Store Management
A Webround Commerce Store is an enterprise-grade transactional engine, conceived with a headless-first approach. It provides the core business logic required to transform any digital interface into a robust, high-conversion e-commerce ecosystem.
Headless Architecture and Open Logic
Unlike traditional "monolithic" e-commerce builders, a Webround Store is architecturally independent from the design layer (the Draft). It operates as a dynamic, cloud-native entity powered by specialized databases and optimized search indices.
This decoupling is the foundation of Webround's Open Logic positioning:
- Infrastructure as a Service: Leverage a high-performance backend without managing servers, database scaling, or security patches.
- Logic Freedom: While the platform handles the "heavy lifting" (authentication, cart synchronization, tax calculation), you maintain total control over the business flow via APIs and Hooks.
- Platform Agnostic: Being headless, the Store is not limited to Webround sites. It can serve as a transactional layer for mobile apps, custom React/Next.js projects, or legacy enterprise systems.
Core Operational Features
The Store organizes the complexity of modern commerce into modular, reliable, and ready-to-use components:
1. Catalog and Global Search
Webround utilizes a high-speed search index to manage products, variants, and stock.
- Dynamic Collections: Organize products via attributes, tags, and automated filters.
- Multilingual Core: Native support for product and category translations, designed for international scale.
2. Operations and Compliance
- Advanced Tax Engine: Manage tax zones for different jurisdictions, ensuring compliance with the EU OSS regime and international tax regulations.
- Logistics Layer: Configure granular shipping zones and methods based on weight, fixed prices, or custom logic.
3. Webround Auth (Identity-as-a-Service)
A native and secure authentication service for your customers.
- Security: Supports 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication) and identity verification.
- GDPR Ready: Built-in tools for data portability, account deletion, and anonymization.
- Full Lifecycle: Manages password resets, newsletter opt-ins, and secure session handling.
Stripe Integration: No Vendor Lock-in
Webround operates under a Total Transparency philosophy. Every store integrates natively with Stripe using the Standard connection mode.
- Direct Ownership: Your Stripe account remains yours. Webround acts only as a technical orchestrator.
- Financial Autonomy: Funds flow directly to your account. We do not hold your money or act as a "Merchant of Record."
- Compliance: We handle the complex API orchestration for Stripe Checkout, ensuring PCI-DSS compliance and allowing you to support over 90+ local payment methods worldwide.
Collaborative Management
The Store is built for teams. The owner can invite Collaborators with granular permissions:
- Role-Based Access: Restrict access to specific modules (e.g., allow a warehouse manager to see only Orders and Inventory, while blocking access to Settings or Financials).
- Isolated Environments: Each store is a secure silo, ensuring zero data leakage between different projects or clients.
Extending the Store
To go beyond standard behavior, the Store provides professional-grade extension points:
- Public APIs: Consume catalog and checkout data from any environment.
- Webhooks: Trigger external workflows (ERP synchronization, CRM updates, custom Slack notifications) based on store events.
- Checkout Hook: Inject server-side logic to recalculate prices or apply B2B rules in real-time.
