Every Feature Inside the Tokoo E-commerce Platform, Free and Paid
A complete tour of what a Tokoo store actually ships with: the storefront editor, product catalogue, checkout options, back office and SEO tools — and exactly what's free forever versus paid.
18 July 2026 · 4 min read
Tokoo is a full e-commerce platform, and it's worth walking through what that actually includes — because the feature set is what separates a store builder from a page builder or a blog. Here's every layer, grounded in what's actually shipped, not a roadmap.
The short version
- Free already includes WhatsApp ordering, the block editor, coupons and multi-location inventory.
- Paid plans raise limits and add online payments, custom domain and per-product SEO.
- Growth/Pro are capacity tiers over Starter, not feature-exclusive tiers.
Storefront: the block editor and theme designer
Every store is built from a drag-and-drop block editor with 19 block types — banners, carousels, countdown timers, FAQ accordions, product grids, testimonials, image galleries, newsletter signup and more — edited in draft, previewed, then published. A structured theme designer controls brand colour, accent colour, fonts, corner radius and page width platform-wide, without exposing free-form CSS that would let one bad edit break the whole page. Four ready-made templates (Classic Store, Brand Story, Food & Restaurant, Single Product) apply a matching block layout and theme in one click, each with its own live preview page.
Catalog: variants, multi-location stock, bilingual content
Products support up to three variant attribute types (like size and colour), each combination with its own SKU, price and photo. Stock is tracked per location — deducted automatically in priority order at checkout, and a single order can be split across locations transactionally if one location runs short. Low-stock badges show on the product list and the storefront. Product names, descriptions and categories can be filled in a second language, falling back to the primary language wherever a translation is missing.
Checkout: WhatsApp, manual payments, gateway, coupons
WhatsApp ordering — a prefilled message that opens straight into a chat — is the permanently free, core checkout mode. Merchants can also switch on manual methods (bank transfer, Touch 'n Go eWallet, DuitNow QR) independently, or an online gateway (ToyyibPay, covering FPX and cards) that confirms payment automatically. Coupons — percentage or fixed discounts, minimum spend, usage caps, per-customer limits — are available on every plan.
Back office: orders, team, SEO, dashboard
| Feature | Free | Starter+ |
|---|---|---|
| Products | Up to 20 | 200 / 1,000 / unlimited |
| Staff accounts | 1 (owner only) | 3 / 5 / unlimited |
| Online payment gateway | — | Included |
| Custom domain | — | Included |
| Per-product SEO & Google Shopping data | — | Included |
| Hide "Powered by Tokoo" badge | — | Included |
| WhatsApp ordering, coupons, multi-location inventory | Included | Included |
Order management covers the full lifecycle — pending, confirmed, shipped, completed or cancelled — with stock re-validated and deducted server-side at the moment of purchase, not just at checkout time. Staff accounts carry role-based permissions (owner, admin, staff), a guided 5-step setup wizard gets a new store to "ready to take orders," and a store health score (0–100) points to the three fastest improvements at any time.
SEO comes built in, not bolted on
Every store gets a per-store sitemap, robots.txt, and JSON-LD structured data (Store, Product breadcrumbs) automatically. Per-product SEO overrides and full Product schema for Google Shopping rich results are a Starter+ feature.

What does the Free plan on Tokoo actually include?+
A fully working store: WhatsApp ordering, the drag-and-drop block editor and theme designer, up to 20 products with multi-location inventory, customer accounts, coupons, and per-store SEO — no credit card required.
What's the difference between Growth and Pro if the features are the same?+
Today, Starter, Growth and Pro differ mainly by capacity — product limit, image storage, and staff seats. All three unlock online payments, a custom domain and per-product SEO at the Starter level already.
Does Tokoo support multiple warehouses or pickup points?+
Yes — multi-location inventory is included on every plan, with unlimited locations. Stock is deducted by location priority at checkout, and one order can split across locations automatically.
Can I run my store in both English and Chinese?+
Yes. Each store chooses which languages to enable and a primary language; product names, descriptions and categories can be filled in per language, and the storefront and admin interface are both bilingual.
