When to choose One Shop Manager

  • You want to pay once rather than every month.
  • You work on a Mac, without a virtual machine.
  • You manage up to 3 shops without moving to a higher plan.
  • You pick orders or sell in store: picking and the till are included.

When Merlin Backoffice may be a fit

  • Your shop is still on PrestaShop 1.5, which One Shop Manager does not support.
  • You prefer a monthly subscription with no commitment to a purchase.
  • You manage 4 or 5 shops on a single plan.
