1ecomm is the AI-native commerce platform that builds, runs and grows your store — online, in person and inside your own app. Everything from catalog to checkout to delivery, built in.
No card to start · connect your own payment account and keep what you sell
Your sales stay yours
You connect your own payment account, so shoppers pay you directly and the platform takes no commission on what you sell. Free to build; a paid plan when you open for business.
Everything built in
Payments, tax, delivery, inventory, orders, returns, promotions, ads across the major platforms, point-of-sale, multiple languages and a commerce API come standard — not a pile of paid plugins to assemble.
AI you can trust
AI drafts copy, layouts and catalogs as reviewable proposals, and the store assistant answers only from your own data. Nothing unverified reaches your live store.
From idea to open for business in four steps
Describe your business
Tell us what you sell in a sentence. That’s the whole brief.
AI builds your store
A matched look, a homepage, real copy and a starter catalog appear — or start from one of 51 designer templates instead.
Make it yours
Drag blocks, tweak the theme, add products. Ask AI to draft more — you approve every change.
Go live and sell
A guided checklist confirms your catalog, delivery and payment are ready, then you publish.
One platform for the whole business
Design & storefronts
A store that looks like it cost a fortune
Start from 51 designer storefronts you can walk through before you even sign up, then change every page yourself — no code, live preview, nothing published until you say so.
- 51 built-in templates, each a real browsable storefront rather than a screenshot
- Compare two looks side by side and switch themes without saving anything
- Build pages from a palette of 62 content blocks, with a touch editor for phones and tablets
- Draft, preview, publish — with an append-only revision history you can restore from
- Colour and type follow one theme, and contrast is checked for you so text stays readable
Catalog & inventory
Sell anything, keep it in stock
A real product catalog with variants, options and categories — plus one inventory ledger that stops overselling across every order, online and in store.
- Products, variants and option sets built for large, well-structured catalogs
- Turn a product title, a spec sheet or a photo of a label into a draft product you approve
- Bulk import with a review-before-publish preview
- One inventory ledger with reason-coded adjustments and a full audit trail
- Atomic stock checks, so two shoppers can’t buy the last item
- Wholesale price lists and volume tiers for trade customers, priced at checkout
Payments & tax
Get paid — and keep what you earn
You connect your own payment account, so card payments land in it directly and the platform takes no commission on your sales. Tax does the arithmetic for you.
- Your own payment account — shoppers pay you, not a middleman in between
- 0% platform commission on what you sell
- Apple Pay and Google Pay in one tap, charged to that same account of yours
- Cards that ask the bank for an extra check finish the payment instead of failing at it
- Authorize at checkout, then charge only when the order actually ships, with tracking as the evidence
- Automatic sales-tax calculation with per-store settings, exemptions and nexus rules
- Refunds return to the original payment method and reverse the tax correctly
- Fraud screening and address checks run on every order
Delivery & returns
Delivery prices that are always right
Your store works out every delivery price on its own servers, at every checkout. Never a number the browser can change, and never a blank where a price should be.
- Flat, free, weight-based, order-value and percentage rates, each enforced at checkout
- A built-in starter rate table, so checkout works from day one before you configure anything
- Live carrier quotes from a connected carrier account — currently a pilot we switch on per account
- Arrival dates only when the carrier gives one; your store never invents a delivery promise
- Tracking updates flow onto the shopper’s order automatically as the parcel moves
- Returns run through approval and inspection, then issue a real refund to the original card
Fulfilment
Ship it yourself, or let someone else
Three ways an order reaches the door, all on one catalog and one list of orders. Pick the one that fits this month, not the one you will need in three years.
- Ship it yourself — record the parcel and tracking, and your shopper can follow it to the door
- Let your supplier ship it — each line routes to the cheapest eligible supplier, with failover, and purchase orders are raised and chased for you
- Let a warehouse ship it — an external fulfilment network picks, packs and ships, arranged for your account rather than switched on by you
- Courier selection happens inside that network; the platform runs no bidding auction of its own
- Missed ship-by dates and delivery exceptions open a ticket with an owner, a clock and a real email
Retail & omnichannel
Sell in person, too
One catalog, online and in-store. Run a till, offer buy-online-pick-up-in-store, and grow into a network of locations or franchisees.
- Point of sale sharing your online catalog, prices and stock
- Take one sale part in cash and part on a card — the till shows what is still owed until it reaches zero
- Cash-drawer sessions, change calculated for you, and a counted close with the variance shown
- Card takings stay out of the drawer count, so a day of card sales never reads as a shortfall
- Buy online, pick up in store — stock held per location, with automatic hold expiry
- Store transfers, cycle counts and inbound receiving across every location
- Franchise networks with governed, effective-dated commission terms and routed assignments
Marketing & growth
Bring shoppers back
Run promotions, reward loyalty and build audiences from your own customer data. The growth tools are part of the platform, not an add-on you rent.
- Percentage, amount, buy-one-get-one and automatic discounts, enforced at checkout rather than merely displayed
- Gift cards, loyalty points and referrals that settle against the real order
- Private, invite-only sales with their own product selection, invitations and purchase caps
- Customer segments and email campaigns that reach only the people who opted in
- Complaints and hard bounces suppress an address automatically, across every store that has it
- Promo banners, newsletter sign-up and back-in-stock alerts
Ads & social · PromoteForge
Search, social and video ads, from one plan
Promote a published product through PromoteForge, one marketing workspace for search, social, shopping and video advertising — with approval before anything spends.
- Native connectors for Google, Meta (Facebook and Instagram), TikTok, LinkedIn, Microsoft, Pinterest, Snapchat, Amazon and Reddit ads
- YouTube video publishing, with TikTok, Instagram Reels and Facebook Page Reels posting opening per account
- Choose Promote on any published product and set a budget
- Growth plans checked for margin, stock and audience, and approved by a different teammate
- Each ad account is connected and verified before a campaign publishes there, and every step is recorded
AI assistants
An assistant on both sides of the counter
One assistant helps your shoppers decide and buy. Another helps you run the place. Both answer from your store’s real data — and neither invents a policy you would then be held to.
- A storefront assistant that answers from your catalog and the policies you publish
- It builds the shopper a tickable list and adds what is left to the cart in one tap
- It says it does not know rather than guessing — and stays off until you switch it on
- A merchant assistant that knows your setup, drafts plans and flags what needs you
- A searchable help center for you, your team and your shoppers
Tariffs & customs · TariffEasy
Know the duty before you ship
Selling across a border means an HTS code and an import duty on every product. 1ecomm connects to TariffEasy, our customs platform, through an app you install on your store: it suggests a code for each new product and stores an estimated US duty rate beside it.
- Install the HTS Duty Calculator from your store’s App Marketplace
- New products are classified automatically; you confirm or change the code
- Each product keeps its HTS code and an estimated duty rate
- TariffEasy itself adds a broker marketplace, landed-cost quotes and filing
Platform & developers
Built to extend, not to trap you
Your catalog, cart and checkout are available as an API, so the same store can power a custom site, a mobile app or a WordPress page — without leaving the platform behind.
- A headless commerce API with a publishable store key, plus SDKs and starter projects for web and mobile
- Your own domain, with a certificate issued and renewed for you
- Sell in several languages from one store, with AI translation you can override line by line
- An app marketplace, a developer App Studio, scoped permissions and signed webhooks
- Enterprise sign-in: passwordless email, app-based two-factor and organisation-wide policy
1ecomm vs. the usual options
Most platforms make you choose between simple and capable. 1ecomm is both — and it does not take a cut of what you sell.

Comparison reflects typical out-of-the-box setup. Competitor capabilities vary by plan and third-party apps. Live carrier rate quoting and warehouse fulfilment are enabled per account rather than self-serve, and there is no in-platform courier auction.
Simple, honest pricing
Free to build. Yours to keep when you sell.
Create your store, design it, add products and explore every feature at no cost. When you’re ready to open, you move to a paid plan — and the platform takes 0% commission on your sales. You connect your own payment account, so the money from every order lands in it, not in ours.
