02Orders & Subscriptions

Every order and renewal on one timeline

Explore Orders & Subscriptions

    Placement, payment, fulfilment and returns on one record every suite can read.

  • Renewals that bend

    Pause, skip, upgrade or prorate a plan mid-cycle without rewriting the order.

    Split an order into shipments and send the customer a tracking link for every parcel.

  • Events, not polling

    100+ signed webhooks fire the moment an order changes state.

03Payments

Capture anywhere, reconcile in one place

Explore Payments
  • One payment sheet

    Cards, UPI, wallets, net banking and pay-later behind a single PCI-compliant flow.

  • Smart routing

    A failed authorisation reroutes to the next gateway before the customer notices.

  • Captures & refunds

    Take part of an authorisation, refund part of a capture, both against the same order.

  • Settlement that ties out

    Captures, refunds and payouts reconcile against the order, not a separate ledger.

04Shipping

Priced before checkout, packed in 3D

Explore Shipping
  • Warehouses and zones

    Ship from the first location with everything in stock, through the couriers linked to the shopper's zone.

  • Live rates before checkout

    Every linked courier quotes the parcel, the best is picked and your shipping rules set the price before payment.

  • Packed in 3D

    Orders packed into the right boxes, with the chargeable weight worked out before the courier weighs them.

  • Delivery insights

    Early, on time and late deliveries by carrier, state and city, with time to ship and time in transit.

    Click-and-collect and delivery options come back together for every cart.

Questions

What teams ask
before they build

Nine suites on one engine raises the same handful of questions every time. These are the answers we give on the first call.

  • Is Commerce Engine headless, or does it come with a storefront?

    Both, and you pick. Every capability is a REST API first, so you can build any front end against it — or start from a production storefront starter for Next.js, React, Astro or SvelteKit. If you would rather not build a checkout at all, use Hosted Checkout. Browse the starters

  • Do we have to adopt all nine suites?

    No. Wire the suites you need and let the rest sit quietly until you want them. They all read and write the same records, so turning one on later is a configuration change rather than a migration.

  • Does it handle B2B as well as D2C?

    One engine covers both. B2B customer groups, KYC validation and multi-warehouse stock run alongside ordinary D2C checkout, on the same catalog, order and customer records — so you are not maintaining two platforms to serve two kinds of buyer.

  • How do the suites stay in sync with each other?

    There is nothing to sync. One data model and one event stream sit under all of them, so a capture, a loyalty accrual and a shipment are events on the order you already have — and 100+ signed webhooks fire the moment state changes, instead of a nightly export. Read the API reference

  • What does a developer get on day one?

    A sandbox, a typed SDK and a project that already talks to the API. One command scaffolds a starter on your framework — client, session handling and environment written for you — or writes the Commerce Engine layer into the repo you already have. Storefront quickstart

  • Can our AI coding agents build against it?

    That is a first-class path, not an afterthought. Installing the Commerce Engine skills teaches an agent the platform, the docs publish an llms.txt for machine reading, and every SDK surface is typed — so what an agent writes type-checks against the real API before it ships.

  • Which payment methods and gateways are supported?

    Cards, UPI, wallets, net banking and pay-later sit behind one PCI-compliant flow, across multiple gateways. A failed authorisation reroutes to the next gateway before the customer notices, and captures, refunds and payouts reconcile against the order rather than a separate ledger. Payments in detail

  • Is there a free plan?

    Yes — the Free plan costs nothing, needs no credit card, and every plan gets every online feature and a sandbox from day one. Paid tiers start when you outgrow it, and the pricing page lists exactly what each one includes. Compare plans

  • Do we have to replatform to get started?

    No. Point one flow at Commerce Engine — checkout, loyalty, shipping, whichever hurts most — and run it alongside what you have. Because every suite shares the same records, expanding later costs configuration, not another migration project.

  • Can we keep our CMS, ERP and warehouse systems?

    Yes. Content stays in your headless CMS and syncs in real time, carriers and 3PL partners connect once and then rate-shop per shipment, and everything else integrates against the same REST API the storefront uses. See the catalog's CMS sync
