An e-shop is coming to CMS Craft sites
We are building a shop that any CMS Craft site can switch on. Here is what the first version will do, what already runs, and what is not ready yet.
Several of the people we build for want to sell a few things on their own site: a studio selling its devices, a shelter selling small items for charity. A separate shop platform is too much for that. So we are building a shop into CMS Craft itself, as a module any site can switch on.
What the first version will do
Physical products. Items you ship or hand over in person. A service with a fixed price works as an item without shipping. Bookings and digital downloads come later.
Sizes and other options. One option list per product, for example S, M, L, XL, with stock counted per option.
Delivery you choose. Free personal pickup, a Packeta pickup point the customer picks on a map at checkout, and home delivery at a flat price you set. You print Packeta labels in Packeta's own portal.
VAT handled for you. You enter the final price. If you are a VAT payer, you pick 21, 12 or 0 % per product and the cart, the order and the e-mails show the breakdown. If you are not, VAT never appears.
One currency per shop, CZK or EUR. Product texts in every language of your site; checkout and e-mails in the customer's language.
Legal pages you control. You supply your own terms; the shop provides the pages for them, the terms checkbox at checkout and the withdrawal form.
The money goes straight to you
Customers pay by QR bank transfer, and later also by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay through your own Stripe account. Payments go from the customer to you. CMS Craft never holds or forwards the money and takes no percentage of sales.
What runs today, and what does not yet
The order system, the order e-mails and the shop pages are built, and a demo shop is running on our shelter demo (shelter.cms-craft.com) with bank-transfer payment. Card payments are designed and approved, and wait on testing with Stripe before we switch them on.
The first version is for shops based in the Czech Republic. We will not announce a date until card payments pass testing.
