Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
JTL-Shop is ecommerce store software for retailers that want to run an online shop alongside JTL-Wawi merchandise management. It combines drag-and-drop storefront content design with central product, inventory and sales management. The platform supports payment providers, marketplace and multichannel selling, extensions, digital product downloads, warehouse operations, shipping labels and shipment tracking. It is particularly suited to German-speaking merchants managing several sales channels, catalog operations and fulfillment workflows from a connected retail setup.
Pricing ranges from a free Community Free Shop to paid professional editions. JTL Start costs €0 per month and supports up to 500 items plus 30+ marketplaces. JTL Advanced costs €99 per month for one professional shop, unlimited items and three POS terminal connections. JTL Pro costs €329 per month for three professional stores, voucher management and five POS terminal connections. JTL Enterprise supports unlimited professional stores and POS terminal connections and includes dedicated support. JTL-Shop hosting costs €29 per store per month, with the license, updates and backups included. The software can also be installed on the customer's own web server.
Its ecosystem covers PayPal, Klarna, Amazon Pay, Shopify, WooCommerce, Shopware, Amazon and eBay, while plugin support allows additional extensions. The Download module handles digital products, and JTL-Wawi provides the central merchandise-management connection. This makes JTL-Shop a practical choice for merchants whose operations depend on catalog control, inventory coordination, marketplaces, warehouses and shipping. Businesses that need a broader platform fit or a simpler standalone storefront may want to compare alternatives before choosing it. The free edition is a useful entry point, while hosted deployment reduces infrastructure responsibilities for stores that prefer JTL-managed hosting.
