What is Shopya?

Shopya is an online cloud commerce solution, crafted towards creating a simplistic yet custom approach to creating an online shop.

We started as an ecommerce solution for ourselves after finding other platforms to be too expensive or simply not fitting requirements, or our clients requirements. The original version of Shopya was used privately, and was initially developed in 2015. Our current version, however, was completely re-written from scratch using the most modern and relevant technology to scale our platform for the masses.

In the world of commerce, we have seen small brands turn into monopolies, and for some time, they have dominated commerce in almost every aspect. However, times are changing.

Entrepreneurs are starting to realize they are able to come up with solutions just as good or better than the large monopolies that rule our world. Consumers have noticed they are able to purchase goods from smaller brands that are in every sense as quality (or even better) than their competitors, and most often, more affordable.

At Shopya, we believe that starting a business should be easier than it ever has been with the technology we are given. We believe in fair distribution rather than conglomerates controlling the tech world. Starting a business should not require massive capital, but regardless, it’s not an easy job.

That’s where we come in. Starting a business should be easier. You should not need a development team just to get your store working, a system administrator to help scale and mitigate bugs and attacks. You do not have time to think about servers, platform architecture for your store, attack mitigation techniques, or coordinate with an entire team to improve the look and marketing of your storefront. Most importantly, you should not require a huge sum of capital to start your business, which is why our plans start off at $19.97/mo

Shopya offers a platform in which will power your sales channels. Starting from your online storefront, all the way down to your offline order processing. The best part? We make it cost-effective for you, and can proudly boast that we are more affordable than any of the leading eCommerce solutions in existence.

How do we offer such affordable services?

Having helped scale multiple online business in both marketing and application sided, we have learned how to use the most cutting-edge technologies in existence to create a highly-sustainable yet budget-friendly environment for software development. Our platform was built with mass-scaling in mind since day one. First it was the plans for the overall application, then it was the plans for the architecture and infrastructure in which the application would sit on. Shopya has been built with both in mind, alongside security and simplicity to ensure a highly effective ecommerce solution for our clients.
