Customer stories

Real stories, as our first shops go live.

Add Your Shop launched in autumn 2026, so we don't have customer stories to show you yet — and we won't invent any. As our founding shops start selling, we'll publish their stories here, in their own words and with their permission.

Launched autumn 2026

Our first stories are being written now.

Rather than invent quotes, we're working closely with a small group of founding shops. Their stories will appear on this page as they go live.

Founding shops

Become one of our first 50 shops.

The same price as everyone else — no setup fee, no monthly fee, 2.5% per sale with a €49 monthly cap. What founding shops get on top is our time:

  • Your shop set up personally by the founder, not a template
  • A direct line for support, in French or English
  • A say in what we build next
  • Your story featured on this site, if you'd like it to be
50
founding places across France, Belgium and the UK

Every story on this page will come from a real Add Your Shop customer and be published with their written permission. Being featured is optional and never a condition of joining.

Until then

What a month could look like — with the real maths.

Three illustrative examples, not real customers: the shops and their numbers are made up. The fees are exactly what you would pay — our 2.5%, capped at €49 a month, and Stripe's standard card fee, which is separate and paid to Stripe.

Illustrative example

A bakery taking Saturday pre-orders

Customers reserve sourdough, croissants and tarts during the week, pay online and collect on Saturday morning in a pickup slot. In a typical month: 40 orders averaging €22.

Sales: 40 × €22 = €880.00
Add Your Shop: 2.5% × €880 = €22.00
Stripe: 1.5% × €880 + 40 × €0.25 = €23.20
The bakery keeps €834.80
Illustrative example

A wine shop in December

Regulars order mixed cases and gift boxes online, to collect in store or have delivered by courier. In December: 50 orders averaging €96 — enough for the cap to apply.

Sales: 50 × €96 = €4,800.00
Add Your Shop: 2.5% × €4,800 = €120.00
→ capped at €49.00 for the month
Stripe: 1.5% × €4,800 + 50 × €0.25 = €84.50
The wine shop keeps €4,666.50
Our commission: about 1.0% of sales
Illustrative example

A florist delivering locally

Bouquets in three sizes, ordered online with a card message and delivered across town the same day. In a typical month: 40 orders averaging €45, delivery included.

Sales: 40 × €45 = €1,800.00
Add Your Shop: 2.5% × €1,800 = €45.00
Stripe: 1.5% × €1,800 + 40 × €0.25 = €37.00
The florist keeps €1,718.00

Illustrative examples only — these are not Add Your Shop customers. Our commission is 2.5% of sales and never more than €49 per calendar month, excluding VAT; VAT may apply. Stripe's fee assumes standard European cards (1.5% + €0.25 per payment); premium, business and non-EEA cards cost more. A month with no online orders costs €0. Try your own numbers.

Measured, not claimed

What we'll measure with our founding shops

When a founding shop's story appears here, it will come with real numbers, agreed with the shop before anything is published. These are the questions we'll answer.

Time to go live

How many working days from your first message to a Shop tab taking orders. We expect a few working days; we'll publish what actually happens.

Orders and order value

How many orders arrive through the Shop tab each month, and their average value — counted from real payments, not estimates.

What it really costs

Our commission and Stripe's fee as a share of online sales, and how often the €49 cap applies — so the examples above can be checked against real months.

Time at the counter

Whether pre-paid orders and pickup slots mean fewer orders taken by phone and shorter queues. We'll ask the shops rather than guess.

Support

How quickly we reply, how quickly changes go live and whether the first answer solved the problem.

What's missing

Everything founding shops ask for that we don't do yet. Those requests shape what we build next.

Questions

About customer stories

Why no testimonials yet?

Because Add Your Shop launched in autumn 2026 and our first shops are only now going live. We could have written a few flattering quotes, but invented reviews mislead the people who read them — and EU consumer law bans them. We'd rather show you nothing than something untrue.

Are the examples on this page real businesses?

No. The three examples are illustrations: the shops and their numbers are made up. The fees are real — 2.5% for us, capped at €49 a month, plus Stripe's standard card fee. Our demo stores are fictional too, and always labelled as such.

When will the first stories appear?

Once our founding shops have been selling long enough to have something real to say — and only if they agree to share it. Each story will appear with the shop's name, its town and its own words.

Can my shop be featured?

If you'd like it to be, yes. Featuring is optional for founding shops and never a condition of joining. You read and approve every word before anything is published, and you can ask us to take it down at any time.

What does a founding shop pay?

The same as everyone: no setup fee, no monthly fee, and 2.5% of each order paid online, capped at €49 a month. Stripe's card fee is separate. There are no discounts or free months — what founding shops get is our time. See pricing.

How do I become a founding shop?
