Prodigy Commerce is the only hosted eCommerce platform for WordPress that’s free at any scale. Prodigy’s unique solution seamlessly blends WordPress’s superior CMS with a powerful platform to create an alternative to WooCommerce. Prodigy was built specifically for the WordPress community of developers, designers, and agencies so that they can more easily build beautiful, secure, fully functional stores for their clients. Store owners gain access to a Shopify-like platform from which to manage their products and orders.
The key benefits of Prodigy’s solution include:
Prodigy’s solution eliminates the complexity, security risks, and costs of WooCommerce’s plugin and extension architecture by tightly integrating all essential functionality, and natively building premium features, into the platform. Integration partners include ShipEngine, TaxJar, MaxMind minFraud, a handful of high-quality payment processors, Google Analytics, and Facebook Pixel. Natively built premium features currently include abandoned cart recovery and the ability to sell products and services on a subscription basis. No third-party services are needed to build fully functional stores.
Prodigy’s business model is based solely upon revenue sharing agreements with the payment processors integrated into its platform, similar to Shopify’s exclusive relationship with payments’ facilitator Stripe. Prodigy, however, does not charge a subscription or app fees; it really is free for the professionals who build stores and their store owner clients. There are no limits on the number of products, orders processed, sales generated, bandwidth or storage used, staff seats, or API requests. Payment processing rates start at the standard 2.9% + $0.30. For high-volume stores, Prodigy helps store owners negotiate lower rates and fees. Prodigy is perfectly aligned with a store owner’s primary goal, generating sales.
Prodigy’s platform is hosted on AWS and the checkout is PCI-compliant. WordPress is self-hosted; however, Prodigy provides every store with a free SSL/TLS certificate. The combination of one plugin and a hosted platform not only reduces the complexity of building stores and their ongoing maintenance but also maximizes site speed and security.
Prodigy’s plugin was built using WordPress conventions and standards. The templates can be overridden to create unique designs or popular themes and page builders, like Elementor Pro, can be used.
Store owners manage their product catalog and daily orders on the platform, which is beautifully designed, intuitive, and easy to work with. WordPress is only used for its strengths: managing content and creating the storefront.
Prodigy provides free phone, email, and online chat support from California for the WordPress community of developers, designers, and agencies and their store owner clients. Prodigy is the opposite of WooCommerce, never hiding behind a support forum and pretending that’s customer service. The Prodigy team wants to communicate with, and proactively respond to any feedback received from, the members of the WordPress community and their store owner clients so that the solution can be continuously improved. Of course, a support forum is available via this plugin page and DIY support can be found via the help center documentation on Prodigy’s website.
The WordPress community of developers, designers, and agencies now have a credible alternative to Shopify and BigCommerce since Prodigy is also a hosted solution but with a unique business model (free). Prodigy’s platform is entirely merchant branded as soon as a store logo is uploaded, providing full control over the look-and-feel so that your store owner clients’ customers have a seamless shopping experience from start to finish. Prodigy always prioritize the store owner’s brand over its own.
It should go without saying, but a store owner’s data is their property. If a store owner wishes to migrate to a different platform, they can use the Prodigy product export tool and the Prodigy team will help them export all of their other content free-of-charge.
Become a Prodigy partner so that you can influence our development roadmap, share your client’ pain points, and learn about financial incentives.
Prodigy’s plugin allows you to synchronize the product catalog from the Prodigy platform to the WordPress frontend and customize the storefront using WordPress conventions and standards.
