Hybrid e-commerce solution
for
It is fantastic because it is
Custom, Turn-key & Affordable
The origin
We built an awesome alternative
to
no-code & open-source
e-commerce systems
We spent years using popular systems to build online shops, but clients always had to compromise due to their limitations.
So, we decided to create the perfect solution that tackles the issues shop owners face with those e-commerce systems:
- Limited customization options
- Self-creation process
- Commission based pricing
- Bugs & Maintenance
What We Do?
We developed a user-centric
e-commerce system
Custom
You call the shots!
You no longer have to make any compromises.
We bring your unique features and one-of-a-kind designs to life, just for you
Turn-key
Sit back & relax!
We take full responsibility designing, coding, and populating your shop with your amazing products, all based on your preferences.
Affordable
Don't break the bank!
CitrOnline is designed to make customization and support more affordable than ever before. It is as flexible as an e-commerce system built from scratch, but it costs a whole lot less!
How it works?
The core
The core version of CitrOnline e-commerce system is simple yet poweful.
It includes product pages, category pages, a cart & checkout system, one payment method, the email notifications system, the member area for customers, a CMS to manage your orders & your content and more...
We also have a standard design template that you can use to start.
TOGETHER we define the
scope of work.
YOU create/collect/provide the
website's content
WE create the pages' design, work
on the programming, input the
initial content into the system, and host the website on our servers.
The system is 100% scalable. You will never need to change your ecommerce
system because you are limited by the technology you chose.
You can start with the core version and add widgets one by one when you need
new features.
We have 30+ widgets that we already developed and that are ready to be added
to the core.
If our widget catalog doesn't cover your need, we develop custom widgets
for your project.

All the widgets we offer were developed by us based on the requirements of our core e-commerce system.
We have full control over the way the widget works so we can bring adjustements to make the solution a perfect fit for your activity.
Modules that involve a third party (Paypal, Ecpay, Mailchimp, Stripe, Fedex) were developed based on the APIs available.
Because CitrOnline vore system was devleoped in-house, our widgets are always up to date and compatible with one another
No more widget conflicts or shop that goes dark because you made an update.
Our solution is fully managed, so when an update is needed, we are in charge of it.
The Customizations
If you don't want to use our standard design, we can create a unique design for your shop.
You have 2 options:
You provide us with design mockups for
every single page of the website.
We work on turning those mockups into clean code and connecting it to our
ecommerce system.
You give us carte blanche to create the
perfect design for your brand's e-commerce.
If you do not find what you need within our 30+ available widgets, we develop the feature you need
There are no limitations to the kind of widget we can develop. For example, we have been developing custom widgets to connnect our e-commerce system to the client's CRM and ERP systems.
The e-commerce system we deliver comes with a CMS to manage the content of your shop as well as the orders you receive.
A common issue with pre-built and no-code e-commerce systems is that they are heavy and cluttered. You probably don't use more than 20% fo the features available.
The CMS system we deliver is customized to what you plan on using. We discard what's not necesarry and develop what you need.

We developed CitrOnline's e-commerce system from scratch so that we are able to build any features you want and that we did not develop yet.
We can create features from scratch or based on an API in order to connect your shop to your favorite partners.
CitrOnline system is developed using PHP for the back-end and javascript for dynamic parts of the front-end.
We used popular frameworks to streamline our work and enhanced security.
We combined Laravel framework and Vue.js framework to offer a top-notch e-commerce solution.
