Getting started

What is Origela?

Origela is a hosted e-commerce platform. We run the servers, security and updates; you get a complete online store with themes, payments, marketing and AI tools in one plan.

How long does it take to open a store?

Enter your details, pay, confirm your email and add two DNS records. As soon as the records are found, your store is set up automatically, usually within minutes, and we email your admin link. A setup assistant then guides you through logo, products, payments and shipping.

Do I need technical skills?

No. Everything is managed from the admin panel: themes, menus, sliders, pages, products and settings. No code, no plugins, no server.

Can I try it first?

You can explore our live demo store right now. If your store is not right for you, the Refund Policy gives you 14 days to change your mind.

Can you build a custom design for my store?

Yes. Besides the six included themes, we build custom storefront designs for special projects. This is an extra paid service, quoted per project; write to us with a short brief.

Domains and languages

Can I use my own domain?

Yes, every store runs on your own domain. You enter it when you sign up; after payment and email confirmation we show you two DNS records to add at your domain provider (a TXT record for ownership and a CNAME to point it to your store; for the bare domain, CNAME flattening or ALIAS), we check them for you and SSL is set up automatically. No domain yet? Register one at any domain registrar first.

My domain provider does not allow a CNAME on the bare domain (without www). What do I do?

You do not need hosting; your domain company's free DNS panel is enough. For the bare domain (example.com) pick one of three ways: 1. ALIAS / ANAME / CNAME flattening: many providers such as Namecheap, Porkbun, Name.com, Gandi and DNSimple offer this record type; use the same target (stores.origela.com). 2. Move only the DNS to a free DNS service: your domain stays with the same company, only the nameservers change; Cloudflare's free plan, for example, supports a CNAME on the bare domain. 3. Redirect the bare domain to www: enter www.example.com as your domain when you sign up, and turn on "forwarding" for example.com to www.example.com in your provider's panel. Visitors who type example.com still reach your store. Not sure which one fits? Write to us and we will look at it together.

Which languages are supported?

The storefront and admin are available in English, Turkish, German, Spanish, French and Italian. Each language gets its own URLs, and content can be translated with AI and corrected by hand.

Can I sell in other currencies?

Yes. Prices can be shown in multiple currencies, and order emails go out in the customer's language.

Payments and selling

Which payment providers can my store use?

iyzico, PayTR, PayPal, Stripe and bank transfer are built in. You sign up with the provider and paste your keys into the panel.

Do you take a commission on my sales?

No. Origela charges a yearly subscription only. Your payment provider charges its own processing fees.

Can I move from another platform?

Yes. Write to us about your current platform and we will help you move your catalogue. The 301 redirect manager keeps your old URLs and their search ranking.

Who is responsible for what I sell?

You are. Your store is your own business: you are the seller for every order and you are responsible for your products, prices, taxes, invoices, shipping, returns and the consumer rules of the countries you sell to. Origela provides the software and hosting only and is not a party to your sales. See section 9 of the Terms.

Data, security and privacy

Who owns my store data?

You do. We process it only to run your store, as described in our Data Processing Agreement. You can export it at any time.

Is my store secure?

Each store runs on its own database with strict security headers, CSRF protection, two-factor login for staff and encrypted secrets. We apply security updates centrally. No online system can be guaranteed breach-free, so keep your staff logins safe and export your data regularly; section 10 of the Terms explains how security incidents are handled.

Are you GDPR and KVKK compliant?

The platform includes consent records, cookie consent and data export tools. Our Privacy Policy and DPA explain our role as data processor for your store.

Billing

How much does it cost?

$99 per year for everything, including hosting on our servers, SSL, backups and security updates. There are no plan tiers or paid add-ons.

How many products can I add?

Up to 2,000 products and 10 GB of storage for images and files are included; orders and staff accounts are unlimited. Bigger catalog? Ask us for a quote.

Where do I manage my subscription and store?

Your store: in your own store admin at yourdomain/admin. Invoices, renewal and cancellation: through the links in your billing emails. Support: hello@origela.com.

How do I pay?

By bank transfer or Wise, in US dollars, euros or Turkish lira, before your store is set up. Origela issues your invoice. Nothing is charged automatically; before each renewal we email you the amount due.

How does cancellation work?

Cancel anytime, or simply do not pay the renewal; your store stays online until the end of the paid period. After that we keep it for 60 days so you can export your data, then delete it.

Your store, on your own domain.

Every feature, one price: $99 a year. Hosting on our servers, SSL, backups, security updates, all six themes, AI tools and support included.
