A Shopify Alternative With a Free Trial and No Card Required

Shopify's free trial is real, but it comes with a catch worth knowing before you start: it typically requires a card on file, and the trial converts into a paid subscription automatically once it ends unless you actively cancel — which, billed in USD against a Nigerian bank card, adds its own friction.

What a genuinely risk-free trial should mean

• No card required to start building your store.
• A real full month, not a shortened preview of the product.
• No surprise charge if you simply stop using it.

Why this matters more for a Nigerian seller

An automatic USD charge on a Naira-denominated card carries its own conversion cost and the risk of a declined or flagged transaction — a real, avoidable annoyance for someone just testing whether a platform is right for their business.

How Bifixit's trial works

Every Bifixit plan — Starter, Growth, and Scale — includes a genuinely free first month, and the 3% transaction fee only applies once a real sale happens. There's no requirement to enter payment details just to explore the dashboard and build a shop.
