Shopify is a global e-commerce platform for building and running online stores, starting at €29/month. It supports German payment methods natively — SEPA, Klarna and PayPal — and offers a large app ecosystem including German tax and invoicing tools.
For data protection, Shopify provides an EU DPA and Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), plus an EU data-processing option. However, its data residency is mixed EU/US, which is a genuine GDPR consideration for DACH merchants and means transfer mechanisms must be assessed.
Shopify is subscription-based with no free tier. It is not intended for Art. 9 DSGVO special-category data.
