Commerce Shop (Hybrid E-Commerce Core CMS Plugin)

Commerce Shop: Hybrid E-commerce for Core CMS

The Commerce Shop plugin is a robust, lightweight e-commerce solution built specifically for Core CMS. It provides a versatile hybrid storefront system that supports native checkouts, Merchant of Record integration, and affiliate-driven product fulfillment.

Core Features & Architecture

Maintaining the Lightweight Core philosophy, the plugin isolates e-commerce functionality from blog content. It utilizes a PHP Session and AJAX-powered Cart API to ensure fast, secure transactions without database bloat.

• External/Affiliate Swag: Seamlessly redirect users to Print-on-Demand providers like Printful or TeeSpring, eliminating local tax and shipping burdens.
• Digital Downloads: Offload tax compliance and file delivery to Lemon Squeezy, with local automated license key generation.
• Physical Goods: Native support for Stripe and PayPal with a full fulfillment dashboard for managing shipping, tracking, and local inventory.

Secure & Optimized Experience

Commerce Shop is built with security and maintainability in mind:

• Protected Digital Assets: Files are stored in a restricted directory with token-based streaming validation to prevent unauthorized downloads.
• Webhook Infrastructure: Securely process transactions from external gateways with signature verification handshakes.
• Admin Fulfillment Center: Easily manage orders, print packing slips, and update customers with tracking numbers via a dedicated dashboard.
• Zero Residue Policy: Uninstallation clean-up scripts ensure all database tables, options, and uploaded files are purged to keep your CMS footprint minimal.
