Stores

Here's a bunch of comparisons of online store platforms.

Site	Pros	Cons	Custom Domain	Inventory Limit	Adult content
Square	* Square makes those terminals that brick and mortar stores use nowadays. * Integrated inventory between physical/digital stores. * Free plan has a lot of features.	I don't like the templates.	$29/mo	Unlimited	⚠️ No "obscene, indecent, lewd, pornographic" content
Ecwid	A LOT of features.	Gets more expensive every year.	$25/mo	* free = 5 * $25 = 100 * $45 = 1000	✅Does not explicitly forbid under ecwid or lightspeed TOS
Limited Run	* Complete control of HTML/CSS. * No monthly fee.	Admin UI is probably confusing to less computer-savvy users	Free	?	❓ Terms : “We may, but have no obligation to, remove Content that we determine in our sole discretion are pornographic.”
Itch.io	Good for digital media (PDFs, games)	Weird shipping/inventory system for physical sales	?	?	✅ Known for hosting pornographic content ⛔ No underage sexuality

Site	Pros	Cons	Adult content?
Patreon	Free	Takes a noticeable percentage	⚠️ Some vanilla NSFW. Can and will ban anything dubious (hypno, furry, anime…)
Ko-fi	Free		⛔ NO. Will look at your other soc med and audit you.

Site	Pros	Cons	Adult content?
Artconomy	Free		✅ Allows anything legal within their state's law.
Picarto	* Free * Integrated streaming, shop, and tipping		✅ Allows most things. ⛔ No underage sexuality.
