Sellbox is a SaaS (Software as a service) that allows to develop highly customized ecommerce stores, without coding skills and for cheap.
This project was born from a double need on my own ecommerce store:
1. Custom design and features: At the time my store was made with Shopify and this platform is focused on simplicity of use. But it comes with huge limitations in terms of design and customization of the store. So most of the sites look the same.
2. Reduce cost of site maintenance (hosting, apps). On Shopify the basic subscription is 30$ and on top of that you have to pay tens (or hundreds) of euros for plugins. The covid crisis forced me to rationalize my business spendings.
Thus, I made my store on Wordpress + Woocommerce. With the objective to reduce the cost to the maximum for a maximum of features (emailing, security, payment options, advanced design with animations and interactivity, facebook pixel and social networks ...).
This led to very good results (including even increase in sales).
Due to this. the idea came to me to create a platform that would allow me to do the same thing for clients. Thus, the project has integrated a user interface totally revisited compared to that of wordpress. And the maintenance and security done via
The project included a test phase of dozens of plugins to integrate the most qualitative and economical. For example, the SaaS integrates the page builder Brizy which is the most ergonomic for customers and the most fluid. The websites maintenance and security is optimized using MainWP.
