Introduction to Swell

Swell is an API-first headless ecommerce solution with native support for subscriptions and marketplace.

Going headless, or decoupling the frontend from the backend, means you are not tied to any particular frontend technology, which offers the ultimate flexibility and customization needed to build any shopping experience you can imagine.

With a low-code platform and a drag and drop UI, Swell is also a modern SaaS platform that lowers the barrier to leverage the power of headless for small to mid-size businesses.

The solution: Subscriptions-built-in

Subscriptions sky-rocketed when the pandemic hit with no signs of slowing down. Yet despite subscription services growing in popularity, many platforms don't offer them built-in. This forces merchants to turn to third-party apps which can be expensive and cumbersome.

How Swell is solving this: Swell offers subscriptions built-in, meaning you sell any digital or physical product from your catalog as a subscription from the start on multiple plans. Managed through one intuitive dashboard, Swell subscriptions let you:

Set pricing for one-time orders and subscriptions together Define plans with custom intervals and separate schedules for billing and fulfillment Create and edit subscriptions, invoices and others Set up quizzes to find out exactly what your customers want Offer a range of membership tiers and packages to provide value at every price point
