You started a business,
not an admin job.
Somewhere between the first order and the hundredth, running the shop stops being about the product and becomes about keeping six systems in agreement. Kartsy exists to give that time back.
The admin is not the business. It just behaves like it.
Every hour spent reconciling a stock count against a marketplace export is an hour not spent on the product, the photography or the customer.
Ask a seller where their week went and you rarely hear about selling. You hear about the order that went out of stock after it was paid for, the courier portal that needed the address typed in again, the marketplace listing that drifted out of date, and the spreadsheet that had to be rebuilt because two systems disagreed about the same afternoon.
None of that is the hard part of the business. The hard part is the product and the people who want it. But the admin is what scales fastest, and it is what quietly decides whether growing is worth it.
So we built the whole thing as one product instead of a shop with attachments. Not because integration is elegant, but because the gaps between tools are where the money and the hours actually go.
Three tools, each holding a third of the truth.
The usual setup is a shop wired to an operations tool wired to something for the books. Each one sees a slice of the order, and the important things fall between them.
The shop
Takes the order and knows the customer — but not what is on the shelf or what the sale really cost.
The ops tool
Picks and ships — but works from an export that was accurate an hour ago.
The tax tool
Sees the sale after it has happened, when the important decisions have already been made.
Stock has to be right at the moment someone clicks buy, not an hour later. Tax has to be settled while the sale is happening, not reconstructed from an export. Those things can only be true if one system owns the whole order — which is why we are the shop as well as everything behind it.
See how it fits togetherThe shop
Your own storefront and checkout, plus the marketplaces where buyers are already looking — all from one catalogue.
The back-office
Orders from every channel, stock across every warehouse, and fulfilment on the courier accounts you already have.
The books
Invoices and tax settled as the sale happens, and the numbers that tell you what you actually earned.
Four promises we would rather be held to.
Not values on a wall — the specific things we have decided not to do to you, written down so you can point at them later.
Your data belongs to you
Your catalogue, your customers, your orders. Export any of it whenever you like, including on the way out. A platform that holds your business hostage has stopped competing on being good.
The price should be the price
No compliance tier, no per-feature unlock, no charge for the module that stops you making an expensive mistake. If it is part of running a shop, it is part of the product.
Boring beats clever
This software sits between you and your customers on your busiest day. It should be predictable, legible and dull. Nobody wants a surprise from the system that prints their labels.
Say what is actually built
We would rather tell you a feature is not ready than let you find out at a deadline. Where something is on the roadmap rather than in the product, our pages say so plainly.
A small team, building in the open.
We are early, and we would rather say so than perform being bigger than we are.
Kartsy is built by a small team that has run operations for product businesses and built the systems behind them. We know what a Monday looks like when the stock count is wrong, and we have written the reconciliation spreadsheet we are now trying to make unnecessary.
What that means for you
- You can reach a person who actually built the thing you are asking about.
- What you tell us shapes what gets built next, quickly.
- We will tell you what is not ready rather than let you find out later.
