    You can use our checkout and order system but simply drop out the payment processing. Stripe makes this very easy and while people may not want to do it, by charging them a percent…

    Exactly, we went through four revisions of our pricing and I'm not sure we'll ever be certain it's the "right" one. We just knew we had to simplify it and after user feedback this …

    We also felt that it meant the people building the sites also had an incentive to be more careful about the way they did it - like sharing resources across a session and limiting t…

    That's the reason why we added the little bit of information about page-views to try and guide the user a little in case they had a store already. We very quickly know when a store…

    We've had a few people doing that, and we'll be forking our JavaScript SDK to natively support Node in the next week or two.

    Commercetools is a good platform and one of our closest competitors. The key differences are that our pricing scales a lot better, we don’t lock you into a single gateway or charge…

    Again, on the list - but if someone were to do one we'd be happy promote it ;)

    The beauty of an API approach is the features we don’t quite fully support can be easily created by you within your application, and then work alongside our product. We don’t expli…

    We have support for modifiers (size, colour, etc.), singles (gift wrapping, etc), input (custom options or labels). We’re working hard to make sure our new docs platform has all of…

    In short, Yes! But perhaps not soon. We have a really strong community ethos at Moltin, and we’re trying hard to open up as much of our platform as possible, both in open source an…

    Because we’re quicker and easier to implement. That gives the developer much more freedom to be creative with their application, especially if they’re working within a budget or sh…

    Hi there, co-founder here. A few of them do have an API offering, but there's a few issues with them - Firstly they’re bolted on the side, and aren’t usually functional enough to a…

    Hey co-founder here. Thanks, we're built on PHP, nginx, Postgres and redis running on AWS.

    Fantastic library, we've tried a few like it before and none of them really worked quickly or reliably enough. We did a quick mashup of our API and this to create a basic (but func…
