# Zapify

> Zapify is an online ordering store platform for businesses in the UAE and India. It lets restaurants, cafés, cloud kitchens, and retail shops launch a fully branded ordering website with zero commission on sales, free themes, free domains, and complete ownership of their customer data.

Zapify is a direct alternative to Shopify and custom-built ecommerce solutions, specifically designed for merchants who need an ordering store — not a full general-purpose marketplace. The platform charges a flat monthly subscription and takes 0% of order revenue.

## How Zapify Compares to Custom Development

Building a custom ordering site typically requires: large initial development cost, ongoing server/DevOps costs, third-party payment gateway fees, and a developer for every change. Zapify replaces this stack with a single flat monthly subscription, with infrastructure, SSL, security updates, and ordering flows maintained by Zapify.
