WooCommerce alternative
The WooCommerce alternative with nothing to maintain.
WooCommerce means WordPress, a stack of plugins, and hosting you keep updated and secure. commerce.fyi removes all of it: describe what you sell and get a finished store with real Stripe checkout, orders, and refunds, hosted and maintained, with no plugin stack to manage.
One gives you parts. One gives you a store.

A store with no upkeep.
commerce.fyi runs the storefront for you. No WordPress to patch, no plugins to reconcile, no hosting to provision. You describe what you sell and get a working store, maintained.
