Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

BackToMe

  • The scope is European consumer law. A merchant selling outside the EU has no use for it.
  • The site and dashboard are French. The customer-facing button covers 24 EU languages, but the merchant side is not multilingual.
  • One price, one feature set. There is no tier for a shop that wants only the archive or only the button.
  • It runs as an injected script on the storefront, so a shop with a strict content security policy has an extra step before the button will render.
  • A young French vendor with no independent review coverage, so there is nothing outside the vendor's own material to corroborate the archive's evidentiary weight.

TikTok Shop

  • 6% commission per sale reduces profit margins compared to self-hosted e-commerce
  • Incentive program ($23,630 max) is limited to new sellers and specific merchants
