What North Commerce is
North Commerce gives WordPress sellers tools to manage products and checkout, whether they sell digital goods, courses, coaching, communities, merchandise, or physical products. Its Creator Checkout embeds payment on a WordPress page or post, so buyers can pay without leaving that page. The catalog supports SKUs, variants, inventory, shipping zones, discount codes, collections, search, carts, customer accounts, and sales reports. Payments include Stripe, with Apple Pay and Google Pay also listed for Creator Checkout. Integrations include PayPal, Square, Mollie, Zapier, Pabbly Connect, and webhooks. Sellers can connect Stripe Tax or enter regional tax rates manually. North Commerce offers a self-hosted WordPress plugin and a REST API for store data and integrations. It says it adds no platform transaction fee, though standard Stripe processing fees still apply. A free plan is available; paid plans start at $79/mo. The listed plans also include one-time setup services from $299 to $999.
