Cordill Commerce · in development
Proven open-source commerce, tied into one store.
Cordill Commerce moves WooCommerce and PrestaShop stores to a fast, AI-ready stack built from proven open-source parts — running on accounts you own, set up and maintained by procadena, and ready for your own AI assistant to help you run it.
Why now
Built for the web as it is today, not as it was in 2003.
WordPress (2003) and PrestaShop (2007) powered a generation of online stores, and they still do. But they were designed before smartphones took over shopping, before Google measured speed, before accessibility became a legal duty for online shops and before AI assistants started shopping for people. Twenty years of plugins have patched the gaps. Cordill Commerce starts from today's web instead.
| Area | When WordPress and PrestaShop were designed | Today |
|---|---|---|
| Pages | HTML 4, desktop browsers | HTML5 (2014), phone first |
| Network | HTTP/1.1, one server | HTTP/2 (2015), HTTP/3 (2022), global edge networks |
| Speed | Judged by feel | Core Web Vitals, a Google ranking signal since 2021 |
| Search | Keywords and blue links | Structured data (schema.org, 2011), product feeds, AI answers |
| Accessibility | Guidelines few followed | WCAG-based, a legal duty for most EU online shops since June 2025 |
| Shoppers | People with browsers | People, and AI assistants that search and buy for them |
| Code | PHP on the server, JavaScript on the page | One language, TypeScript, from browser to edge to server |
01
Fast by design, not by plugin
Pages are built at the edge, close to your shoppers, and delivered over HTTP/3 with almost no JavaScript. No caching plugin to configure, no speed-optimisation plugin to buy.
02
Understood by search engines and AI
Structured data, product feeds and AI-readable pages come built in, so Google Search and AI assistants such as Google Gemini, OpenAI ChatGPT, Anthropic Claude and others understand your products, not just your text.
03
Ready for shoppers who aren't human
AI assistants increasingly find, compare and buy on people's behalf. Your store speaks their protocols: Google's UCP, OpenAI's ACP and MCP, with agent checkout switched on as it reaches your country.
04
Accessible by default. And by law.
Every page and building block meets WCAG 2.2 AA from the start. The European Accessibility Act has applied to most online shops in the EU since June 2025; Cordill starts you on an accessible base instead of a retrofit.
05
One language, fewer surprises
Everything we write, from storefront to server, is TypeScript. No mix of languages and plugins from different eras, and many errors are caught before they reach your shop.
06
Secure by architecture
Your server has no public ports; Cloudflare's network shields it. Third-party content plugins run in sandboxes. No marketplace of unknown code with access to your customer data.
Your AI, your store
Run your store by asking.
Connect the AI assistant you already use and hand it the routine work: updating products, writing translations, preparing promotions, checking orders. It connects through MCP, the open protocol supported by Anthropic Claude, OpenAI ChatGPT and a growing number of other assistants, and works on your store within the limits you set.
- “Put the winter collection on 20% off until Sunday.”
- “Write Polish descriptions for this week's new products.”
- “Which orders have been waiting more than two days?”
Your assistant, your choice
Use the assistant you prefer, and change it whenever you like. Nothing in your store is tied to one AI company.
Only what you allow
The assistant gets its own access, with the permissions you choose area by area. It starts read-only, and customer data stays off unless you switch it on.
You stay in charge
Its changes are saved as drafts for you to publish. Refunds, price changes, deletions and publishing need your confirmation every time, and every action is logged.
How it works
Not a new platform. A distribution of proven ones.
Like a Linux distribution, Cordill Commerce doesn't reinvent the parts. It selects well-established open-source projects, ties them together, tests them as one, and keeps them up to date.
Commerce engine
Vendure
Catalog, pricing, orders, customers and promotions.
- Channels run several stores, brands or markets from one back office.
- Multiple currencies, languages and tax zones built in.
- Stateless servers and separate workers scale out for large catalogs and peak traffic.
- Plugins, events and background jobs for ERP, PIM and accounting integrations; B2B features such as company accounts, quotes and contract pricing are available.
Storefront
Astro
The pages your shoppers see.
- Sends plain, fast HTML; interactive parts load only where they are needed.
- Strong Core Web Vitals and SEO from the start.
- Developed by Cloudflare since January 2026, and still open source.
Agent API
Hono
The fast API that AI agents talk to.
- Ultrafast, web-standard framework; its smallest build is under 14 kB.
- Runs at Cloudflare's edge, close to shoppers and to AI agents.
- Serves the agent endpoints: UCP (Google), ACP (OpenAI) and MCP.
Content
EmDash
Pages, blog and media.
- Open-source CMS from Cloudflare, built on Astro.
- Imports WordPress posts, pages and media.
- Translations per language, sandboxed plugins and a built-in MCP server.
Search
Typesense
Product search as you type.
- In-memory engine: results appear while the shopper is still typing.
- Typo tolerance, filters, synonyms and pinned results for merchandising.
- Open-source alternative to Algolia and Elasticsearch.
Network
Cloudflare
What ties it all together, securely.
- Caches your store close to shoppers across a global network.
- DDoS protection, firewall and one secure login for your team.
- Your server stays private behind a Cloudflare Tunnel, with no open ports.
The store runs on your own server, for example at Hetzner or Cloud86, and your own Cloudflare account. No platform fee and no lock-in: it's built on open-source software, and the accounts are yours.
One sign-in and one dashboard for products, orders, pages and content, with page layouts you arrange from ready-made blocks. Or let your own AI assistant handle the routine work.
Clean product data, structured pages and feeds that AI assistants such as Google Gemini, OpenAI ChatGPT, Anthropic Claude and others can read. Agent checkout switches on as it becomes available in your country.
Store data is stored in the European Union, with backups in your own name.

Our foundation
Built on web standards, not on habits.
Cordill Commerce follows the standards the web itself is built on: HTML and CSS as browsers intend them, WCAG for accessibility, schema.org for structured data, HTTP for speed and caching, and the standard web interfaces that let the same code run in the browser, at the edge and on a server.
It lasts
Standards outlive frameworks, vendors and trends.
It moves with you
Standard code runs anywhere, so you can choose your server host and change it later.
It reaches everyone
Search engines, screen readers and AI assistants all read standards first.
Questions
Frequently asked
Is Cordill Commerce a new e-commerce platform?
No. It's a tested combination of established open-source projects — Vendure, Astro, Hono, EmDash and Typesense — running on Cloudflare's network, set up, integrated and maintained as one product. Each part has its own community and a long track record.
Who hosts my store?
You do, on your own accounts: a server from a provider such as Hetzner or Cloud86, and a Cloudflare account. You pay them directly, and procadena gets access to maintain the store. If you ever leave, everything stays with you.
What will it cost?
Hosting is paid directly to your server provider and Cloudflare, typically from about €25 a month for a small store. Migration and maintenance prices will be announced before the first stores go live.
Do I have to leave WooCommerce or PrestaShop?
Yes — Cordill Commerce replaces them. That's the point: one maintained stack instead of a growing pile of plugins and modules. We migrate your data, content and SEO so the switch is invisible to your customers.
Can AI assistants like Google Gemini or OpenAI ChatGPT buy from my store?
Every Cordill store is prepared for AI shopping from day one: clean product data and feeds that assistants can read, and an agent API built for Google's Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP) and OpenAI's Agentic Commerce Protocol (ACP). Checkout inside AI assistants such as Google AI Mode, Google Gemini and OpenAI ChatGPT is currently limited to a few countries; it will be switched on for your store when it becomes available where you sell.
Can my own AI assistant manage the store for me?
Yes, that's a core part of Cordill Commerce. You connect the assistant you already use through MCP, the open protocol supported by Anthropic Claude, OpenAI ChatGPT and a growing number of other assistants. It can update products, write translations, prepare promotions and check orders for you. It only gets the permissions you give it, its changes are saved as drafts, and it asks you before anything that matters, such as refunds, price changes or publishing. Customer data stays off unless you switch it on, and every action is logged. Some assistants only allow connections like this on their paid plans.
Which languages are supported?
Products, pages and the content editor support multiple languages, including English, Spanish, Polish, French and Italian.
