One platform, not fifteen plugins

No app store and no per-feature subscriptions. Everything on this page is built in and supported by us. Pick the plan that matches how you sell, and everything that channel needs comes with it.

No app store, no add-ons

Nothing here is a plugin you have to find, pay for and hope stays maintained. It is one system, built and supported in one place.

Built for awkward categories

Age checks, approval gates and category rules are part of the platform, not a plugin you have to find and trust.

One system, not five

Storefront, payments, stock and shipping share the same data, so the numbers agree without anything syncing overnight.

Sell to shoppers, the trade, or both

A public shop, a gated trade store, or the two side by side, one catalogue behind them.

Retail

Open to everyone

A public storefront your customers can buy from in seconds.

  • VAT-inclusive pricing, open browsing
  • Guest checkout that converts
  • Predictive search and filtering
  • Customer accounts and order history
Wholesale

Gated for the trade

A trade store your buyers actually want to order from.

  • Trade application & approval workflow
  • Ex-VAT pricing, per-customer price lists
  • Outer & carton quantities built in
  • Draft orders for phone & rep sales

A storefront people enjoy buying from

Fast, mobile-first and search-friendly, themed to your brand on your own domain. The boring conversion details are already done.

  • Server-rendered pages that rank and load fast
  • Variants done properly: sizes, colours, finishes
  • Persistent carts and guest checkout

One back office, one login

Orders, products, customers and pricing live together. No plugin juggling, no tab roulette. Your whole day happens in one place.

  • Orders, stock and fulfilment integrated
  • Trade price lists per customer
  • Staff roles with server-side permissions

Checkout that says yes

Live from day oneNo gateway application, no waiting on someone else’s risk team.
3-D Secure and SCAFully compliant card flows for UK & EU customers, PCI scope kept minimal.
Refunds from the order pageOne click. No separate merchant portal to log into.

Dropshipping, without the stock

List from supplier catalogues without holding stock. Paid orders route to the supplier automatically, and tracking flows back to your customer on its own.

  • Supplier catalogues synced into your store
  • Auto-routing the moment an order is paid
  • Live stock sync and automatic tracking updates

The tools every store needs

Included on every plan, not sold back to you one subscription at a time.

A catalogue built for variants

Sizes, colours, scents and strengths as first-class variants, not duplicate products.

Inventory that keeps up

Tracking per variant and location, with low-stock alerts before you sell out.

Payments built in

Our own gateway with 3-D Secure, including categories other processors refuse.

Shipping rules that fit

Zones, rates and age-check delivery options where your products need them.

Staff roles & permissions

Server-side enforcement, so the wrong person can’t see your margins.

Custom domain, auto TLS

Connect your domain from the admin; certificates issue and renew themselves.

Restricted categories, handled

Age verification at checkout and category rules for sellers who need them.

Reports that mean something

Sales, best-sellers and trade-account performance without exporting a CSV.

Switch in days, not months

From Shopify, WooCommerce or a bespoke build, without losing your catalogue, your rankings or your nerve.

Bring your catalogue

Products, variants, images and collections import directly, with smart rules that map your options to proper variants.

Keep your URLs

Product addresses stay unchanged and 301 redirects cover anything that moves. Your search rankings come with you.

Cut over safely

Your domain points at Stax only when everything reconciles. The old store stays live as a rollback until you’re sure.

Questions sellers actually ask

How much does Stax cost?

Plans start at £79/month for a retail store, £399/month adds dropshipping, and £1,599/month is the full wholesale platform. Full detail on the pricing page, or tell us how you sell and we will say which one you actually need.

What if my products are in a "restricted" category?

That’s a design goal, not an edge case. Our gateway runs on acquirers that accept categories mainstream processors refuse, and age verification at checkout plus category rules are built into the platform for sellers who need them.

Can I run retail and wholesale together?

Running both channels from one store is on the roadmap. Today you run a retail store or a gated wholesale store, each with the pricing rules that channel expects, both from the same admin.

How does trade pricing work?

Wholesale prices stay hidden until a trade account is approved. Approved buyers see ex-VAT prices, their own price list, outer and carton quantities, and RRP alongside their margin.

How hard is it to migrate my existing store?

Most catalogues import in an afternoon: products, variants, images and collections. URLs are preserved with 301 redirects for anything that moves, and your old store stays live as a rollback until cutover is confirmed.

Do you support dropshipping?

Yes. Supplier catalogues sync into your store, paid orders route to the supplier automatically, and tracking flows back to your customer without you touching a spreadsheet.

Can I use my own domain?

Yes. Connect your domain from the admin and TLS certificates are issued automatically. Until then your store runs on a free Stax subdomain.

Ready when you are

Open a new shop or bring the one you already run. Either way, you can be trading this week.
