Run E-Commerce Without the Per-Transaction Bleed.
Shopify takes 2.9% + 30¢ on every order. At $10M GMV that's $290K/year before app subscriptions. Add Klaviyo + Recharge + Loop + Postscript + Stamped + Octane AI and you're past $400K/year on platform fees alone. Aeion's e-commerce stack — Commerce + Tax + Billing + Marketing + Helpdesk + Claw — ships subscriptions, loyalty, affiliates, multi-channel POS, fraud detection, churn prediction, cart-recovery AI, and dynamic pricing as native modules at a flat per-module rate. Scale to $100M+ GMV without your tooling bill scaling with you.

How It Compares
The honest landscape of "run an e-commerce business" stacks in 2026.
E-commerce-buyer questions
Yes — Aeion Singularity ships a Shopify connector that imports products, variants, customers, orders, subscriptions, loyalty points, and content (blog posts, pages). Most migrations take 1-2 weeks for data + 4-6 weeks for storefront rebuild if you're going headless. Singularity also handles BigCommerce, WooCommerce, Magento, Salesforce Commerce Cloud.
Stripe, Adyen, Square, PayPal, Razorpay out of the box. Additional processors can be added as a custom integration. You retain your direct relationship with the processor — Aeion doesn't take a cut.
Aeion minimizes your PCI-DSS scope by design: card data tokenizes at the processor (Stripe Elements, Adyen Drop-in, etc.), so Aeion never stores or transmits raw card numbers, and every payment-touching action lands in an audit-ready log. The platform is built to PCI-DSS Level 1 requirements, with formal attestation in progress — alongside SOC 2 Type II, whose audit motion is also in flight.
Aeion Tax handles US state nexus, EU VAT (including OSS), UK VAT, Australian GST, Canadian GST/HST/PST, and ~190 other jurisdictions. Exemption certificate handling, OSS filing exports, and audit-ready transaction logs. No separate Avalara contract required for most brands.
Yes. Every Commerce capability is exposed via the REST API and via WebMCP browser tools. Pre-built React storefront templates available, but you can ship a custom Next.js / Astro / Remix / SvelteKit storefront calling the API directly. The admin UI keeps working regardless.
Aeion Commerce supports B2B price lists, customer-specific catalogs, quote-to-order workflows, NET payment terms, multi-buyer org accounts, purchase-order matching, and tax exemption per customer. Same database as DTC — no separate "B2B platform" license.
AI Product Copy Generation supports 30+ languages (via the AI gateway's multilingual models). Multi-currency price calculation handles 130+ currencies with rate updates from configured providers. Localization at the product, category, and content level.
Aeion Commerce's order-source field tracks origin (`dtc`, `amazon`, `ebay`, `walmart`, `tiktok`, `wholesale`, etc.). Inventory syncs across channels via the platform's collection-level webhooks. Marketplace-specific connectors (Amazon SP-API, eBay Trading API) ship in Aeion Singularity.
Yes — subscription products are first-class in Aeion Commerce. Recurring billing, payment retries, dunning, proration, subscription pausing, swap-the-product, gift subscriptions all native. The Churn Prediction agent watches subscription health and intervenes.
