ShopiChain / Commerce solutions
What do
you sell?
A record ships in a sleeve. A download arrives in an account. A workshop needs a seat. Build your ShopiChain store around what happens after someone buys.
Selling models
What happens after checkout?
Choose a model to see the customer journey, the merchant’s work and the ShopiChain tools behind it.
Physical products
A fan chooses a vinyl pressing, checks the shipping cost and pays. The shop sees which variant to pack and how many copies remain.
- Store setup
- Use native catalog, stock and order management. Wishlist lets fans save releases privately or share a collection by link. Campaigns can apply sales-tier pricing to a specific pressing.
Digital products & software
A producer buys a sample pack or an audio plugin. One purchase delivers a file. The other can also grant a license with a defined number of activations.
- Store setup
- Use protected downloads for files and ShopiChain Licensing for software seats, updates and renewals. Sellers who distribute through WPBay or AppSumo can connect eligible purchases to the same licensing system.
Subscriptions & memberships
A listener joins a monthly release club. The merchant sets a renewal price and decides which releases and member spaces each plan includes.
- Store setup
- The commerce engine handles billing with its configured payment provider. The FluentCommunity bridge can bring shopping and customer account views into a community. Check the access rules for each paid space before opening membership.
Multi-vendor marketplaces
Several labels list releases in one shop. A customer discovers them through a shared catalog. The operator needs to trace each sold or refunded item back to its seller.
- Store setup
- Marketplace Engine links vendors to listings and records commission calculations. Review balances against the order before settling with sellers. Automated payout and dispute handling are proposed extensions.
Bookings & services
A studio wants to sell a seat in a mixing workshop. The seat has to stay available long enough to pay, and become available again if the hold expires.
- In development
- Bookings models services, availability and slot holds. Calendar synchronization and provider fulfillment are still being developed.
Live shopping
An artist demonstrates an instrument, features the matching product during the session and gives replay viewers a way to find it later.
- In development
- Live Shopping connects event records, featured products and replays. Streaming-provider connections are in development.
Store extensions
From discovery to access.
Three ways to extend a store once its catalog and checkout are in place.
Proposed add-ons
The work behind each order.
These proposals cover the work that grows with a store. They are candidates for future development.
- Shipping & returns
- Buy carrier labels, send tracking and tie an exchange to the original order.
- Inventory & POS
- Reserve stock by location and reconcile online orders with counter sales.
- Tax & accounting
- Match tax, provider fees and refunds to the entries in the merchant’s books.
- Wholesale
- Offer approved business accounts a quote, volume price and invoice terms.
- Customer retention
- Send consent-based cart reminders and restock notifications.
- Print on demand
- Route a paid item and its artwork to a print partner, then return tracking to the order.
