E-commerce without the overhead

Most platforms charge you twice — once for the subscription, once on every sale. PAYLOAD doesn’t work that way.

The Old Way

  • Monthly SaaS fees — even during your slowest months
  • Platform takes a cut of every transaction
  • Password resets, credential breaches, locked-out customers at 2am
  • Locked into a third-party platform you don’t control
  • Your inventory and order data lives on someone else’s servers

PAYLOAD

  • One deployment — no ongoing platform subscription costs
  • Every sale goes to you in full, no per-transaction platform cut
  • Passwordless login — customers sign in with a 6-digit email code
  • Runs on your VPS; StarCircuit deploys and manages it for you
  • You own your data, your inventory, and your order history

What’s Included — Light Tier

Everything you need to run a real online store. Nothing you don’t.

◇

Storefront

  • Public product grid with category filtering
  • Product detail pages with image gallery and thumbnail navigation

  • “Coming soon” mode — take the store offline instantly, no code required
◯

Cart & Checkout

  • Persistent shopping cart per customer
  • Real-time inventory reservation — stock held in cart to prevent overselling
  • Stripe payment processing (live or test mode)
  • Order confirmation page with full order summary
◻

Customer Accounts

  • Passwordless sign-in via 6-digit email verification code — no passwords ever stored

▣

Admin Dashboard

  • Full product management: create, edit, enable/disable, delete
  • Multi-image upload per product with main image selection
  • Live inventory tracking with automatic stock decrement on purchase and restore on cancellation or refund
  • Order management with status workflow: pending → paid → processing → shipped → delivered
  • Order analytics: revenue charts, top products, status breakdown, configurable date window
  • CSV order export with status and date filters
  • Customer and admin user management
◆

Security & Infrastructure

  • Rate limiting on all authentication endpoints — brute-force protection built in
  • JWT sessions with configurable expiry
  • Atomic file writes — no partial reads under concurrent traffic
  • Deployable behind nginx with TLS; integrates with any existing static site

Up and running in three steps

You handle the business. We handle everything else.

1

We deploy it for you

We provision PAYLOAD on your server, configure the web layer, enable TLS, and connect your Stripe account. You never open a terminal.

2

You manage your store

Add products, upload images, track stock, fulfil orders, and review sales analytics — all from a clean admin dashboard built for business owners, not developers.

3

Your customers shop

Visitors browse, add to cart, and check out with Stripe. No passwords to remember — just a quick 6-digit code sent to their inbox and they’re in.

Fits into your existing site

You don’t need a new domain or a full rebuild. PAYLOAD can live on a subdomain — shop.yourbusiness.com — or be proxied into a subpath on your current site at /shop/. Either way, it looks like part of your site and stays on your brand.

Already have a site managed by StarCircuit? We’ll wire PAYLOAD straight in. No migration, no disruption.
