Where Can I Sell My Shopify Store?
Written by Christopher Krassnig - Founder - Kairos Exchange and ZenoX Media. Last reviewed 17 July 2026.
You can sell a Shopify store on Flippa, Empire Flippers, Motion Invest, Acquire.com, or Kairos Exchange. Those split into three kinds of venue: open marketplaces, curated ones, and startup marketplaces. Kairos is the fourth kind, built for Shopify stores, and it reads revenue from real order data so a buyer can trust the listing. Shopify's own Exchange marketplace closed in 2022 and was never replaced.

The Venues and Their Fees
Flippa charges a listing fee from 29 dollars plus a 10 percent success fee. Empire Flippers lists free and takes a flat 10,000 dollars on smaller sales, tiered percentages above. Motion Invest lists free with a success fee sliding from 20 down to 5 percent. Acquire.com charges monthly listing fees plus 6 to 8 percent at closing. Kairos lists free and charges a success fee only when the deal closes.
Which Venue Fits Which Store
High-volume, low-price stores fit open marketplaces where reach matters more than curation. Six-figure stores with clean books get better outcomes at vetted venues, because vetting is what draws serious buyers. Stores with provable Shopify order data are exactly what Kairos was built for: the proof becomes the sales pitch.
What Selling on Kairos Looks Like
You connect Shopify read-only, the numbers get verified against your actual orders, and the listing goes live with a verification memo instead of a trust-me claim. Listing is free, checking your numbers is free, and the success fee only exists when your sale closes. Verified inventory is opening now, and the waitlist gets first access.
