Built for flexibility

“Headless and API-first solutions is our preference because of the need for flexibility and interoperability. Swell was the most complete offer, with subscriptions and personalization included.”

Antonie CailletFounder, ültro

“You seem to be tackling the common issues with other platforms (such as multi-language and multi-currency) in a beautiful and more importantly simple way.”

“I've spent far too many hours of my life hacking together APIs that were an afterthought. Reading your docs gives me the same breath of fresh air I felt when reading Stripe's documentation for the first time many years ago.”

“It's clear you guys have put a lot of thought into the design of the API. We've evaluated 14 commerce platforms so far and very few offer all of the endpoints and properties necessary for truly headless commerce so we're always excited to find a new platform that has everything covered.”

Rhen ZabelCo-Founder, VIOLET

“So sick that you can have a bunch of options, select whether or not they generate variants, etc... I can't tell you how many hacky things I've done with Shopify to achieve this.”

Joseph ThomasSoftware Developer, Sanctuary Computer

“The ability to create custom notifications and have them blend in seamlessly with the rest of the notifications is so nice. For example, seeing my custom shipping confirmation email in the dashboard... chef's kiss.”

“Using Swell for subscriptions, it just works. We develop it, it shows up in the dashboard, it's beautiful and all integrated. It just makes sense.”

Claudio Christian FofiuDirector of Technology, Monogram

“Swell was very easy to work with. I could get all the information out of the backend very easily, and you could tell it was something that was thought about from the beginning.”
