Show HN: Commerce – Drop in e-commerce for any website

17 pointsby kaishiroover 5 years ago
Hey HN. I&#x27;m Matt White, co-founder of Commerce, along with Nathan Martin (centipixel) and Daniel Newman (over-engineered). Commerce is a drop-in e-commerce platform for any website from a single line of JavaScript. You can find us here: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;static.tools&#x2F;commerce<p>With this single include, you get a shopping cart, account registration and login (Email, Google, Facebook, etc), live shipping quotes, invoicing, and the ability to sell complex product variants (composite&#x2F;configurable products, delta pricing, fractional pricing, wholesale pricing, etc). Much of this is configurable via an administrative interface we&#x27;ve built up alongside the product.<p>From individual clients we&#x27;ve onboarded onto the system, we&#x27;ve already processed over 2 million dollars in transactions - a drop in the bucket compared to most of the other players in the market, but we&#x27;re proud of it!<p>Before Commerce, the three of us consulted full-time as a team with a focus on static&#x2F;Jamstack sites. We have over 30 years of agency and consulting experience between us (we&#x27;re all mid-30s). Commerce was born out of a need to supply an e-commerce solution to a client, while still maintaining a static build. It was so successful, we decided to split off the product as it&#x27;s own business, and Commerce was born.<p>As a company, we applied (late) to YC&#x27;s W19 batch and didn&#x27;t make the cut - and are currently working through Startup School as we work towards a full public launch. We&#x27;re hoping to follow-up with a Launch HN in the coming weeks, but in the meantime this is our first time exposing the product to anyone who isn&#x27;t a direct client of ours, so we&#x27;re happy to take questions. And if it&#x27;s a product you&#x27;re interested in, we&#x27;d love it if you hopped over to https:&#x2F;&#x2F;static.tools&#x2F;commerce and signed up for our launch announcements.<p>Thanks!<p>Site: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;static.tools<p>Demo: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;demo.static.tools<p>Docs: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.static.tools

I tried building commerce systems in a few Vue&#x2F;Nuxt js sites and figured out that building the backend part of that is in a very bad shape right now.<p>You either have to custom code everything or use woocommerce or Magento APIs.<p>Getting woocommerce or wordpress system to work as API is very difficult and poorly implemented with multiple plugins to manage register, cart, orders, payments etc.<p>Implementing a full blown Magento install for this is just overkill.<p>I looked into couple of hosted SaaS in this space and they were too new with limited functionality.<p>Glad this space is picking up. All the best.

What would the benefits be for this compared to Magento or Shopify?

Looks interesting. What technology stack is this based on?
