Store Management

A Webround Commerce Store is the operational engine that enables e-commerce capabilities on the Webround platform, transforming a static site into a full transactional machine.

What is a Store​

The Store is a component architecturally separated from the Draft. While the latter is based on JSON configurations, the Store is a totally dynamic entity powered by Webround servers, databases, and search indices.

Users do not need to worry about infrastructure management, database performance, or data security: the platform handles the entire technical complexity. This approach allows you to focus exclusively on what matters: sales, marketing, and operations.

Core Features​

  • Isolation and Security: Each store is linked to a Webround user and is segregated from others, ensuring that catalog and customer data are always protected and isolated.
  • Multilingual Support: Stores are designed for the global market, with native management of translations for products, categories, and communications.
  • Advanced Collaboration: The owner can associate collaborators with their store, assigning granular permissions to limit or extend access to specific sections (e.g., only order management or only products).
  • Headless Infrastructure: Thanks to public APIs and Webhooks, the store can be used as a backend for mobile apps, legacy systems, or custom websites, moving beyond the boundaries of the Webround draft editor.

The Two Levels of the Store​

The Store operates on two distinct fronts to ensure security and usability:

  1. Back-office (Reserved Area): The command center accessible only to owners and collaborators. This is where products are configured, orders are managed, customer data is analyzed, and shipping rates are set.
  2. User-facing (Public API): The layer of exposed services from which visitors consume store data (catalog browsing, adding to cart, authentication, and checkout).

Stripe Integration and "No Vendor Lock-in"​

Webround uses a transparent approach to payment management. Every store integrates natively with Stripe via Standard mode.

This means that:

  • Webround acts only as a technical intermediary and event orchestrator for payments.
  • There is no "vendor lock-in": the Stripe account remains the property of the customer.
  • Financial flows are direct, and configuration is simplified, eliminating the need for complex custom development for PCI-DSS compliance, which remains a responsibility limited to Stripe.

Fundamental Components​

The Store organizes the complexity of electronic commerce into ready-to-use logical modules:

Catalog and Promotions​

You can manage products, variants, SKUs, warehouse availability, and prices, with the ability to label your catalog with attributes, tags, and dynamic collections that allow for filtered and text-based searches across your entire system.

You can integrate promotions and coupons to manage specific offers and discounts for customers or for the entire catalog.

Operations and Logistics​

Granular configuration of:

  • Tax Zones: Tax management for different jurisdictions to remain compliant with the OSS regime.
  • Shipping: Shipping zones, methods, and rates based on weight and fixed price.

Webround Auth​

A native authentication service for store customers. It supports:

  • Login with email and password.
  • Two-factor authentication (2FA).
  • Identity verification and newsletter management.
  • Password reset.
  • Account deletion and anonymization.
  • GDPR compliance.

Checkout and Customers​

The Checkout is simple, direct, and conversion-oriented. Thanks to the integration with Stripe, you can sell in almost any part of the world, supporting a total of more than 90 payment methods.

Webround supports Guest Checkout for customers who come and go, as well as a precise and organized order history for all customers who register on your site.
