Features · The build

Six phases, two shipped.

AxisShop is built deliberately, not feature-by-feature. Each phase is a load-bearing piece of the commerce stack — foundation, core, fulfillment, builder, growth, platform. Two are complete; four to go before the October 2026 launch.

Phase 1 · Shipped

Foundation.

The platform's bones. Auth that works across the suite, multi-tenancy at the database layer, payments onboarding via Stripe Connect, and the merchant admin shell.

Every query is tenant-scoped from line one. Subdomain routing on the free tier; custom domains with managed SSL on paid tiers.

  • 01

    MyMeridi SSO

    Single sign-on across the Axis Meridi suite. HMAC-signed cross-product provisioning, device-trust MFA, WebAuthn passkeys, impersonation for support.

  • 02

    Multi-tenant from line one

    Every query tenant-scoped. Subdomain on free tier, custom domain on paid. No row-level escape hatches.

  • 03

    Stripe Connect onboarding

    Express accounts, account links, webhook-driven status sync. Tier-based platform fee taken automatically.

Phase 2 · Shipped

Commerce core.

Products, carts, checkout, orders, customers, inventory — the load-bearing surface, all wired and tested. Six product types share one schema; up to three variant axes per product.

Inventory reservations use SELECT … FOR UPDATE to prevent oversell under concurrent checkouts. The transaction ledger is append-only, with idempotency on gateway transaction IDs.

  • 04

    Six product types, three-axis variants

    Physical, digital, subscription, booking, service, bundle. Typed metafields, multi-media (images, video, 3D).

  • 05

    Collections with a real rule engine

    Manual or automated. 11 rule fields × 12 operators. Sort by best-selling, price, title, recency, or manual order.

  • 06

    Multi-location, reservation-aware inventory

    On-hand, reserved, and available tracked per variant per location. Concurrent-checkout safe.

  • 07

    Cart → order → PaymentIntent in one transaction

    Inventory reservation, order creation, and Stripe PaymentIntent issuance happen atomically.

  • 08

    Order lifecycle ledger

    Separate order, financial, and fulfillment statuses. Append-only transactions power refunds and partial-refund detection.

Phases 3 – 6 · In build

The rest of the stack.

Fulfillment, the storefront builder, growth features, and the open API platform. The remaining four phases land on the roadmap toward the October 2026 launch.

Each is meaningfully self-contained — early-access merchants can adopt them as they ship instead of waiting for everything at once.

  • 09

    Carriers and tax, in-house

    Canada Post, USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL — direct API integrations. Tax engine: CA (GST/HST/PST/QST), US (state + county + city), EU VAT/MOSS.

  • 10

    Templates → blocks → code

    Industry templates for fast launches. ~20 block types in a drag-and-drop builder. Full HTML/CSS/JS code editor with version control.

  • 11

    OrangePeel-grade analytics

    Overview, sales, products, customers, traffic, marketing, funnel, financial. Custom report builder. Real-time visitors.

  • 12

    Discounts, email, CRM

    Discount engine with stacking rules and automatic discounts. Drag-and-drop email campaigns. Customer segments with group pricing.

  • 13

    REST API, webhooks, integrations

    Versioned API with OpenAPI docs, scoped API keys, exponential-backoff webhook retries. First-party GA4, Meta CAPI, TikTok, Mailchimp, Klaviyo, QuickBooks, Xero.
