How it works
From signup to a live store on your own domain. We run the servers, you run your shop.
From signup to your own store admin
-
Enter your domain, store and billing details
Enter the domain you own (or get one first for about 10 to 15 USD a year; it always stays yours), your store name, your email and your invoice details. No password to pick now.
-
Pay $99 a year by bank transfer or Wise
We show you our account details and a payment reference for your store. One yearly price with hosting on our servers, SSL, backups, updates and every feature included. Not the right fit? Ask for a full refund within 14 days of your payment.
-
Confirm your email
Click the link in the message we send you. Check your spam folder if it does not arrive within a few minutes.
-
Add the DNS records we show you
At your domain provider, add a TXT record that proves the domain is yours and a CNAME record that points it to your store. For the bare domain (without www), use CNAME flattening or an ALIAS record. We check the records for you.
-
We set up your store automatically
Once your payment has arrived and your records are found, your store is created on our servers with its own database and an SSL certificate. We email you the link to your store admin at yourdomain/admin.
-
Manage everything in your own store admin
Set your admin password, add your logo and products, pick a theme, connect your payment providers and shipping rates. The admin shows what is left before your first order.

Questions
Do I need my own domain?
Yes. Every Origela store runs on its owner's domain. You can buy one in a few minutes from a registrar such as Cloudflare Registrar or Namecheap.
Which DNS records do I add?
A TXT record that proves the domain is yours, and a CNAME record that points it to your store. For the bare domain, use CNAME flattening or an ALIAS record. We show you the exact values and check them for you.
When and how do I pay?
First, right after you enter your details: by bank transfer or Wise, in US dollars, euros or Turkish lira. We show you our account details and your payment reference, and email them to you. Setup starts once the payment has arrived (usually 1 to 2 business days), your email is confirmed and your DNS records are found. If it is not right for you, ask for a full refund within 14 days of your payment.
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.
Who owns my data?
You do. You can export orders and customers at any time, and we give you a full export on request.
Can I cancel?
Yes, any time. Your store stays open until the end of the year you paid for.
