@techwraith Oh man, that means a lot! I'm happy you value great design and great product -- they're only going to be more important as we head into the future. Also love what you're working on with Viable Fit!
Checked out swell.
You have done a great job in creating Swell.
It can bring a change to the world of ecommerce.
Appreciated if there was a free plan with limited features too.
Hey ?makers -> what about internationalisation/multi currency/language? Is there any thing on the roadmap? I'm currently scooting for a headless store solution and international is a must have for us ;)
@gauthier_nadaud Most definitely, we know there's a lot of merchants in Europe who need this. We're working on a seamless way to handle multiple regions/markets with unique catalogue content and pricing in several languages. If you can email sales@swell.is with some details on how you want to handle pricing, availability, and payments in different countries that will help us ensure we're covering the most common use cases.
@gauthier_nadaud Great question. By the way, I love our Smiirl :)
Swell already has quite a few internationalization/multi-currency features under the hood but there's still work for us to make them more accessible. We're going to land probably exactly where you expect, but briefly, Swell has:
• An API for real-time currency conversion that can be used in storefronts
• Multi-currency built into the data model (products, orders support designation in any currency independent of the base currency configured for the store)
What's on the roadmap:
• Multi-language translations for content (there are some 3rd party services you can use in the meantime like localize.js)
• Ability to define price lists or rules for pricing in different currencies (as opposed to real-time conversion)
• Methods in SwellJS for easily handling display of these elements on the frontend
That said, all of this is possible on Swell already with customization

Sadly way too expensive on the standard plan at $299 a month compared to Shopify and Squarespace. Shame.
@futuresgreen Hi Darren, what are the features/limits you're referring to exactly? In our pricing, we're factoring in greater developer efficiency/flexibility as well as not needing lots of apps/plugins on top.

@paper_tokyo Hi Dave - the promotions and discount rules are helpful to have on an eCommerce store but I couldn't justify to a client to pay an extra $245 a month, these need to be in the basic package as standard or have an price plan which is between $99 - $150 and put that in there with bulk coupon and advanced reporting. Most of my clients (on Squarespace) never have more than 3 users and maybe 2/3 web hooks. Hope this helps.
Congratulations on releasing Swell into the wild after spending considerable time whiteboarding, wire framing, building, testing and debugging. Looks solid, and I'm just now building a shop on Shopify. Might need to hit pause and try Swell.
Do you have any examples you can share here and on your site so we can see it in action? Keep up the good work!
@rickbakas Here's a demo running our first storefront theme (built with Nuxt.js): https://origin-demo.swell.store/. You can actually set up this exact demo when you sign up just to give it a spin. To see some live (real) stores, check out our case studies with links at: https://www.swell.is/case-studies/
Thanks Rick, hope you get to try it out soon, we'd love to have you!

@ericingram The pricing for Swell is confusing. Tier 1 is $59 and then the next tier up is $299? That's a dramatic jump in price! I'm looking at the features and failing to see what there's such a steep jump. That alone is enough of a deterrent for me to avoid signing up. Wishing you guys success but I will not be using Swell with the current pricing model.
