Build and launch faster

Two big steps that take you from an idea to a real shop in minutes, with a name and a web address that work right away.

AI store builder

Describe what you sell in one sentence and our AI suggests store names, writes your product and page copy, picks a matching theme, and builds a real mobile-ready storefront in minutes. It even drafts your standard pages: Privacy Policy, Terms, Refund Policy, Shipping, Contact, and About.

Custom domains with free SSL

Every store gets a free yourname.banzena.com address live instantly. Connect your own domain by pointing a CNAME and a short verification record, at no extra cost, and Cloudflare issues free automatic SSL. Your free address keeps working during setup, so the store is never offline.

Lately

Sell more ways, get paid your way

More products to offer and more ways for customers to pay, all switched on by default.

Card payments and Cash on Delivery

Take cards through your own connected Stripe account, with payouts straight to you and card details never stored by Banzena. Cash on Delivery is there too, with no Banzena fee. Both are on by default the moment your store goes live.

Digital downloads and services

Sell physical goods, digital files, and services or bookings, with unlimited products. Digital files are delivered to your customer instantly through the order confirmation email.

Six themes to make it yours

Choose from Atelier, Punch, Folio, Hearth, Slate, and Bounce. Switch anytime, and edit colours, fonts, and your logo whenever you like.

One dashboard for everything

Track orders, customers, sales, and stock in one place. Inventory auto-decrements as orders come in, you get an email alert on every new order, and you can run discounts, promo codes, and flat, free, or location-based shipping rates.

Lately

Email that runs itself, plus newsletters

Your customers stay in the loop automatically, and you get a way to reach them when you want to.

Automatic order emails

Order confirmations, new-order alerts, status updates on ship, deliver, fulfil and refund, welcome notes, abandoned-cart reminders, and password resets all go out for you. Customer-facing emails show your shop's name as the sender.

Send your own newsletters

Reach your customers with newsletters straight from Banzena, each with an unsubscribe link built in.

New

A help centre and FAQ

More answers in more places, whenever you need them.

FAQ and help centre

Our help centre is open 24/7, and a new FAQ answers the most common questions about setting up and running your store.

Real support and a status page

Email support@banzena.com reaches a real person, Monday to Friday, usually within one working day. A public status page shows the health of storefronts, dashboard, checkout, domains and SSL, email, and the API.

Free to start

Try everything for nothing upfront

No monthly fee and no setup cost. Banzena earns a flat 1% only on a confirmed card sale, and Cash on Delivery orders carry no Banzena fee. If you don't sell, you don't pay.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about selling with Banzena.

How much does Banzena cost?
It's free to start with nothing upfront, no monthly fee, and no setup cost. We earn a flat 1% only on a confirmed card sale, so if you don't sell, you don't pay a thing.
How does the AI build my store from a description?
You describe what you sell in one sentence, and our AI builder suggests store names, writes your product and page copy, picks a matching theme, and stands up a real, mobile-ready storefront in minutes. It even creates your standard pages like Privacy Policy, Terms, Refund and Shipping policies, Contact and About.
How can my customers pay?
Shoppers can pay by card at a secure checkout or choose cash on delivery, where they pay when the order arrives. Both are turned on by default the moment your store goes live, and customers pick whichever they prefer.
Can I use my own domain name?
Yes. Every store gets a free yourname.banzena.com address, and you can also connect your own custom domain like shop.yourbrand.com at no extra cost, with free automatic SSL. Your shop, your domain, your customers, with no lock-in.
How do I get paid for my sales?
You connect your own Stripe account, and card payments flow straight into it. Banzena's 1% is taken as a small fee on each card sale, so the rest is yours. For cash on delivery, you collect from the customer directly.
How do I get help if I'm stuck?
Email us anytime at support@banzena.com and you'll always hear back from a real person, never a robot. Our team is around Monday to Friday and usually replies within one working day, often sooner, while the Help centre is open 24/7.
