Over 130,000 online stores in the past 18 years
Before choosing an online store platform, here’s what no one ever explained to you.
Are you a small business owner, a craftsman, a freelancer, a sole trader or a self-employed entrepreneur?
So here’s the full, uncensored story of how you can avoid abusive fees of €600 to €2,000 per year... while getting a professional online store... ...really easy to use... at a painless price!
But first, there’s something you absolutely need to know:
With a traditional platform, the average lifespan of a store is 220 days *
The scenario is almost always the same... take a look:
Day 1 : You’re motivated. You open your store (€50/month).
Total: €50
Day 30 : First obstacle. You pay for a premium theme (€200).
Total: €300
Day 60 : Missing features. You upgrade to a higher plan (€100/month).
Total: €400
Day 90 : You have no traffic. You add an SEO app (€20/month).
Total: €520
Day 120 : Still no sales. A cart abandonment app (€30/month).
Total: €670
Day 150 : You feel lost. A customer review app (€20/month).
Total: €840
Day 180 : You’re trying to hang on. An “official training” (€300).
Total: €1310
Day 220 : You give up. You’ve lost €1310, and you’re convinced the problem was you.
But… why did it fail? … and why did it cost so much? What happened?
The reason is simple... but keep this in mind for now:
Traditional platforms are built exclusively for big retailers.
Take a moment to think about it...
If you take a close look, you’ll see that on the websites of traditional platforms, there are usually two types of offers:
1. Regular plans, around €50 to €150 per month...
2. ... and all the way to the right, there’s a plan for big retailers — with no price listed — where you’re asked to contact them for details.
And it’s precisely in the offer for big retailers that things get interesting...
You should know that most traditional e-commerce platforms are publicly traded... so they are required to publish all their figures in annual reports accessible to everyone.
And precisely... these public numbers show that it’s through the subscriptions of big retailers that traditional e-commerce platforms make their money .
So if you think of a big retailer making between €10 million and €100 million a year, you’ll understand they can easily pay a subscription of €10 000 to €100 000 a month.
What’s more, this kind of merchant will stay on the platform for many years and have expert employees handling everything… which means less work for the e-commerce platform.
So, these big retailers are the very reason traditional platforms exist...
But then... what happens to small merchants like you?
To really understand, let’s look at it through the eyes of the traditional platforms.
Put yourself in their shoes. Here are the choices they face:
Big retailers:
1. Huge profit: up to 2,000× more than a small retailer.
2. Long-term use: big retailers stay up to 15 years.
3. Low support: big retailers have experts to handle everything.
Small retailers:
1. Tiny profitability compared to big retailers.
2. Very short lifespan. Yep... 220 days on average, and you’ll see why below.
3. Need more support. Most have very little experience with computers.
These facts clearly illustrate the strategy of traditional platforms towards small business owners.
While traditional platforms aim to keep big retailers as long as possible... with small business owners, their goal is to take as much money as possible in the shortest amount of time .
Yes... a whole strategy for small business owners...
But how do they get you to... pay... pay... and keep paying... until it all falls apart?
Their strategy is simple:
The more you lack confidence... the more they push you to buy services...
The strategy is based on the fact that most small shop owners aren’t very comfortable with technology. So they tend to blame themselves when things go wrong.
Look closely:
1. Right from the start, they throw you into a complicated interface designed for big-business experts… which is perfect for making you doubt yourself from day one.
2. You start with the basic version, which is clearly not enough to build a proper store. So very quickly, you’re forced to upgrade to a more expensive plan.
3. You see no results and discover a whole bunch of features sold separately... the infamous apps. So very quickly, your monthly bill grows—with tools that won’t change a thing.
4. And in the end, drained of your energy and hope... you give up.
And now, let us share our vision of the world with you...
In 2007, 18 years ago, we created our platform KingEshop with one single idea:
KingEshop was created for one single purpose: to serve ONLY small business owners!
Our entire business strategy is based on this goal: only small retailers!
This has allowed us to help create over 130,000 online stores... quietly... with almost no advertising... just word of mouth.
And concretely... here’s what that means for you:
1. An online store that’s easy to use — even if tech isn’t your thing
You don’t need to be a tech expert. Our interface is designed for artisans, shopkeepers, and independents… not for engineers.
2. A painless price — focus on your business, not on your bills
Our yearly fee is 5 to 10 times cheaper than traditional platforms. It’s fixed, clear, with no surprises. You don’t have to think about it every month or track your expenses. Stay focused on what matters: your products, your customers, your passion.
3. All features included — no apps to buy, nothing to unlock
With us, you get everything from the start. No need to pay extra for something as basic as customer reviews, SEO, or cart recovery. No plugin store, no paid options. One plan. No surprises.
4. Our clients stay for an average of 12 years — we’re with you for the long haul
With other platforms, the average store closes after 220 days. With us, it’s 12 years. Our model is built on loyalty, not burnout. We don’t take everything in 6 months. We build with you, over time. So if you value consistency and respect, you’ll feel right at home with us.
5. You’ll have a beautiful store — with the look of a website worth thousands
With KingEshop, you’ll create a store that’s stunning, complete, and credible. It won’t look any different from those that cost thousands. Your customers will see a professional site. No one will believe you paid almost nothing.
6. Real support — because that’s how you’ll stay for 12 years
No fake promises, no scripted support. We love what we do, and we truly want to help you. We also know that if we want you to stay, we need to help your business thrive.
One last word before we finish:
As you’ve probably understood, our business model relies on very low prices over a long period… and that’s why all sales are final, with no refunds. So take all the time you need to decide if our solution is right for you… and if you choose to work with us, we’ll have a wonderful journey together!
