Detailed Review
Structure Hub is not a storefront platform like the rest of this list. It is a back-office that connects to the website a merchant already has, and takes over what happens after the order: invoices, shipping labels, payments, refunds and stock. It is published by SILEMA, a French EURL trading as the web agency Structure Web, in Montboucher-sur-Jabron.
Its focus is the French compliance side of selling online. Invoices are produced in the Factur-X format required by the French e-invoicing reform, numbered without gaps and sent to the merchant's accredited platform. Orders can also be keyed in by hand for sales at markets, in shops or by phone, and receipts print on A4 or on a ticket printer.
The commercial model is simple: a free version with no time limit, or the full version at €59 per month excl. VAT (€590 per year), with no commission on sales and no per-user fee. The trade-off is scope and language. Interface and support are in French only, and it does not provide a storefront, themes or a large module market the way PrestaShop or Shopware do.
What Structure Hub does well
- Free version with no time limit that can sell and invoice
- Factur-X e-invoicing built for the French reform
- No commission on sales and no per-user fee
- Connects to the existing website instead of replacing it
- French company, hosted by IONOS in the EU
Where Structure Hub falls short
- Interface and support in French only
- Not a storefront, so it needs an existing shop
- Much smaller ecosystem than PrestaShop or Shopware
- Young product with few public customer reviews
Standout feature. A free French back-office that handles e-invoices, shipping and refunds for the shop you already run.
