Ecommerce, written plainly.
Notes from the team building Orbit — people who run their own stores and ship dozens more every year through the agency behind the platform.
Start here.
The reads to open first — how we think about performance, and what to do in the first week of your store being live.
Launching a storefront that feels instant
What "fast" actually means for a store, what we focus on in Orbit, and the handful of things you can control as the merchant.
Building your first Orbit Commerce store
What the first seven days look like, in the order we would do them — and the bits most people skip that come back to bite later.
Everything else.
Filed by theme. Read what's useful to you, skip what isn't.

SEO that ships by default
Sitemaps, structured data, and clean metadata — what Orbit handles without you thinking about it, and what you still need to do yourself.
Checkout quick wins that actually add up
Small changes that reduce friction at the point people bail — the ones we keep re-implementing for clients because they just work.
Inventory and fulfilment without the chaos
A simple operating model that works whether you are doing 10 orders a month or 10,000, and keeps working as you add locations.
