## Selling Online Costs More Than It Should

### Marketplaces take 15-30%

Etsy: 6.5% + listing fees. Amazon: 8-15%. eBay: 13.25%. DoorDash: up to 30%. Every order means losing a chunk to a platform that owns your customer relationship.

### Shopify + apps = $300-500/month

$39/mo Shopify Basic before your first sale. Add Klaviyo ($35), Judge.me ($15), ReCharge ($99), Loox ($10), Gorgias ($50), a paid theme ($180+), and you're at $400/month before any traffic.

### Slow stores are invisible to AI

Average Shopify store loads in 2-4 seconds. Worse: Shopify themes render with JavaScript, unreadable to ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. AI shopping is growing 165× faster than organic search.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### How is this $0/month? What's the catch?

Three tiers, every feature included in every tier. Tier auto-applies based on your monthly order volume. No manual upgrades, no feature locks. Starter ($0/mo + 6% per order, capped at $5) up to 100 orders/month. Growth ($499/mo + 1% per order) for 101-1,000 orders. Enterprise ($1,999/mo + 0.25% per order) at 1,001+. 30-day money-back on Growth and Enterprise.

### Can I migrate from Shopify, Etsy, Magento, or WooCommerce?

Yes. Any platform that offers an API or data export of products, customers, or orders can be migrated. We offer migration support to handle the mapping and import for you.

### Will my SEO survive the move?

Yes, and usually improves. Static HTML, auto-generated schema.org, sitemap, and llms.txt typically lift rankings within 60-90 days. Sub-second load is a Core Web Vitals win.

### Can I use my own domain?

Yes, included from day one. See usetgo.com for a live example.

### What if I need a feature you don't have?

We ship every quarter (see "Coming in 2026" above for the roadmap). Send us a request and we will evaluate it for the next release. Enterprise customers can also access the REST API directly to integrate or extend any operation.

### Can I leave if I don't like it?

Anytime. Products, customers, orders, and images are all exportable as CSV. No contract, no monthly fees. Leaving costs nothing.
