Commerce

A complete commerce engine behind your own website

Catalogue, basket and checkout, promotions, shipping, tax and instant search, all through one API. Customers pay into your own Stripe or PayPal account, and we take nothing from your sales.

  • No fees on your sales
  • Stripe and PayPal on your own accounts
  • Every order on the customer’s CRM record

Why Elara One Commerce

Built for shops that have outgrown templates

  • Instead of: A cut of every sale

    No fees on your sales

    Payments go to your own Stripe or PayPal account. You pay a monthly plan and nothing per order.

  • Instead of: A shop, a CRM and an email tool

    One customer record

    Every order lands on the customer’s record, beside their enquiries, messages and tasks.

  • Instead of: A theme you work around

    Your own website

    Build in Next.js, Nuxt or anything that speaks HTTP. Checkout, stock and tax run behind it.

  • Instead of: The last lamp sold twice

    Stock that adds up

    Stock is locked as the order is placed, so you never sell the last one twice.

Run the shop

Everything after “Add to basket”

Shipping, tax, search and order emails are built in. Set them up in the admin and your website reads them through the API.

Checkout

Checkout that never oversells

What happens in the second between “Pay £157.00” and the confirmation email.

  1. Stock is locked as the order is placed

    The stock for every item in the basket is locked inside the step that places the order. Two people buying the last lamp at once cannot both get it.

  2. Payment goes to your account

    Stripe or PayPal takes the payment on your own account. Card details go straight to them and never touch Elara One or your website.

  3. A decline changes nothing

    If the card is declined, there is no order and no stock change. Your storefront gets a clear decline code to show the customer.

  4. Exactly one order

    Each checkout carries an Idempotency-Key, so a retry or a double click can never place a second order. Promotion limits are checked at the same moment.

    Follow up when an order is placed, dispatched, delivered or cancelled.

  • Inbox

FAQ

Questions about Commerce

Anything else you want to know before you build your shop?

Do you take a fee on each sale?
No. You pay your monthly plan and nothing per order. Payments go straight to your own Stripe or PayPal account, and those providers charge their usual processing fees.
Do I need a developer?
Commerce is headless: your website talks to Elara One through the API, so someone needs to build or adapt the site. Our starter storefronts for Next.js, Nuxt and Astro give a developer a working shop to start from. Book a demo and we will talk it through.
Which payment methods can customers use?
Cards through Stripe’s Payment Element, and PayPal. Both run on your own accounts, so card details go to Stripe or PayPal and never touch Elara One. The starter storefronts take Stripe today; PayPal is ready in the API.
How do you stop the same item selling twice?
Stock is locked as the order is placed, so you never sell the last one twice. A declined card leaves no order and no stock change, and each checkout carries an Idempotency-Key so a retry can never place a second order.
Can I sell outside the UK?
Yes. Shipping zones can cover everywhere, chosen countries, UK postcode areas or districts, or a radius, and tax zones work out the tax for each line. Elara One is used worldwide, with UK detail such as postcode zones built in.
Can customers check out without an account?
Yes. Guest checkout is built in, with guest order lookup. Customers who create an account get an address book, order history and self-service account deletion.
Do I get the CRM with Commerce?
Yes. Every Commerce plan includes everything in the matching Leads plan, so orders, contacts, forms, flows and the inbox share one customer record.
