STORES vs BASE
Two Japan-focused no-code EC platforms with similar positioning. Both are easy to start, have fixed checkout UI, and prohibit adult content. Domestic payment coverage is the main differentiator.
Key differences
- Both are Japan-market no-code EC with free plans and transaction fees.
- Checkout UI: fixed on both; customization is limited to storefront themes.
- API: limited on both (developer access is not the primary target).
- Domestic payments: both support major Japanese payment methods; exact coverage differs.
- Prohibited categories: both exclude adult content and many high-risk industries.
