What is Stored and how does it work?

Selling online has significant challenges. Stored was developed to tackle the key pain points of e-commerce, reducing the complexities of setting up a traditional e-commerce website, addressing low conversion rates, and connecting broken customer journey’s.

Stored is an e-commerce tool that empowers businesses to quickly and easily sell anywhere. It does this by enabling businesses to embed a full-feature store or checkout into any existing website, while preserving its original design and functionality. It can also be integrated across social media, affiliate marketing, email, text message, or even behind a QR code in a physical setting - meaning that your customers can see and buy your products wherever they find them, instantly.
