Sessosophia

E-commerce / Digital Publishing · Platform

A storefront and an admin panel that replaced Shopify end to end: a shop with its own checkout, and a back office that runs orders, refunds, downloads and the customer emails.

The problem

Everything ran on Shopify — the storefront, the orders, the refunds and the customer emails — on a rented platform built around shipping physical products, not delivering digital books by email.

Before: Shopify
After: A store they own
