SSL securedLink Hub vs E-Commerce Platform
Beacons starts free. But you pay in features.
Beacons has a generous free plan. But the free tier takes 9% of every sale. And core features like custom domains and email branding require paid plans. For serious selling, the cost adds up.
Beacons gives you a link page that sells. NoCode.shop gives you a store that grows.
A real store. Not a link page with a checkout.
Full Storefront
A real website with product pages, categories, and search. Not a list of links with "buy" buttons.
Automatic Invoicing
Compliant invoices and VAT handling out of the box. Beacons does not offer invoicing.
Customer Portal
Your customers manage subscriptions and purchases. Beacons does not offer a customer portal.
SEPA & Direct Debit
Accept SEPA direct debit via GoCardless. Beacons only supports Stripe card payments.
Workflows & Automations
Both platforms offer email tools. NoCode.shop adds payment triggers, dunning, and segmentation.
EU-Hosted & GDPR
Data hosted in the EU. GDPR compliant. Beacons is US-based.
Beacons is a great link hub with light selling
If you mainly need a link-in-bio page, want to collect emails, and sell a few digital products on the side: Beacons is a solid choice. Their free plan is generous, and the creator-focused design is polished.
But if selling is your main activity, you need subscriptions, real product pages, invoicing, and GDPR compliance: NoCode.shop is the upgrade. You get a real store, not a link page with products bolted on.
