Frequently asked questions

  • What makes ShopWired better than BluePark?

    Both BluePark and ShopWired are UK platforms built for UK businesses, supported by a UK support team. Both platforms have similar pricing too. Where ShopWired really has the edge over BluePark is in the features that we're able to offer our customers and the integrations we have with third party services. For example BluePark only has an integration with Quickbooks accounting platform, not Xero or Kashflow, and that integration is only available on their £59.99 + VAT monthly package.

  • Which platform has more customers?

    ShopWired hosts around 10,000 UK ecommerce websites compared with BluePark's 4,000, so ShopWired is a larger platform with over twice as many users.

  • How does BluePark compare on price with ShopWired?

    BlueParks's basic package is £24.99 + VAT per month compared with ShopWired's charge of £34.95 + VAT per month. BluePark's basic package is limited in the features it provides though, for example you can only have 500 products (on ShopWired its 750), and only 500MB of storage space (on ShopWired its unlimited). Basic features available on all ShopWired packages are only available on BluePark's top £59.99 + VAT per month package, for example selling on eBay (available free on all packages on ShopWired), or integrating with accounting platforms like Quickbooks.

  • Can I use a BluePark theme on ShopWired?

    Unfortunately BluePark themes can't be used on other platforms like ShopWired so instead you'll need to pick a new theme from ShopWired's collection and customise its look and feel. If you want something a little more bespoke please contact us and we can discuss your requirements.

  • Does ShopWired have more options for accepting online payments than BluePark?

    BluePark has integrations with 12 payment gateways, including Stripe, PayPal and Klarna. ShopWired has integrations with Stripe, PayPal and Klarna too but also has integrations with large UK payment gateways like SagePay, WorldPay and Barclaycard. In total ShopWired has integrations with over 40+ UK payment gateways.

  • What POS solution does ShopWired offer?

    ShopWired doesn't provide its own POS system, instead we'd recommend that you use Vend which is one of the largest POS systems in the world. Your ShopWired account can connect seamlessly with Vend to sync products, stock and orders.

  • Will I lose my search engine rankings when my ShopWired website goes live?

    No, there is no reason for you to lose any search engine rankings. If you have a good position in search results then we have some guidance for you to follow when migrating to make sure the process is as smooth as it can be and that your rankings are not disrupted. For more details see here.

  • Will customers who have accounts on my website be able to keep those accounts?

    You can use ShopWired's migration system to copy your customer accounts across from your current website. All the customer information will be preserved but they'll need to use a new password to access their account information. We can place a notification on the account login page giving customers an easy way to create a new password.

  • Will my site load at the same speed it did before?

    Absolutely. In fact nearly all users migrating from BluePark report a quicker download time for their website because of our server locations and overall platform architecture.
