Two ways to turn a Webflow site into a store.
Native Webflow Ecommerce combines store building with the Webflow platform. Penni Cart connects a separate commerce backend to your existing Webflow site or a custom-coded frontend.
Choose native Ecommerce when that integrated workflow meets your requirements. Consider Penni Cart when you want the same commerce layer across Webflow and code.

Customization deserves a real comparison.
Webflow offers custom cart and checkout design. The decision is not whether one platform allows design at all; compare the actual shopping flow you need to build.
With Penni Cart, design the supported checkout elements around your site. Stripe and Square payment fields remain provider-controlled, so test both layout freedom and payment behavior.
Evaluate the store after the first purchase.
Compare product options, recurring purchases, shipping coverage and your daily order workflow with real examples from your business.
Recurring product renewals currently have Stripe and Converge processing paths. Square is a one-time checkout option, not a supported recurring-renewal processor. Confirm saved payment references and a complete renewal test before launching subscriptions.
Start with a representative product and destination, then inspect the order, stock and fulfillment workflow rather than deciding from a feature checklist alone.

Questions, answered.
Do I have to replace my existing Webflow design?
Penni Cart is intended to connect commerce to the website you already have. You still need to connect products, cart and checkout correctly and test the complete flow.
Is Penni Cart always cheaper?
No universal price claim is appropriate. Compare your hosting, product requirements, commerce plan and payment-processing fees using current prices.
Can native Webflow customize checkout?
Yes. Webflow offers custom cart and checkout design. Compare the specific layouts, payment options and operations your business needs.
