Scores 0–5 per our evaluation rubric. ✓ = claimed or available. — = not yet evaluated or not stated.
How we evaluate
We score tools on five dimensions (0–5) from public, verifiable information: implementation friction (ease of getting started), integration maturity (APIs, SSO, export), pricing transparency, security posture (heuristic from vendor statements), and SME fit (overall fit for time-poor, budget-conscious UK SMEs). We also record flags: GDPR/DPA claimed, UK/EU data hosting, SSO, and audit logs. Scores and flags are documented in our internal evaluation framework; we use them to keep comparisons consistent and to surface tools that meet compliance and hosting needs.
FAQs
- Who is this guide for?
- UK ecommerce sellers: D2C, marketplace, or small online retail evaluating AI for product content, listings, multichannel, and inventory. The tools we list are chosen for relevance to Shopify, Amazon, eBay, WooCommerce, and UK obligations (VAT, distance selling, customer data).
- How do you evaluate tools?
- We score tools on five dimensions (implementation friction, integration maturity, pricing transparency, security posture, SME fit) from public information, and we record flags such as GDPR/DPA and UK/EU data hosting. See the "How we evaluate" section on this page for the full rubric.
- What about VAT and UK consumer law?
- We do not certify tools for HMRC or trading-standards compliance. You remain responsible for VAT registration (e.g. £90k threshold), distance selling rules, returns, and consumer rights. We surface tools that support compliant operations; suitability for your channels is your decision.
- Where do I see pricing?
- The comparison table on this page shows a pricing transparency score and GBP starting price where stated. Each tool's detail page has fuller pricing information when we have it — useful for comparing costs as you scale channels or SKUs.
- What about customer data and GDPR?
- We flag UK/EU data hosting and DPA where vendors state it. If a tool processes customer or order data, confirm data handling and retention with the vendor and your data protection lead before adoption.
