Commerce solutions
Find your selling model.
A shipped order needs stock and tracking. A software purchase needs a license. Build the buying experience around the product. Compare selling models →
Products & subscriptions
Connect the catalog, variants, stock, checkout, and customer account. Support one-time and recurring purchases through the commerce engine you choose.
Digital products & licenses
Turn a purchase into access. Manage local-first entitlements, activation limits, renewals, and protected software delivery around the terms you sell.
Multi-vendor marketplaces
Bring sellers together under your brand. Connect listings to their vendors and manage reviews, commissions, releases, and sales or refund balances.
Bookings & services
In development
Connect services, availability, and checkout through Bookings. Calendar execution and provider integrations are being developed around those foundations.
Live shopping
In development
Link a demonstration or product launch to the things being sold. Session records, product-to-stream connections, and replay references form the starting point.
Campaigns & wishlists
Set sales-tier pricing for native products. Give shoppers a place to save favorites and return to them across supported storefronts.
Storefront architecture
From product view
to checkout.
The first page arrives with readable content. Vue then handles supported product views and cart actions without a full-page reload.
Optional background work
Keep checkout on your store and move supported jobs, such as building a search index, to a compatible worker when you need more capacity.
Checkout and customer records
With WooCommerce, shoppers browse and add items through ShopiChain. WooCommerce handles payment, shipping, tax and the order record.
Checks that belong on the server
Native checkout calculates totals and rechecks price and stock. Account ownership checks and protected software delivery support the workflows around the order.

Ecosystem integration
ShopiChain + Winkdom
ShopiChain runs the commerce side of your business. Pair it with Winkdom to bring product discovery, site content and customer accounts into a shared Vue experience.
A software studio, for example, can publish a product guide with Winkdom and use ShopiChain to take the order, grant a license and deliver the download.
Platforms & migration
Where will your
store run?
WordPress runs the ShopiChain storefront today. EmDash and Winkdom CMS offer two different directions for businesses planning their next platform.
Available today
WordPress
Build a shop with the free ShopiChain eCommerce foundation, or connect an existing WooCommerce catalog to the ShopiChain storefront. WooCommerce can continue handling checkout, tax, shipping and order history.
ShopiChain integration in development
EmDash
This open-source CMS runs on Astro. Its WordPress importer can bring over pages, posts and media. Licensing is an early focus of ShopiChain’s native EmDash work.
Planned platform
Winkdom CMS
Winkdom’s own CMS is designed around Go services and PostgreSQL. Go can handle many storefront requests concurrently. PostgreSQL transactions can keep an order and its stock changes consistent. The standalone ShopiChain roadmap includes serverless deployment on this stack.
What can move with your store?
A site move can involve pages, media, customer accounts, subscriptions and access rights. Each transfer depends on the data and the direction of travel.
- WordPress to EmDash
- Start with EmDash’s content import. Moving a product catalog, order history or recurring billing requires a supported commerce migration for those records.
- EmDash to WordPress
- Selected Winkdom Builder pages have returned as draft copies in migration tests. That gives an editor a chance to check the layout before publishing.
- To and from Winkdom CMS
- Transfers between Winkdom CMS and both WordPress and EmDash are planned in each direction. Product, customer, order and license coverage will be specified for each route.
