Can I build my own online store with Crate?
Yes. Crate builds a branded online store for a business on its own domain, with no code and no marketplace stall. A Crate store is set up from a phone or a desktop, uses the one product catalogue that also feeds Instagram, WhatsApp and the counter, and keeps its own theme, pages and navigation. Products are listed once in Crate with their variants, photos, stock and prices in the merchant's own currency, USD in the United States and NGN in Nigeria, and the same record then sells everywhere. A Crate store is server- rendered, so its pages are readable without JavaScript. The store belongs to the business, including its domain and its customer list.
What it does
Capabilities
Everything a storefront needs on the day it opens, with nothing to install and nothing to stitch together.
Your own domain
Connect a domain you already own and the store lives on it, with the DNS records laid out for you and the certificate handled automatically. Not bought one yet? Search names from the dashboard, register it with any registrar, then connect it here.
One catalog underneath
A product added once is ready to sell on the store, in chat, on social and at the counter.
Pages and navigation
Add an about page, a size guide or a delivery policy and put it in the menu yourself.
Checkout that takes real money
Customers pay by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or bank transfer, priced in US dollars, with an alert the moment money lands.
Fast without a plugin
Pages are rendered on the server, so the store is readable on a slow connection and by a crawler.
Who it is for
Fit
A storefront is the right first move when the business already has demand and no place of its own to send it.
You are selling from a social profile
The audience exists and the orders arrive as messages. A store gives them somewhere to buy without asking you for a price first.
You are renting a stall in a marketplace
The listings work and the customer belongs to the marketplace. A store on your own domain makes the customer yours.
You have a website that cannot take money
The brochure site looks right and stops at the point of sale. This is the same site with a catalog and a checkout behind it.
Setup
How it works
About an hour from an empty account to a link you can share.
- Pick a theme and drop in your logo, colors and fonts.
- Add your first products with their photos, options and prices in US dollars.
- Connect a domain, or use the free Crate link while the domain transfers.
- Turn on a payment method and place a test order to see the whole flow.
Set up from a phone. No developer, no plugin to buy, nothing to install.

Online store questions
Do I need to know how to code?
No. You pick a theme and edit it visually. Your logo, colors and fonts are a few clicks, and there is nothing to install.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes. Connect a domain you already own and your store lives on it, with the certificate handled for you and a free Crate link ready from day one. Crate does not sell domains: search a name from the dashboard, register it with any registrar, then connect it here.
Is the store really mine?
Yes. It is a branded storefront on your own domain rather than a stall inside a marketplace. Your customers deal with you, and your customer list is yours to export.
Can customers pay on the store?
Yes. Checkout takes card, Apple Pay, Google Pay and bank transfer, priced in US dollars, with an instant alert the moment money lands.
Can I sell on social and in chat too?
Yes. Add a product once and it is ready to sell on your store, on Instagram, on WhatsApp and at your counter, all from one catalog.
