Shopify page builder alternatives that don't need a Shopify store
GemPages, PageFly and Zipify Pages are Shopify apps, so you can't use them without a Shopify store. Replo, another popular Shopify page builder, also has a standalone product, Replo Sites. If what you need is a product landing page for ads with a cash-on-delivery order form, LandEmpire hosts the page itself, with a free plan and paid plans at $8, $19 and $39 a month.

Why GemPages, PageFly and Zipify need Shopify
These builders are installed from the Shopify App Store and work inside one store. Pages are published into your Shopify theme, product sections use your Shopify products and variants, and buyers pay through Shopify checkout. PageFly bills even its yearly plans through your Shopify bill, and GemPages says each subscription is meant for a single Shopify store.
That is a strength when you run a brand store: the landing page, cart, checkout, inventory and order history live in one place. It is a cost when you only want to test products with paid traffic, because the bill is the Shopify plan plus the app, and every test page still lives inside a store.
Price and requirements compared (as of November 2026)

- Replo - Shopify optional with Replo Sites - Shopify checkout, or Replo's own checkout, Stripe, PayPal or WooCommerce without Shopify - free plan with limited usage, Starter $99 a month billed annually
- LandEmpire - no Shopify - built-in COD order form, no cart - free plan, then $8, $19 or $39 a month
Where the Shopify builders are stronger
A standalone page builder is not a better Shopify app, it is a different tool. Choose a Shopify page builder, or Replo, if:
- You take card payments on the page and want a real cart and checkout
- You sell a catalog with variants, inventory and returning customers in one store
- You want a large template library: PageFly lists 320+ page and section templates
- You want heatmaps next to A/B tests, as on PageFly's Optimize plan and above
- You are not on Shopify but still want card checkout: Replo Sites has its own checkout and Stripe or PayPal options
What LandEmpire does without a store
LandEmpire is a standalone builder for one-product pages. Each page is live on LandEmpire as soon as you publish it, or on your own domain from the Start plan (1 domain on Start, 10 on Pro, 50 on Business), with the SSL certificate issued automatically. Several offers can share one domain on different paths.
You start from a product link or a template. Paste a product URL from a Shopify store, AliExpress, Amazon, eBay or most online shops, and the importer pulls the photos, price, description and specs, then writes the sales copy from those facts. There are 12 ready-made templates plus a blank page, 10 color themes and 33 block types, from a discounted price and a sale timer to reviews, bundles, a quiz and a spin-the-wheel discount. See it build a page from a real link on the demo page.
Orders go to you, not to a Shopify admin
The page ends in an order form, not a checkout: name, phone and the address fields for the buyer's country, with phone checks for 77 countries and duplicate filtering. Each order arrives in the dashboard and, if you turn them on, by email and Telegram. Meta, TikTok and Google pixels work from Start. On Pro, orders also go to Google Sheets, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Salesforce, Bitrix24, Kommo or Close, or to a webhook for Zapier and Make.
If you already have a Shopify store, LandEmpire orders do not appear in your Shopify admin by themselves. Pass them on with a webhook, or use LandEmpire for ad tests and keep the store for repeat buyers. More on the order flow in the COD landing page guide, and on Sheets in COD orders to Google Sheets.
What it doesn't do
LandEmpire has no cart, no card checkout and no product catalog: one page sells one product, with bundle options, and collects orders for cash on delivery or payment after confirmation. Orders do not sync to Shopify. Pages on Free, Start and Pro show a small Made with LandEmpire badge; Business removes it.
Plans are billed in USD through Paddle, our merchant of record (cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal); if your card is in another currency, your bank converts the amount. Pages are left-to-right only; Arabic and Hebrew layouts are not supported yet.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use GemPages or PageFly without a Shopify store?
No. Both are Shopify apps: pages are published into a Shopify theme and orders go through Shopify checkout. Zipify Pages works the same way. For pages without a store, look at Replo Sites or a standalone builder like LandEmpire.
What is Replo Sites?
It is Replo's product for standalone pages that run without a Shopify store. Pages are hosted on a replosites.com address or on your own domain, which starts with the paid Starter plan, and checkout goes through Shopify, Replo's own checkout or platforms like Stripe, PayPal and WooCommerce. As of November 2026, Starter is $99 a month billed annually.
Is there a free landing page builder that doesn't need Shopify?
Yes. LandEmpire's free plan includes one published page with all templates and blocks, 3 orders a month and two AI generations a month, with a small Made with LandEmpire badge. Paid plans are $8 (Start), $19 (Pro) and $39 (Business) a month, and Business removes the badge.
Can buyers pay by card on a LandEmpire page?
Not on the page itself: the form collects orders for cash on delivery or payment after confirmation. You can send buyers to your own payment link or thank-you page after the order, with their name, phone and order ID in the link. If you need a cart and card checkout, a Shopify builder or Replo is the better fit.
Can I import my Shopify product into LandEmpire?
Yes. Paste the product URL from your store: LandEmpire reads the product data Shopify publishes for each product and builds a separate landing page for ads from it.
Will LandEmpire orders show up in Shopify?
Not automatically. Orders stay in LandEmpire and go to your email, Telegram, Google Sheets, a CRM or a webhook. On Pro you can point a webhook at Zapier or Make to pass them further.
Does LandEmpire have A/B testing like PageFly?
Yes, from Pro: up to four versions of a page on Pro and six on Business, with a statistical significance check. There are no heatmaps; on Pro, analytics show scroll depth, which blocks people see and how many start the form and leave without ordering.
