Multi-Tenant by Design
Supabase Auth for staff, Owner/Admin/Staff memberships, permission presets, and org switching for operators who work across brands.
We bring the backend. You bring the frontend.
litecommerce is the multi-tenant commerce backend for catalog, inventory, orders, pricing, returns, media, and audit — delivered through clean REST APIs your frontend can consume from any stack.
Six primitives
Public REST API
live$ curl /public/items/itm_4f2
{
"id": "itm_4f2",
"title": "Trail Pack 38L",
"variants": 24,
"in_stock": 612

Every capability below runs in production on staging and the two reference storefronts.
Supabase Auth for staff, Owner/Admin/Staff memberships, permission presets, and org switching for operators who work across brands.
Products, variants, collections, and CMS pages with create, edit, archive, and restore — all backed by real API writes, not placeholder alerts.
On-hand, reserved, and available stock per variant. Auto-reserves on order, releases on cancel, decrements on fulfillment — with low-stock alerts and back-in-stock notify-me capture.
Order statuses, line items, notes, and a customer activity timeline. A fulfillment status flow and a filterable orders list — real order management, not a stub.
Coupon codes, automatic cart discounts, scheduled sale windows, product bundles, and compare-at pricing — applied at the storefront cart through the API.
Customer return requests with a merchant approval state machine and Stripe refunds on completion. Configurable shipping zones and rates with storefront rate preview.
Signed upload URLs, item and collection images, alt text, and focal point — tenant-scoped and ready for any frontend stack.
Admin writes, auth events, API-key changes, and platform support access — persisted, queryable, and visible in admin.
Business profile, configuration foundation, and a setup checklist that platform staff can see too.

On the roadmap
These are not live yet. We're building them in the open against the same multi-tenant foundation that ships today.
Automatic tax calculation at checkout, layered on the shipping zones and rates that ship today.
Services, availability, calendar holds, deposits, and reschedule/cancel policies.
Stripe Billing plans, dunning, upgrades/downgrades, and entitlement APIs.
ShipStation order sync, signed outbound webhooks, and a central event system driving lifecycle automations.
Live on litecommerce
These are real production tenants running on the API today. Same backend, completely different presentation layer — which is the whole point of BYO frontend.
