Running an online store is a chain of jobs: brand, catalog, media, checkout, tax, fulfillment, support, analytics and fixes. Photon Stores keeps that chain in one place so merchants are not wiring Zapier between five vendors on day one.

Day zero: describe, pick a look, sell

You start with a sentence about what you sell—or a link to an old store. Photon Stores returns three live design directions. Pick one and the system builds pages, sample products and a full product photoshoot in minutes, not weeks.

Day one: money and compliance

  • Checkout with cards, wallets, UPI and cash on delivery where you need it.
  • Tax rate per product; invoices for you and the shopper.
  • Your domain when you are ready; free address until then.
  • Roles for team members with least-privilege access.

Payment details never touch our servers; orders confirm only after the provider accepts payment. That architecture matters for security questionnaires and for shopper trust.

Week one: agents take repeatable growth work

The agentic team handles SEO tasks, merchandising suggestions, support drafts and social copy—each waiting for approval. The SEO agent runs continuously; see the dedicated guide for what it monitors.
