Wix

Wix is the drag-and-drop starter for small shops that want a site live today. Fine for side projects, less ideal as you scale into serious DTC.

Shift4Shop

Shift4Shop offers a genuinely free hosted store when you use its payments, which is rare. Pragmatic for budget-first sellers who can tolerate an older interface.
