Super Lightweight Digital Commerce Platform -- Built with AngularJS (Storefront) and Google Sheets (Back-end) and integrated with a landed cost calculator to support cross-border e-commerce transactions
This e-commerce atform is unique in several ways.
First, the e-commerce platform's backend data is managed 100% with Google Sheets. The product catalog, categories, and multi-lingual labels are all maintained in Google Sheets. Content and product catalog modifications are published in real-time to the storefront.
Secondly, storefront performance is very fast.
Other notable features:
- Mobile responsive. Looks great on both desktops and mobile devices. Give it a try (demo): https://landedcost.io/demo
- Integrated with the LandedCost.io landed cost API, which calculates import duties and taxes for cross-border ecommerce orders. First and only digital commerce platform with native landed cost integration!
- Supports PayPal Express. Other payment options to follow soon.
- The client-side framework is AngularJS.
- Very theme-able: The sample site theme can be easily modified.
- It's FREE.
- Mult-lingual support; add as many languages as you want.
