an app-store cut.

Zero downtime
— Web app, not a native app

One link. No app store.

Vendora gives your shop a real web app — the kind your customer opens from a WhatsApp link and, if they want, installs to their home screen in one tap. No 30% app-store cut, no waiting on review queues, no "please update the app" — every change you publish is live for everyone instantly.

Zero install friction
Customers tap a link and they are shopping. Optional "Add to Home Screen" turns it into an app icon — no download, no store.
Ships everywhere at once
iPhone, Android, tablet, desktop — the same web app, the same URL, no separate builds or store approvals.
You keep 100%
No Apple or Google commission on sales. UPI, cards and COD settle straight to you.
