The hidden cost of closed platforms
Shopify, WooCommerce or PrestaShop start fast, but they lock you in: per-sale commissions, paid plugins for every feature and performance that degrades as the catalog grows. When you want something the plugin can't do, there's no solution — just more fees. A store of your own removes that ceiling: you pay for development once and the business grows without costs growing with it.
A store built on your own code
At leo/ I build your e-commerce from scratch on Next.js, TypeScript and Stripe. No generic templates, no per-transaction commissions beyond the payment processor itself. The catalog, the checkout and the admin panel are designed for your specific operation.
- —Zero platform feesYou only pay the payment processor fees (Stripe). Not a percentage of every sale to a middleman platform.
- —Checkout optimized to convertA low-friction buying process, fast on mobile and with no unnecessary steps. Every second and every click saved is more conversion.
- —Catalog and admin built your wayAn admin panel built for how you work: stock, variants, discounts and orders, with no fields you don't use.
- —Performance that holds the catalogArchitecture on PostgreSQL and optimized rendering: the store runs just as fast with 50 products as with 5,000.
