Stores you own, not rent.
Shopify rents you your own checkout, takes a cut of every order, and the one feature you need is usually one plan tier up. I built this one on Medusa instead: the cart rules, the checkout and the customer data sit on the owner's server, and the bill stops growing with their revenue. Click through the panel — and ask its assistant to fill the cart for you, because that part is a live model, not a script.
- →An assistant that sells — it answers the pre-purchase question, then puts the right thing in the cart.
- →No cut of every order and no stack of app subscriptions creeping up the monthly bill.
- →A checkout you can change — bundles, deposits, subscriptions, whatever your business actually sells.
- →Your data on your server so you can move host without rebuilding the shop.
