Bridge Store vs Shopify
|
|
| Bridge Store | Shopify |
| Fast and cost-effective process. Choose from 2,553 brands to add to your store. Of these brands, Bridge has partnerships with 119 brands (Smart Brands). If approved, your store can instantly offer up to 72,385 products from these partner brands. | Slow and expensive process. Start with an empty online store. You have to enter all brands manually, find their logos, and more. You spend massive amounts of time and money to add brands and products. Tedious process. |
| Powerful gift registry software. Immediately offer your registrants best-in-class gift & bridal registry software. The software is built-in and works seamlessly. | No built-in gift registry software. Registry software is an add-on from a 3rd-party developer and costs an additional monthly fee. Not seamless. |
| Easy to manage products. Allows your business to easily manage 1,000s of products. | Difficult to manage products. Interface makes it hard to manage more than 100 products. Since most businesses need thousands of products to compete online, Shopify doesn't scale well. |
| Dynamic home page. Bridge's dynamic home page keeps shoppers engaged in content, keeps them on your Store page longer, and boosts your Google ranking. | Old-fashioned home page. The site structure consists of a traditional slideshow and static content. |
| Reviews. Your Bridge Store comes with built-in review software. Bridge will help your store collect and share reviews on social media. | No built-in review software. Review software is an add-on from a 3rd-party developer and costs an additional monthly fee. |
| Affordable. Offers your business a free plan. There is no time limit. Bridge offers a true free plan and not just a free trial. | Expensive. No free plan and most features are costly add-ons. |
