Shaded rows are where the two answers disagree and both listings have answered. A row where one side has not stated a fact is left plain, because silence is not a difference.
Ecwid
A store that bolts onto a site you already have
Ecwid adds a shop to a site that already exists rather than asking anybody to rebuild on a new platform, which is what makes it the answer when the site is fine and only the selling is missing. It will also stand on its own with an included site builder and a free subdomain. Plans are separated by product count first: ten on the cheapest, a hundred on the next. Selling through Instagram and Facebook, the mobile management app and automated tax all start one tier above the entry plan.
Our note
Count your products before choosing, because the jump from ten to a hundred is the whole difference between the first two tiers and it is not a soft limit. If the shop is going to be the main event rather than an addition, pay for Shopify or BigCommerce now instead of migrating in a year.

Tebex
Game server monetization at a flat five percent
Tebex sells ranks, cosmetics and subscriptions to the players on a game server, and handles the billing, renewals and plan changes that a community running its own payments ends up doing by hand. The entry tier has no monthly cost and takes a flat five percent instead, so a quiet month costs nothing. Store layouts are customisable and the checkout is theirs rather than a redirect somewhere else. Anybody outside game communities is the wrong audience, because everything here assumes a server and its players.
