Selar vs Shopify vs Bifixit: Which Should You Actually Use?

Selar has become a genuinely popular starting point for Nigerian creators and digital-product sellers — courses, ebooks, templates. It's worth being precise about what it's actually built for before comparing it to Shopify or Bifixit, since the three solve different problems.

What Selar is genuinely good at

Selar is fast to set up for digital products and one-off links — a course, a PDF, a single product page shared straight to social media. It's not built as a full multi-product physical-goods storefront with inventory, variants, and a browsable catalog.

What Shopify solves that Selar doesn't

Shopify gives you a real, browsable multi-product store with inventory and variants — genuinely useful once you're selling more than one thing. The catch for a Nigerian seller is the same one that comes up everywhere else in this comparison: no native Naira payment processing, and a subscription priced in a currency that moves against the Naira every month.

Where Bifixit sits between the two

Bifixit gives you the full multi-product storefront Shopify offers — inventory, variants, a real catalog — with Naira payments native from day one, plus AI-generated marketing and a lead-generation tool that neither Selar nor Shopify includes. If you're selling physical products and outgrowing a single-link setup, that combination is the actual gap Bifixit is built to fill.
