An ecommerce platform that shares your till’s stock
Your products and collections on a website of your own, paid through Stripe into your own account. Already have a website? Connect it to the same stock instead.
From basket to doorstep
What happens to an online order, from payment to dispatch.
The customer pays
They choose the options, fill the basket and pay on Stripe’s checkout page. They do not need an account.
You hear about it
A new-order email comes to you, and the customer gets their confirmation.
You pack and post
Print a packing slip, export the label file for Royal Mail Click & Drop, and mark the order dispatched with its tracking. There is a file for Evri too. Check the first one against Evri’s own template.
They hear it is on its way
The dispatch email carries the tracking. If something goes wrong, refund in full or in part from the order.
Collections that fill themselves
Fill a collection by hand or by a rule, such as a brand or one of your product facts. New stock lands in the right place on its own.
- Menus up to three levels deep
- Groups in A to Z, Z to A or your own order
- A web address for every collection
The shop window
Everything a customer sees, on an address of your own.
Pages
A home page, product pages, collections, search, a basket and your policies. The pages run no scripts.
Your own address
An address on Talstok’s domain, and a domain you own if you have one, which we connect for you.
Checkout
Stripe’s checkout page. The money goes into your own Stripe account, and Stripe charges you its card fees.
Delivery
Rates by order value or by weight, free delivery over an amount, and click and collect.
Discounts
A percentage, an amount off or free delivery, with a code or applied automatically.
Search engines
A sitemap, and product details in the structured form search engines read.
Already have a website?
Keep it, and let it read your shop. Products, prices, stock, collections and menus come from the public catalogue, with no key needed.

Questions about the online shop
Can I use my own domain name?
Yes. Your shop has an address on Talstok’s domain, and it can have a domain you own as well. Add it in Settings, under Domains, and we connect it for you. For now we connect each one by hand, and to do that we look after the domain’s DNS settings.
Who takes the payment?
Stripe’s checkout page takes the card, and the money is paid into your own Stripe account. Stripe charges you its card fees, at its own rates. At the counter, your own card machine takes the card.
I already have a website. Can I keep it?
Yes. Your website can read your products, prices, stock, collections and menus from Talstok’s public catalogue, so it shows today’s price and whether each one is in stock. A guide for whoever builds your site is published at https://api.talstok.com/api/v1/guide.md.
Do customers need an account to buy?
No. Customers check out as guests. If you switch customer accounts on, they can sign in with a code sent to their email to see their orders.
What does an online shop cost to run?
Talstok costs from £20 a month for each shop that takes real money. What each plan includes is being decided, and the pricing page will say when it is. Stripe charges its card fees on each payment. Our guide to the true cost of an online shop sets out what Shopify, Wix, WooCommerce and others charge once apps and card fees are added, read 5 October 2026.

A test shop is free. Nothing in it is real: no money moves, and it never emails a customer. You pay only once a shop takes real money.
