Ready-made store builders get you started fast, but they charge every month and often take a cut of each sale. As your sales grow, so does that cut. A store on your own server belongs to you: the design, the data and the customer relationship stay with you.
Benefits of your own store
- No commission on sales: only the payment provider's own fee
- Your data: products, orders and customers on your own server
- Flexibility: set the design, language and currency as you like
Things to watch
Security, backups and updates are now your responsibility. Captanel makes them easy: free SSL, automatic backups, firewall and 24/7 monitoring. Have a lawyer review your legal pages (terms, returns, privacy).
Two ways with Captanel
- Ready-made designs: pick one of the store themes among 400+ designs. Products, categories, promotions, coupons, gift cards, customer accounts, returns and shipment tracking come ready. The store can open in English, Turkish, German or Spanish.
- WooCommerce, OpenCart or PrestaShop: install the system you know in one click.
Payments
Stripe and PayPal worldwide (iyzico and PayTR in Turkey). Card details never touch your site; payment is taken on the provider's secure page.
