About AFCommerce

AFCommerce is a practical guide to building an online business. From picking an ecommerce platform and making your first sale to shipping, payments, marketing, and finance, our guides walk you through the decisions that actually determine whether a store succeeds.

What We Cover

The site is organized around the working parts of a real ecommerce business:

  • Ecommerce, including platform comparisons, store setup, and conversion optimization.
  • Marketing, covering SEO, email marketing, and customer retention.
  • Operations, from shipping and fulfillment to inventory and returns.
  • Finance, including payment processing, business banking, and credit.
  • Business, from planning and legal setup to hiring, freelancing, and side hustles.

Free Software

We build tools as well as guides. Our free ACP Payment Module adds Agentic Commerce Protocol checkout and Stripe payments to any MCP server, so AI agents can buy from your store directly. The full source code is on GitHub.

Who Builds It

AFCommerce is part of AI Apps API, a company building AI and automation software across a network of sites. That background shapes the guides here: we pay special attention to where AI genuinely saves an online business time and money.
