Cartel is a complete store platform — products, checkout, orders, emails, shipping labels — where every payment settles straight into your own payment account. No platform fees. No lock-in. Merchants anywhere.
If you have run a Shopify store, you will feel at home in under a minute — the same layout, the same words, none of the fees.
Variants, a media library, metafields, smart collections on any field (tags, vendor, price, options, metafields), pre-orders, low-stock notices and back-in-stock alerts. Inventory per variant with a full adjustment history and CSV export.
Guest checkout with address forms that fit every country, discount codes, automatic discounts and shareable discount links, gift cards with a balance page, free-shipping progress, local pickup, express and crypto payments — all on your own domain.
Connect your own Stripe or Revolut account (or a wallet for crypto). Money never passes through the platform: no platform fees, no held funds, no payout schedule.
Shopify-style order pages, partial fulfilment and refunds, invoices and packing slips (single or in bulk), Swiss Post labels with a carrier interface ready for more, tracking emails and a self-serve returns flow.
Every notification — order, shipping, refund, returns, abandoned checkouts, back in stock, review requests, staff digests — ships in eleven languages with product images, editable down to the HTML, with previews and test sends.
Passwordless accounts with profiles and saved addresses, wishlists, Buy again, invoice downloads, reviews with replies, segments, bulk tagging, a customer timeline and GDPR export in one click.
Sales, top products, countries, taxes for your accountant, sessions, conversion, returning customers and top referrers — a dashboard, not a data warehouse.
A fast, accessible storefront with a section-based editor, pickers for products, collections, pages and images, announcement bars, custom CSS, navigation, redirects, structured data and pixels. Import a Shopify theme to keep your look.
Nothing in Cartel assumes a country. Local depth comes from country packs; the core works everywhere from day one.
Prices, rounding and formatting per currency — including zero-decimal ones — plus presentation currencies for visitors.
Destination-based rate tables for any country or region, tax-inclusive or exclusive pricing, tax categories per product, invoices that satisfy accountants.
English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Swedish, Japanese and Arabic out of the box — right-to-left included — and every phrase rewordable for any other language.
Postal codes, regions and field order follow the destination country; weights in kg or lb; time zones per store.
Switching cost is what keeps merchants on platforms they have outgrown. Cartel works in both directions.
Pick a country and a name. Cartel sets up currency, taxes, language and units for it — change any of them later.
