The ecommerce space isÌýgrowing more crowded these days asÌýnew players enter theÌýfray ofÌýaÌýcompetitive industry. But with aÌýgrowing number ofÌýchoices, itÌýcan beÌýhard toÌýknow what ecommerce platform isÌýright forÌýyour business.
When you’re shopping around, ask yourself: Does aÌýcertain platform care about
Or, onÌýtheÌýother hand, does itÌýlock you into its ecosystem ofÌýpayment portals ²¹²Ô»åÌýapps? Does itÌýnickel ²¹²Ô»åÌýdime you with fees onÌýtop ofÌýother fees? Does itÌýrequire aÌýdeveloper toÌýset upÌý²¹²Ô»åÌýmaintain customer stores?
InÌýother words, isÌýitÌý“monolithic”Ìý— meaning that once you join, it’s essentially impossible toÌýleave orÌýintegrate outside technologies ²¹²Ô»åÌýservices?
AtÌýºÚÁÏÃÅ, weÌýpride ourselves onÌýtheÌýfact that we’ve been focused onÌýhelping SMBs achieve success from day one. WeÌýthink it’s important that businesses ofÌýall sizes have theÌýability toÌýsell online using theÌýtechnology solutions they want toÌýuse, instead ofÌýbeing required toÌýuse them because ofÌýaÌýforced lack ofÌýoptions.
We’ve already touched onÌýwhy ºÚÁÏÃÅ isÌýbetter than our competitors inÌýother blog posts. But let’s look atÌýaÌýfew reasons why ºÚÁÏÃÅ isÌýtheÌýbest ecommerce platform forÌýpartners ofÌýevery size, industry, orÌýlevel ofÌýdevelopmentÌý— ²¹²Ô»åÌýhow weÌýleave our competitors inÌýtheÌýdust.
1.ÌýWeÌýhave anÌýopen ecosystem
Unlike many ofÌýour competitors, weÌýplay nice with other technology services. When you join theÌýºÚÁÏÃÅ platform, weÌýwill never lock you out from using aÌýcertain payment gateway, POS system, logistics provider, orÌýother business solution. WeÌýdon’t have our own “ºÚÁÏÃÅPay” system that weÌýforce you toÌýuse, forÌýexample. And unlike our competitors, weÌýwill never chargeÌýany transaction fees forÌýusing theÌýsolution ofÌýyour choice.
Instead, weÌýwork toÌýintegrate new companies, providers, ²¹²Ô»åÌýtechnologies every day. That’s because weÌýbelieve that working together makes all ofÌýusÌýstronger ²¹²Ô»åÌýmore successful. Instead ofÌý“Less isÌýmore,” inÌýthis case weÌýbelieveÌýmore isÌýmoreÌý— that is, our customers ²¹²Ô»åÌýtheir merchants should beÌýable toÌýuse theÌýtechnology they like toÌýhelp achieve their business goals.
WeÌýkeep our platform’s ecosystem open soÌýthat more solutions are open ²¹²Ô»åÌýavailable toÌýour users.
2.ÌýWeÌýoffer aÌýcustomizable partner program
Some ofÌýour competitors offer opportunities toÌýpartner with their platforms, but none ofÌýthem offer theÌýlevel ofÌýchoice ²¹²Ô»åÌýcustomization that ºÚÁÏÃÅ does. AsÌýaÌýbusiness partner, you can choose theÌýmodel you want toÌýuse toÌýsell theÌýºÚÁÏÃÅ ecommerce platform inÌýaÌýfew different ways:
- ReferÌý— Get ²¹²Ô»åÌýgive aÌýspecific link toÌýyour customers toÌýsign upÌýonÌýtheÌýºÚÁÏÃÅ platform onÌýtheir own, ²¹²Ô»åÌýyou’ll get aÌý$100Ìýcommission forÌýeach paying user you refer.
Co-branded Ìý— Feature your branding right alongside ºÚÁÏÃÅ’s soÌýthat your customers know ²¹²Ô»åÌýtrust your ecommerce solution asÌýbeing among theÌýbest.
Depending onÌýtheÌýmethod with which you choose toÌýsell ecommerce, ºÚÁÏÃÅ offers aÌýwide range ofÌýcustomization options that enable you toÌýsell ecommerce theÌýwayÌýyou wantÌý— with your branding ²¹²Ô»åÌýlogos next toÌýyour other services.

3.ÌýWeÌýprovide aÌýheadless commerce solution
InÌýaddition toÌýour various partnership options, ºÚÁÏÃÅ also offers anÌýarray ofÌýdeveloper tools that enable you toÌýfurther customize theÌýecommerce experience your customers will receive. These include our robust APIs ²¹²Ô»åÌýSDKs, such asÌýour headless SDK, which takes customization ²¹²Ô»åÌýoptimization aÌýstep further than even some ofÌýour other partnership options.
AsÌýyou’ll know, SDKs orÌý“software development kits” are what developers use toÌýcreate new applications forÌý²¹²Ô»åÌýenhancements toÌýaÌýgiven software platform. With ºÚÁÏÃÅ’s headless SDK, businesses can add ºÚÁÏÃÅ’s powerful ecommerce solution toÌýtheir platform orÌýwebsite without being tied toÌýaÌýcertain user interface. This level ofÌýtruly seamless integration ²¹²Ô»åÌýcomplete customization just isn’t offered (and isn’t possible) byÌýour competitors.
*Ìý*Ìý*Ìý*Ìý*
WeÌýhope this gives some insight into why weÌý(and our partners) believe ºÚÁÏÃÅ isÌýtheÌýbest ecommerce solution forÌýbusinesses ofÌýall sizes, but SMBs inÌýparticular. AsÌýmany business owners can attest, SMBs have tight margins ²¹²Ô»åÌýcan’t really afford toÌýstart over with all ofÌýtheÌýsoftware ²¹²Ô»åÌýapplications they use just because aÌýplatform they use mandates it.
SMBs need toÌýbeÌýable toÌýbeÌýfluid inÌýterms ofÌýtheÌýtechnology solutions they use asÌýtheÌýmarket changes ²¹²Ô»åÌýtheir business adapts with it. One ofÌýtheÌýgreat things about ºÚÁÏÃÅ isÌýhow customizable ²¹²Ô»åÌýscalable itÌýis: merchants can easily modify ²¹²Ô»åÌýadjust their online stores toÌýreflect their business needs.
But it’s not just merchants ²¹²Ô»åÌýonline store owners that need adaptability. Our ecommerce platform isÌýbuilt toÌýbeÌýflexible toÌýreflect theÌý
SoÌýasÌýyou’re looking atÌýecommerce options forÌýyour SMB customers, ask yourself what makes more sense forÌý²â´Ç³Ü°ùÌýbusiness:
AÌýplatform that:
- isÌýmore expensive;
- forces you toÌýuse certain software, which don’t work with other solutions;
- ²¹²Ô»åÌýlocks your business into its platform ecosystem?
OrÌýºÚÁÏÃÅ, theÌýplatform that:
- costs less;
- works seamlessly with social media, major retailers ²¹²Ô»åÌýanyÌýexisting business website;
- ²¹²Ô»åÌýconstantly adds new software ²¹²Ô»åÌýsolution integrations?
The choice isÌýpretty clear toÌýusÌý²¹²Ô»åÌýmany other business owners across theÌýworld. But theÌýquestion is: are you ready toÌýmake business easier forÌýyour selfÌý— ²¹²Ô»åÌýyour customers?
