Opening your own online store: For many interested parties, their limited technical know-how stands between this desire and its realization. The risk of high upfront investments or long-term contractual obligations also puts many prospective online retailers off.
To help new sellers overcome these two hurdles elegantly, we have added new, flexible listings to our portfolio. Our JTL-Shop Community Free Edition is now also available as a cost-effective hosting option. The Multishop module and the payment module are now also available as a monthly subscription.
JTL-Shop Community Free Edition hosted directly by us
Many of you are already familiar with the Community Free Edition of our online shop software JTL-Shop, which is limited to 500 items, paired with our ERP JTL-Wawi as a free introduction to online business. However, not everyone interested in eCommerce has the knowledge or time to deal with the details of setting up this software. Our hosting variant of CFE minimizes the effort required to get started: there is no need to set up, purchase and maintain your own servers. Instead, for a monthly fee of €14.99, users can place these services in the experienced hands of our hosting department. We also take care of the regularly required updates of the store version.
Our online shop software JTL-Shop in the Community Free Edition is automatically included in the hosting package. The package also includes an SSL certificate, 50 GB of web space, unlimited traffic, 50 email inboxes, three databases and high-performance Redis caching. This form of caching ensures that your online store responds quickly even with high visitor counters.
Book a hosting package and get started right away
You can book CFE hosting directly in the JTL-Customer Centre. If you start with a brand new, free domain, the setup of your JTL-Shop Community Free Edition in the hosting package is fully automatic. Would you like to move a test shop or a JTL-Shop hosted by a third-party provider to us? This is also possible without any problems. We will carry out the data transfer manually during our business hours. Is your desired domain already taken? Then we will be happy to carry out a DNS forwarding or a KK order for the transfer.
As soon as the store has been created, you will receive your access by email. You can start designing and filling your store straight away. The integrated, responsive template supports you as an elegant design template for the attractive presentation of your listings on all devices.

Improved hosting of the JTL-Shop Standard Edition
Of course, the hosting listing for our JTL-Shop Standard Edition should be in no way inferior to CFE Hosting. That’s why we have also increased the scope of the Standard hosting. With 50 GB of web space, unlimited traffic, 50 email inboxes, three databases and Redis caching, our established hosting variant has significantly more performance.
Changes for existing customers
Customers who have already booked our standard hosting for JTL-Shop 4 will also benefit from the new features: All new services will be automatically transferred to your hosting from July 1, 2017. The only restriction is the new Redis Caching: For technical reasons, an update to JTL-Shop 4.05 is required. Have you booked additional services with us that are now part of standard hosting? Then your previous extra costs will no longer apply.
For users of JTL-Shop 3 in Standard Hosting, everything remains as it was. You are not affected by the changes. If you would also like to benefit from the new hosting services, you can easily update your hosting package to JTL-Shop 4. To do this, book the hosting variant “JTL-Shop 4: Standard Edition” in the JTL-Customer Centre under Hosting > To the listing. We will then arrange a date for the upgrade with you.
Update-Hinweis (Stand: 12.2022)
Die technische Unterstützung für JTL-Shop 4 wurde im November 2022 eingestellt. Wir empfehlen allen Shop-Usern dringend das kostenfreie Upgrade auf JTL-Shop 5.
Multishop and payment module in subscription
The Multishop module and the recently released payment module for JTL-Wawi are now available as flexible monthly subscriptions. The former allows the integration of any number of online stores to JTL-Wawi for one client. The new payment module, on the other hand, enables direct payment reconciliation with HBCI / FinTS accounts and PayPal accounts from the ERP. Both modules were previously only available as a 12-month license. Merchants who want more planning freedom and would like to adapt their additional modules to their needs at short notice can book the modules for a monthly price of €29.99 (Multishop) or €14.99 (payment reconciliation).
Conclusion
Good for new sellers and small merchants in particular, our new solutions offer a good springboard to take their online business to the next level with minimal investment and no long-term commitments. The JTL-Shop Community Free Edition in the low-cost hosting package as well as the Multishop and the payment module for JTL-Wawi in the monthly rental price offer you more flexibility when planning your business.
