The comparison assumes a typical mid-sized Nordic merchant and is generalised. Litium, Norce and Jetshop are trademarks of their respective owners.

Count the whole thing, not just the licence.

The established Nordic platforms are solidly built — but often licence-heavy, with longer projects and a higher total cost over time. Here is the honest picture.

HDL Commerce

One predictable price

0% transaction fees
  • ✓ Platform, hosting, security and updates included
  • ✓ No per-order or GMV licence fees
  • ✓ Ready-made integrations — fewer consultant hours
  • ✓ No upgrade projects over time
Nordic platforms

Solid — but heavy and expensive

Licence + projects
  • • A licence fee that often grows with revenue
  • • Longer implementation projects (months)
  • • Upgrades in version steps
  • • Dependence on a partner for changes

What people ask before switching

Common questions

Do we have to rebuild everything from scratch?+

No. We migrate your existing catalogue, customer data and orders. The storefront is built on our headless foundation, but you keep your content, your URLs and your SEO.

How long does a migration take?+

Most merchants are live in weeks rather than months. The exact time depends on how many integrations you have and how customised your current setup is — the free assessment answers that.

What happens to our modules and customisations?+

Much of what you built with modules is built into HDL Commerce — B2B, PIM and multichannel. For the rest we have ready-made integrations and open APIs, with no lock-in.

Do we own our data?+

Always. Your data is yours. Open APIs and export with no lock-in mean you can take all of it with you, whenever you want.

Where is the platform hosted?+

In Sweden, on green infrastructure, GDPR-safe and with 99.3% uptime. We handle hosting, security and updates.
