The standard stack is the platform
Most of what merchants pay for monthly — reviews, email, segments, affiliates, analytics — is not really an app. It's the standard stack, unbundled and sold back to you. On eCrate it is simply part of the product, and there is no tier that unlocks it.
A catalog and a checkout that hold up
Products with variants, options, inventory and a media library. A cart and a checkout that decrement stock inside one database transaction, so two shoppers can't buy the last unit. Card payments run on Stripe Connect and settle straight into your account.
- Products, variants, options and collections
- Media library with drag-and-drop uploads
- Atomic checkout — no overselling the last unit
- Stripe Connect payouts into your own account
- Discount codes: percentage, fixed amount and free shipping
- Order lifecycle with fulfilment and cancellation
Your customers, your inbox, your brand
Every store gets a real email address that can both send and receive. Inbound mail threads into a CRM inbox next to the customer record and their order history — so a support reply and a marketing send come from the same place, and the list is yours to export whenever you want.
- Two-way store email address
- CRM inbox threaded per customer
- Customer records linked to order history
- Transactional email: confirmation, shipped, payment failed
- Tokenized order status pages for shoppers
- Export your customers any time
The marketing stack is not an upsell
Segments, broadcast campaigns and automated flows ship with the platform. Abandoned-cart recovery and welcome emails run themselves. Open tracking and unsubscribes are built in and honoured everywhere.
- SQL-backed customer segments
- Broadcast campaigns with open tracking
- Automated flows: welcome and abandoned cart
- One-click unsubscribe honoured across every send
- Full store analytics on every account
- No tier gates — none of this is a paid add-on
An affiliate network, in the platform
Find creators and marketing service providers inside eCrate, agree a deal, and let the platform handle the money. Affiliate links carry 30-day last-click attribution, commissions are withheld at charge time and paid out automatically, and flat-fee work is escrowed until it is delivered.
- One affiliate directory, browsable by niche and service
- Offers, deals and a shared state machine
- Tracked links with 30-day last-click attribution
- Commission ledger with automatic payouts
- Escrowed flat fees with a dispute queue
- One login for merchant and affiliate roles
Bring your Shopify store across
Connect with a Shopify Admin API access token — a custom app you create yourself, no public-app review to wait on. The import is idempotent, so you can run it the week before you move and again on the morning you switch.
- Products with variants, prices, inventory and images
- Collections and their memberships
- Customers
- URL redirects, so your existing links keep working
- Order history via CSV
- Re-runnable — nothing duplicates
All of it is free to use
There is no plan to pick and nothing above is gated. eCrate takes 2% of an order once it is paid.
