PeptideSetup vs Shopify
Will ban your peptide store
Shopify actively terminates peptide sellers. No appeal process. Payment balances frozen for 180 days.
PeptideSetup vs WooCommerce
Plugin fragmentation + hosting bans
Open-source but shared hosting bans you. On your own VPS it works — with significant maintenance overhead.
PeptideSetup vs Magento / Adobe Commerce
Enterprise overkill for most sellers
Extremely powerful but requires professional developers. Adobe Commerce starts at $22,000/year.
PeptideSetup vs BigCommerce
Restricted products policy
SaaS platform with similar restrictions to Shopify. Peptides flagged under pharmaceutical product policies.
PeptideSetup vs PrestaShop
Viable if self-hosted, EU-focused
Open-source PHP ecommerce popular in Europe. Works on your own VPS but needs custom payment integration and ongoing maintenance.
PeptideSetup vs Self-Hosted (DIY)
Full control, full responsibility
Build your own stack with Saleor, Medusa, or Vendure. Maximum flexibility — but weeks of development and ongoing DevOps.
PeptideSetup vs Wix
Will ban your peptide store
Managed platform with strict content policies. No custom payment integration. Peptide stores will be terminated.
PeptideSetup vs Squarespace
Will ban your peptide store
Beautiful templates, but Stripe-only payments and pharmaceutical content restrictions. Not viable for peptides.
PeptideSetup: Built for This Market
Dedicated VPS hosting, crypto + card payments, anonymous domain registration, abandoned cart recovery, affiliate program, and SEO infrastructure — all purpose-built for peptide and research chemical sellers.
