Empretienda is for starting.
The question is what happens next.
For a first sale it is hard to beat: fast, cheap, in Spanish. The ceiling shows up when the business stops being just the store.
You start today
You sign up, load products and sell. To test whether your product has a market, it is the shortest and cheapest path.
Built for Argentina
Mercado Pago, Andreani, local invoicing. No translating a product designed for another country.
No entry cost
There is no implementation to pay for. If you are validating an idea, that matters more than any feature.
A store, not a site
If you also want articles, a branch directory or an institutional section, it no longer fits. We build those as modules of the same site.
The operation stays in spreadsheets
Customers, suppliers, quotes. The store sells; the rest of the business still lives in Excel and WhatsApp.
Branding has a limit
You adjust what the template lets you adjust. We work from your identity: type, color and structure are yours to configure.
Nobody builds it for you
Initial loading and catalog structure are your job. At PAVMedia they are ours, and then we train you so you do not need us.
| What you need | PAVMedia | Empretienda |
|---|---|---|
| Startup cost | Fee with implementation included. | Very low. Their biggest advantage. |
| Time to first sale | A few days, fully loaded. | Hours, loading it yourself. |
| More than a store | Articles, directory, institutional, bookings. | Store. |
| CRM and suppliers | Yes. | No. |
| Who loads the catalog | We do. | You do. |
| Brand control | Type, color and structure, yours. | Whatever the template allows. |

When does it make sense to leave Empretienda?
When the bottleneck stops being selling and becomes managing. If the store works but customers live in a spreadsheet, suppliers in WhatsApp and quotes in a Word file, switching store platforms fixes nothing: what is missing is the system around it. That is the moment.
Empretienda or PAVMedia to start from zero?
If you are still testing whether the product sells, start cheap: Empretienda or any low-cost builder. PAVMedia makes sense once you know the business works and what slows you down is the operation, not the shopfront.
