A storefront and checkout on your own website

Cart, checkout, customer accounts, downloads and license activation, added to the website you already have with one script tag. Moonbase takes the payment, charges the right tax and delivers the downloads.

Embedded storefront

What the storefront adds to your site

Shopping cart.
A cart customers manage themselves, opened from Add to cart buttons that are part of your own pages. Bundles, quantities and cart offers included.
Overlay checkout.
Checkout opens over your page on desktops and tablets, so buyers never leave your site. On phones it switches to a full page, where Apple Pay and Google Pay show up.
Customer sign-in.
Signed-in customers get the prices meant for them, such as owner discounts, and reach the products and licenses they own.
Themed to your brand.
Set colours, fonts, corners, buttons and cards in a few options, and it reads as part of your website.
Promotions in place.
A sale you start in Moonbase updates every price on your site and can announce itself as a banner or popup, without a deploy.

Embedded on your site, or hosted by Moonbase

Customer accounts

Customers sign in on your website to see what they own, download it, activate it and look after their subscriptions. The storefront draws every screen; your site only needs the buttons.

Frequently asked questions

Adding the script and the buttons is a small job for whoever looks after your website, and WordPress sites can use the Moonbase plugin. If you would rather not touch your site at all, use the hosted checkout and buy-now links instead.

Checkout offers what the payment provider supports for the buyer's currency, country and amount: cards, wallets such as Apple Pay and Google Pay, and local methods such as PayPal, Klarna, iDEAL and Bancontact where available. Apple Pay and Google Pay appear in the full-page checkout, which the embedded storefront uses on phones. Subscriptions only offer methods that can be saved for renewals.

Yes. Turn on any of about 110 currencies. Checkout uses the currency of the buyer's country when you have it on, and your default currency otherwise. Prices you do not set by hand are converted and rounded to the style you choose.

Yes. The storefront API and the React and Vue SDKs give you the catalogue, carts, customer sign-in and what each customer owns, so you can build any design you like. Moonbase still takes the payment, handles the tax and delivers the licenses.

Moonbase is the merchant of record, so checkout shows the order as sold and fulfilled by Moonbase AS (Moonbase LLC for some US purchases), an authorized reseller of your products. Moonbase calculates, collects and remits the tax for you.
