Download websites that use Gambio

A shop platform is one of the few pieces of web software whose entire user base consists, by definition, of businesses that sell things. Gambio GmbH has been building one since 2004, from Germany and largely for the German speaking market, and the priorities are visible in the product: the payment methods German buyers expect, invoice and instalment providers among them, plus the legal text handling that German distance selling rules impose on every storefront.

Gambio is Proprietary and written in PHP, sold both as a cloud plan the vendor hosts and as a self hosted licence the merchant installs on its own server. A merchant running it is paying a supplier for shop software either way, and is committed in a way that a free page builder never indicates. Where the merchant keeps the install, the upgrade burden sits with the merchant, which is why installed bases of self hosted shop software age in visible layers.

As of October 2026 we record Gambio on 4,918 sites. The population behind the figure is narrow and unusually coherent, small and mid sized retailers trading in euros, most of them shipping physical goods, most of them operating in a handful of neighbouring countries. Anyone selling into that group, whether payment processing, shipping and label software, product feed management, marketplace integration or accounting connectors, is looking at qualified prospects rather than at a list of websites.

Coherence is what makes the regional platforms more valuable per row than the global ones. A list of every shop on a worldwide hosted platform is enormous and undifferentiated. A list of merchants on a national platform already encodes country, business size, currency, regulatory regime and, roughly, the kind of agency that built the site, without any of that having to be inferred later.

One domain checked by hand tells you what a competitor runs. The full list tells you the market, how many merchants a plugin vendor could address, whether a retail category clusters on self hosted software or on the hosted alternatives, and how the installed base moves as merchants migrate. Detection reads artefacts the storefront exposes, template paths, cookie names and markup conventions, and a heavily rewritten theme or an aggressive edge cache in front of the shop can remove them, so the count is a lower bound. We also cannot see whether a shop is actually trading. A dormant storefront and a busy one look identical from outside.
